Fried chicken is a popular dish consisting of chicken pieces coated in seasoned flour or batter and deep-fried to achieve a crispy exterior. Originating in the Southern United States, fried chicken has become a global comfort food, often served with sides like coleslaw or mashed potatoes. Common ingredients include chicken, flour, spices, oil, and buttermilk, depending on the recipe. While fried chicken is a good source of protein, its preparation involves frying in oil, which increases its fat content and calorie density. The crispy breading often adds refined carbohydrates. Frequent consumption may contribute to excess calorie intake and higher cholesterol levels. Moderation and pairing it with nutrient-rich sides like steamed vegetables can help balance its nutritional impact. Baked or air-fried alternatives can be a healthier variation.
