Can people with gout eat yellow-braised chicken (Huangmen chicken)?

Gout patients can eat yellow-braised chicken, but should consume it in moderation. Yellow-braised chicken is not considered a high-purine food, and moderate consumption will not significantly affect gout conditions. This dish contains high-quality protein from chicken, which can supply necessary nutrients and enhance immune function. However, during preparation, some high-purine seasonings or ingredients such as mushrooms or golden needle mushrooms might be added. Therefore, gout patients should choose ingredients with lower purine content whenever possible and control overall intake. At the same time, gout patients should maintain a low-purine diet, drink plenty of water, and control total calorie intake to promote uric acid excretion and manage their condition effectively.
