Fried chicken fillets are a popular dish known for their crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat. Typically made from boneless chicken breasts or thighs, they are coated in a seasoned breading or batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. The dish is widely enjoyed across various cuisines but has roots in Southern American cooking, where the tradition of frying chicken with spices and flour became an iconic comfort food. While fried chicken fillets are a good source of protein, they can also be high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to the frying process and breading. Healthier versions can be prepared by baking or air-frying the fillets with whole-grain breadcrumbs and minimal oil. Pairing fried chicken fillets with fresh vegetables or lighter sides can help balance its nutritional profile.
