Pargiyot (Chicken Thighs)
Serving: 1 serving (~150 g)
Pargiyot are boneless chicken thighs, marinated and grilled — a Friday-barbecue and shipudiya favorite. Thigh meat is juicier and a bit fattier than breast, so it is rich in protein but higher in fat than schnitzel.
Nutrition per serving
Good to know
- Thigh meat stays moist on the grill, which is why it is so popular for skewers.
- Most of the fat is in the skin and the marinade oil.
- In a laffa with chips and tahini, the meal climbs well past 800 calories.
Logging tip
Skewers come with bread and sides — photograph the whole plate so Nishnush adds them.
