Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Fried chicken thighs are safe with precautions during pregnancy when cooked completely through to 165°F. Dark poultry meat delivers heme iron, choline, and riboflavin, which assist in maternal red blood cell synthesis. Deep frying increases fat and caloric density, so enjoying smaller portions is advisable. Make sure the meat is hot and shows no pink juices around the bone before eating.
