Fried chicken strips are a popular dish featuring boneless pieces of chicken coated in a seasoned breading and deep-fried to golden perfection. Originating in American cuisine, they are a staple of comfort food and widely enjoyed for their crispy texture and juicy interior. Typically made with chicken breast, the strips are coated in flour or breadcrumbs mixed with spices, providing a flavorful crunch. While chicken is a lean protein source, the frying process adds calories and fat, especially when cooked in oil high in saturated fats. Some recipes include additional sodium in the seasoning, which may require moderation for those watching their salt intake. Healthier variations include baking or air-frying the strips and using whole grain breading. Fried chicken strips are often paired with dipping sauces or sides like fries, which further increase calorie and fat content, making portion control and balanced pairings important for healthier consumption.
