Roast chicken is the Sunday dinner that brings American families together. With 25g of protein and just 190 kcal per 100g, it's one of the best protein-to-calorie ratios in home cooking. The dark meat delivers niacin (8.5mg) and selenium (25mcg) — key for energy metabolism and antioxidant defense — while vitamin B6 (0.48mg) supports brain health. The zero-carb profile makes it a go-to for low-carb and keto dieters. Season simply with salt, pepper, and herbs, then roast at high heat for crispy skin and juicy meat. One bird feeds a family of four and yields bones for homemade stock. It's the gift that keeps giving all week.
