Chicken Tail, Raw

Chicken Tail, Raw

EverydayRaw

Chicken tail is the fatty, triangular section at the base of a chicken’s spine, known for its high collagen and saturated fat content. This cut contains significantly more fat than lean chicken meat, with a gelatinous texture that softens when roasted or grilled. While rarely consumed as a standalone protein, it is valued in some cuisines for enriching broths or adding moisture to slow-cooked dishes.
