Fried Chicken

Fried Chicken

EverydayCooked

Fried chicken is a protein-rich dish made by coating chicken pieces in seasoned flour or batter and deep-frying them until crispy. While the cooking method provides a signature golden crust and moist interior, it significantly increases calorie density and saturated fat content compared to baked or grilled preparations. Commonly seasoned with paprika, garlic, and black pepper, this comfort food staple varies regionally but universally balances savory flavor with textural contrast.
