Fried chicken strips are a popular comfort food originating from Southern American cuisine. Typically made from boneless, skinless chicken breast, these strips are cut into pieces, coated in seasoned flour or breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to golden perfection. The crispy exterior and tender interior make them a favorite for all age groups. While chicken itself is a high-protein, low-fat source of nutrients, the frying process introduces additional fat and calories, which may not be ideal for those monitoring their intake. Versions baked or air-fried offer healthier alternatives with reduced fat content. Fried chicken strips are often paired with dipping sauces, which can add extra sugar, salt, or calories. This dish is indulgent but can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Adjusting portion size or opting for whole-grain coatings can enhance its nutritional profile.
