Chicken is generally
a lean meat, before you start with altering it for cooking.
Fried chicken is probably the worst take-away food you could have.
If you're having roast chicken, remove the skin before you eat it
and save yourself a few extra hours in the gym!
As mentioned in other
sections of this site, it's a good idea to invest in a few
non-stick pots and pans for cooking your favorite foods so you
don't need to use as much butter and oil - and in most cases, you
don't need any at all. Grilling chicken rather than frying is a
great way to keep the delicious lean chicken taste but reduce the
saturated fat that comes with deep-frying and shallow frying.
If a recipe you're
following requires crumbing the lean chicken, try to either avoid
white bread, or use a mix between wheat or multi-grain and white
bread. Remember you can bake your crumbed chicken rather
than shallow or deep-frying it! Sure, there won't be as much
a butter taste to it, but it will still be crunchy and delicious -
and LEAN!
