Fried Chicken Sandwich

Fried Chicken Sandwich

EverydayCooked

A fried chicken sandwich is a protein-rich meal featuring a breaded, deep-fried chicken fillet served on a soft bun, typically accompanied by condiments like mayonnaise and pickles. The crispy coating provides textural contrast but adds significant calories and fats, particularly when prepared with oil-absorbent batters. While offering substantial protein from the chicken, this sandwich often contains refined carbohydrates and sodium from processed toppings and breading.
