About Fried chicken
Fried chicken is a popular dish originating from Southern U.S. cuisine, though its influence spans many global cultures. Typically made by coating chicken pieces in seasoned flour or batter and frying them in oil, fried chicken achieves its signature crispy crust and juicy interior. Ingredients often include chicken, flour, eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and various spices for added flavor. Though rich in protein from the chicken, fried chicken is high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to the frying process and seasoning. It can also provide essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin B6, niacin, and phosphorus. Healthier versions may substitute the frying oil with baking or air-frying to reduce fat content. Moderation is key when enjoying this comfort food, as frequent indulgence can contribute to heart-related issues and weight gain. Pairing it with nutrient-dense sides can help balance the meal.
