Cooking Chicken with Skin???

[tmericola]

I buy bone-in skin-on chicken breast and roast it as is in the oven. I remove the skin as soon as it's done cooking. Anyone know if this adds a significant amount of fat to the meat? Should I stick with skinless?

Are you cooking it with skin up or down?

Never thought of cooking it any other way than how it comes from the butcher. Would that be down?

Your probably cooking it skin up(on top). So you can see the side with the skin when its cooking.

Dah, do i feel stupid. My only excuse is I hadn't had coffee yet when I posted that. Anyway, you're right. Skin up.

I would think it might add a trivial amt. if any
