Moderate-purine chicken plus sugary barbecue sauce raises uric acid, so enjoy only occasionally with control.
Good
Skinless chicken breast provides lean protein with moderate purines; unsweetened or vinegar-based sauces avoid the fructose trigger.
Bad
Barbecue sauce with high-fructose corn syrup directly spikes uric acid, and chicken's hypoxanthine adds a moderate purine load that may raise flare risk.
