Chicken is not as bad for cholesterol as other meats such as steak, beef, hamburger meat, bacon etc.
However chicken can still sometimes be bad for cholesterol especially if you eat too much chicken when you already suffer from high cholesterol levels.
Eating chicken in moderation though is okay even for those people who suffer from high cholesterol but if you deep fry the chicken then it becomes less healthy for your health and cholesterol levels.
It's best to bake chicken, boil chicken or just grill the chicken when you want to eat chicken when you have high cholesterol.
