Chicken Leg Meat (Broilers or Fryers) (1 Leg Bone And Skin Removed (Yield From 1 Lb Ready To Cook Chicken))

Choose plain roasted, grilled, baked, or air-fried chicken leg meat; avoid breading, sweet glazes, barbecue sauce, honey, and sugary marinades.

Remove the skin if a higher-fat portion seems to worsen your personal glucose response, and keep the serving size consistent while testing.

Pair the chicken with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, spinach, green beans, or a leafy salad rather than fries, rolls, rice, or sweet sides.

Use lemon juice, vinegar-based dressings without added sugar, herbs, garlic, pepper, or mustard to season the meal instead of sweet sauces.

Eat slowly and start the meal with vegetables; this can reduce how quickly the overall meal is absorbed.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and check whether the rise may be linked to sauces, side dishes, portion size, or timing rather than the chicken itself.
