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.

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.


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.
