Main St. Rutherfordton, NC 28139 How To Make Fried Chicken Healthier Fried chicken is a favorite food for people across the globe. It's unknown who was the first person to coat chicken in breading or flour and submerge it in boiling oil, but it is well known that the resulting dish is beloved by many. Perhaps the lone pitfall to fried chicken is it is not very healthy. Fried foods in general are primary contributors to obesity problems in many countries. The average serving size of fried chicken (roughly 4 ounces) weighs in at 294 calories, with 14.9 grams of fat, 96 grams of cholesterol and 311 milligrams of sodium. Considering it's difficult to eat just one piece, a person may be consuming nearly half of their recommended daily fat intake in one meal. But despite being fried and calorie-dense, fried chicken is still a nutrient-rich dish that can be acceptable when eaten in moderation. There are even ways to make fried chicken healthy without compromising taste. The crunchy coating and juicy interior of fried chicken can be created without the need for frying, while removing the skin cuts down on the meal's calories and fat. Marinating the chicken in a brine or buttermilk can help keep the meat tender and juicy. That's because the marinating solution will start breaking down the proteins in the meat, increasing its tenderness. Just do not marinate too long or your chicken will turn mushy. Next, lightly coat the chicken in cooking spray so that the coating will have something to stick to without adding a lot of extra fat and calories. Coat the chicken in whole-wheat flour to add flavor and make it even more healthy. Herbs and garlic can be added to the flour to impart flavor. For more crunch, think about adding sesame seeds to the flour or a small amount of cornmeal. When it's just about ready to go into the oven, preheat the oven to 425o F. A hot oven will give the chicken a crispy crust and make the food cook more quickly. Place the chicken on a wire rack on top of a sheet pan so that heat can distribute all around the chicken. Otherwise you will be left with a crispy top and a soggy bottom. ~ Courtesy Of Metro Editorial LOUIE'S CAFE Love At First Slice! $ 1 $ 4 Indoor Haunted Attractions At One Location!
