Chicken ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 1,867 chicken products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the chicken numbers show

1,867 of the 1,870 chicken products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 8.9g of protein per 100 calories. 786 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in two, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 20 to 547 per 100g inside this one group, a 27-fold spread, so “chicken” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 12.8g of protein per 100 calories across 660 products, against 7.6g for the 1,207 name-brand ones.

The chains are not equal on this: Aldi runs a median of 16.5g of protein per 100 calories across its 86 own-label chicken products, SuperValu 9.7g across 53.

What to actually pick

On the numbers the pick is Nature only Organic chicken tenders: 24g of protein per 100 calories, 2.7 times the 8.9g median for the group.

26 of the 1,867 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

That chain-by-chain gap is why the biggest ranges get their own page: Aldi Chicken covers 86 products, and everything else Aldi sells sits alongside it.

A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.

For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the calorie app.

Real chicken products with a photo

Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.
