As along as you are having it in limited quantity and taking your medicines well and keeping uric acid below 6.
Chicken is considered a relatively healthy meat especially and skinless boneless breast part of it.
Remember skin, legs and drumstick contains more fat and/or purines. Also fried chicken is bad for health for gout patients, not only because it’s chicken, but more because it’s fried
So general rules
Most important, take meds (because gout risk is partially genetic) and keep uric acid below 6mg/dl (monitor 2–3 monthly at least)
2. Try roasted or boiled chicken. Prefer skinless and boneless breast (the whiter part). Restrict meat to less than 100g per day. Avoid gravies, creams etc (which increase the fat and offset the good effect)
3. Avoid having meat during really bad attacks and until you reasonably control your gout
4. Keep your attack pills handy (your doctor might have given you them) for those ‘binge on chicken’ days where you really can’t control and push your uric acid off the edge
The earlier one starts proper gout meds and longer you take your meds properly, with target uric acid being maintained, the lesser you will have to worry about having so much if’s and but’s on eating chicken
