Choose Wisely, Cook Healthily
Photo Sylvia LAM, a dietitian, said chicken wings and chicken feet, many people's favourites, have a high fat composition because of the skin is not usually removed during served. Eating too much might increase the cholesterol level. She also reminds us to cook chicken in a low-fat healthy way. Deep frying, for instance, may increase fat intake even though the skin is removed.

* Boiling: Chicken fats will be released after a long period of boiling. It is therefore suggested to stand chicken soup for overnight and remove the fat coagulated on the surface before consumption;

Photo * Grilling: Grilling does not only require no additional oil and can also help to get rid of chicken fat as it drips off during the process;

* Blanching before stir-frying: Remove the chicken skin and blanch chicken meat in warm water, then stir-fry with a little oil.
