Healthy Versions of Faithful Fried Chicken Recipes

Let’s take a look at that old standby fried chicken recipe just to give a few tips on reducing the fat and getting a nice browning with the chicken cooked all the way through and in a speedier fashion. Partially cook the chicken in the microwave. Because the meat is cooked from the inside out, you don’t have to fry it as long, thus avoiding an overdone skin. Cooking in a convection oven, on a pan with a slotted rack, allows the fat to run off and browns the chicken perfectly, as a good replication of fried chicken. Whole chickens are often the most economical, in terms of price per pound.
