Chicken is moderate in purines; portion size and preparation determine gout safety.
Good
Skinless breast or thigh is a lean protein for occasional meals. Baking, grilling, or boiling reduces fat and avoids added triggers.
Bad
Fried chicken, sugary sauces, and gravies concentrate purines or add fructose. Chicken liver and other organ meats are high-purine and should be avoided.
