Some of the most popular options on our delicious barbecue menu are our plethora of chicken options. With mouth-watering bar-b-q chicken wings, chicken tenders, sandwiches and more, chicken continues to be a crowd favorite. But did you know that chicken can do more than just taste really good? It’s true! Read on to explore some health benefits that can come with enjoying chicken from your favorite Orlando BBQ restaurant.

It Can Relieve Stress

Believe it or not, chicken can help to reduce stress in a few ways! Chicken not only carries two nutrients – tryptophan and Vitamin B5 – that have calming effects on your body, but chicken also induces happiness through enjoyment many find when eating the tasty food. 

It Can Strengthen Bones & Muscles

As an excellent source of amino acids, chicken can help build muscle tissue. Plus, serving as a protein source, eating chicken can contribute to the maintenance of bone mineral density that comes with consuming a good amount of protein. That means stronger bones and muscles!

It Can Promote Heart Health

Chicken is rich in the nutrient Vitamin B6, which is a nutrient that helps to lower the levels of homocysteine – a component linked to heart attacks. Chicken can also lower the risk of heart disease through its source of niacin, which can lower cholesterol. 

While eating chicken alone won’t cure everything, it does offer proven health benefits. That means you can feel good about enjoying your favorite bar-b-q style wings from Dustin’s or chargrilled chicken breast. Whatever you choose to enjoy from your favorite barbecue restaurant in Orlando – chicken or otherwise – Dustin’s Bar-B-Q is happy to serve you with safe, secure dine-in, takeout and curbside options.
