People with gout and high uric acid are recommended to eat a moderate amount of lean protein such as chicken per day. Limit your portion sizes to 50-80 grams per meal.
Chicken, like all poultry, meat, fish, shellfish (and some plant-based foods), is a source of purines.
You can still eat chicken if you have uric acid, you should use certain cooking methods and limit the portion sizes.
Do not use cooked chicken with some sauces that are high in purines. Instead, steam or boil the chicken, using a small amount of spices to enhance the flavor of the meal. Eating chicken with complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and starchy vegetables can reduce uric acid levels in the blood.
Supplementing enough water also helps prevent urate accumulation in the body. However, if your recent gout symptoms become more severe, eliminate chicken from your diet until gout subsides and consult an expert or doctor before using.
