About Chicken, ground, raw

Ground chicken is minced chicken meat, popular as a lighter alternative to beef or pork in burgers, meatballs, tacos and pasta sauces. How lean it is depends on the cut: mince made from breast is very low in fat, while a blend including thigh and skin is richer and more flavorful.

At roughly 143 calories per 100 grams raw, it is a lean, high-protein choice that also supplies niacin, B6, selenium and phosphorus. Because lean poultry mince holds little fat, it can dry out and taste bland if overcooked, so cooks often add moisture and seasoning — onion, herbs, a splash of oil — to keep it juicy.

Like all poultry, ground chicken must be cooked through to about 74C / 165F to be safe. Handled well, it is a flexible, everyday source of lean protein that takes on whatever flavors you cook it with.
