Stupid chicken?

Ok, I know that fried chicken is not good for you. But I love it! Other than fat and calories is fried chicken still good for protein? If I eat a chicken sandwith is getting fried really that much worse?

If you can't respond without being a sarcastic azz, then please do not respond

You said it right there. Its no good Its full of fat, calories, and sodium

are you frying it yourself or going out for KFC?

In looking at nutritional data on it, it seems that in 130g of fried breaded chicken there are 300 cals and 149 cals are from fat.
I would say no if you are dieting and or trying to get lean, etc. If you love it that much use it as your cheat meal.
Bottom line is: not the healthiest choice, depends on goals, if you have to do....do it in moderation, were all going to die of something.....why not be happy....imo
good luck

Thank you, not a fan of KFC but will mostly eat at restaurants.

LOL... Can you get ripped on Fried chicken... surprising YES YOU CAN..... is a good idea NO ITS NOT LOL.... as stated above cheat meal is best.... I guess I'm lucky in the fact that I was brought up on bland food... potatoes with no butter... pan fried chicken in an iron skillet without added oil or anything...

[JD250]

This is an interesting and legit question, I have no misconceptions about eating fried chicken from a resturant but why couldn't you fry some chicken in olive oil or coconut oil and make your own healthy breading? Is it possible to do in a healthy way?

[Dr. R.]

Although I have never tried this one my friends, who happens to be a chemist, told me that pineapple juice mimics frying oil extremely well. It just gives your food a sweeter taste.

I will try it soon.

skinless chicken and some garlic in a little olive oil....do it often. We need some olive oil in our diets. It is good for you. Especially if you eat super clean.

I say absolutely. Breading...hmmm.....i say no way to that. but like i said above....use it to cheat.

You dont need olive oil... it happens to be omega 6 heavy like most everything in this world... if remember correctly its something like 10-1... You really wanna stick to flax oil/macadamia nut oil and krill/fish oils... Not saying olive oil is bad for you but excesses will have an inflammatory effect just like any other fats...

not to mention im pretty sure heating it to a temp to fry chicken kills all its goodness

[ajordana]

for a cheat meal occasionally, go for it. on a regular basis? i wouldnt, the fried part is awful for you. as stated though there are healthy homemade options you could opt for..

[Noles12]

Yep. It oxidizes and degrades the healthy fats at those high temperatures

we don't NEED olive oil correct, we don't NEED meat either as every vegan out there is trying to prove to us everyday.
I am just saying olive oil is an excellent part of any daily diet. NOT EXCESS AMOUNTS EITHER. You can't deny the great
properties of it thought like lowering your LDL and raising your HDL and also helps protect the arteries from plaque build up and
therefore helps in preventing heart disease. Many studies and stats have been done on this and in the Mediterranean region the mortality rate
due to heart disease is much lower than the the US and other countries because of their high mono-unsaturated intake.
I usually grill or bake my chicken with no oil. I love to saute with a little olive oil and garlic with some of my sea food choices though.

Im not sure why you are being so defensive over it. Most here have said olive oil is not a good choice when frying. Other than that i think it is great

[boxin23]

That is why I hate texting and typing....you usually can't read emotion very well over text...

Sorry brother not being defensive at all. I was just further explaining some good properties of olive oil to the guy who originally posted this as he was asking about fried chicken. I figured he may be interested in a little more.
We have def. beat up the olive oil topic tonight.

later

who eats bread???? i mean the gly***ic load of 2 slices of bread is like eating sugar.. just say no..

want to fry it?? use grape seed oil a little salt and pepper and flour..

[JD250]

So grape seed oil won't degrade at high temps? As far as breading for fried chicken, there has to be something healthy that can be used and would fit within macros, this stuff should prolly be in the recipe section.

[joebailey1271]

So what is a good oil to fry it then.

[Noles12]

When it comes to frying it is difficult to say which one is good due to the high heat degrading the healthy fats. The food will absorb a good amount of the oil with the healthy fats oxidizing and becoming useless. Therefore all you are left with is your bad fats being absorbed

A half gallon of dairy and fruit sounds like a sugar overload

when you burn meat, like bacon, I read quite some years ago that the residual carbon left behind may also contain some carcinogens

[--->>405<<---]

YEH I HEARD that it may also cause cancer
