- It depends on how you cook the chicken, from my observations. If the
- chicken is roasting, and the fat can run off, keeping the skin off
- will keep the chicken moist, and much but not all of the fat will
- drain off. Clearly a good compromise between fat and taste.
- If you are browning the chicken in a pan to which you will add
- sauce, on the other hand, what runs out of the chicken will stay in
- the meal.
