Density 59 · -18 vs Poultry medianRaw ground chicken scores 59 of 100, a Fair band, but that ranking is relative: it comes in 52nd of 60 in the poultry category, well below the category median of 77. Its strength is protein, at 35% DV per 100 grams, with a smaller contribution of potassium at 11% DV.
Ground chicken is a workhorse in burgers, meatballs, tacos, and stir-fries, prized for taking on seasoning easily; a 4 ounce (113 gram) crumbled portion is a standard main-dish serving. No specific limits are flagged here, but because this cut sits well below the poultry median, shoppers wanting a denser option might compare it with ground turkey or pheasant, both of which score higher in this category.
