About Fried and chicken
Fried chicken is a popular dish with roots in Southern American cuisine, showcasing a crispy, golden exterior and tender, juicy meat inside. Traditionally made by coating chicken pieces in seasoned flour or batter and frying them in oil, this preparation method gives fried chicken its distinct crunch and savory flavor. While rich in protein, fried chicken is also high in fat and calories due to its frying process, especially if cooked in trans-fat-laden oils or consumed in large portions. Some recipes use herbs and spices that may offer anti-inflammatory benefits, but its sodium content can be substantial, depending on seasoning. To make fried chicken healthier, it can be air-fried or baked with whole-grain coatings. While indulgent and flavorful, moderation is key for incorporating fried chicken into a balanced diet.
