Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Fried chicken wings are safe with precautions during pregnancy when fried until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. They deliver poultry protein, choline, and vitamin B12, but have a high ratio of fried skin to meat that concentrates saturated fat and sodium. Ensure the wings are freshly prepared and steaming hot with no raw juices. Limit your serving to a couple of wings and combine with raw sliced cucumbers and carrots.
