Gout patients may consume chicken in moderation. Patients with gout should adhere to a low-purine diet whenever possible. Chicken, duck, goose, and other poultry are classified as moderate- or low-purine meats. Generally, moderate-purine meats should be limited—especially during acute gout flares or periods of elevated serum uric acid levels.
