Some chicken is like that, you shouldn't have that much yellow, mostly where I see it when I buy chicken is at the ends of the drumsticks.
Another view:
The yellow skin results from high levels of carotene in the diet. This is usually from corn.
Carotene is an orange pigment which is used by many animals to synthesize Vitamin A. It is stored in the fat so that is why if you see it in the fat or skin.
Some people will pay extra for 'corn fed' chicken because they think it is a superior product.

∙ 9y agoPlease be more specific about which type of chicken are you referring to. A butchered chicken with its skin on, will turn pale after few days in the refrigerator. This is why doctors advise to consume chicken within 3 days of being butchered.

Why do some Jews have yellowish skin?
Jews do not have yellow skin. That is just what the Nazis said to help their propaganda. They can only have yellow skin if they are Mongolian. More to the point, a Jew could have yellowish skin for EXACTLY the same reasons that a non-Jew could have yellow skin (liver issues, lack of hygiene, being of a specific genetic makeup, etc.). Having a yellowish skin is in no way attributable to being Jewish, either by genetics or behavior.
How many calories in 3 oz of grilled chicken breast?
That depends. How is it prepared? Are you using oil or butter? Using fats to prepare the chicken adds quite a few calories. If you steam or roast the chicken using spices only, 3 oz of chicken is about 90 calories. (Assuming the chicken is skinless and boneless.) Is there skin? Skin adds to the calorie content considerably. To save on calories, prepare the chicken with skin, and remove the skin after preparation to retain moisture.

What state or country does chicken comes from?
Depending on which egghead at what University is applying for a grant would make some difference but in general...most would agree chickens are descended from Red jungle fowl (Gallus gallus) in Asia.Recent evidence that they were domesticated as early as 10,000 years ago in Vietnam has been found and that has been an issue of contention with some that hold that India was the first to domesticate them.Also much infighting among the ranks as to how our domestic chickens with yellow skin came about as the Red jungle fowl would not carry or then pass this trait.So in some camps our modern chicken has descended from a mixture of both The Red (Gallus gallus) and the Grey jungle fowl (.G. sonneratii). I think this is more likely the case as the Grey jungle fowl does carry and can pass this trait and a lot of our domestic chickens have yellow skin. To have yellow skin does mean that some where on the evolutionary tree one of the ancestors had to carry that gene.

Who came the chicken or the egg?
That depends on your beliefs on evolution. In my opinion, the material egg came first, seeing as the chicken was not a chicken when it was in the egg. Some previous creature had offspring with mutated genes, which grew from in the egg and eventually became what we today call the "chicken".
