The sugary teriyaki sauce poses a greater gout risk than the moderate-purine chicken itself.
Good
Skinless chicken breast is a moderate-purine protein that can be eaten in small portions a few times a week during remission without triggering flares.
Bad
The sauce is loaded with added sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, which directly raises uric acid. Grilling retains full purines, and high sodium content can worsen hypertension.
