Fried chicken is easy. Just get some atkin's bake mix or some plain soy flour. I prefer the bake mix, but at 12 bucks it is expensive. I use breast filets, but any piece will do. Season with salt and pepper or whatever and then dip in egg, then roll in bake mix. Fry. Easy. Good.

I will try that cause I like pork rinds cheers

...i just read that fried chicken recepie with the spicy pork rinds breading! wow! I'm gonna try that tomorrow!

I'm so glad you all want to try it! It is REALLY good. I just finished up my last 3 leftover chicken strips with my lunch salad. YUM!

Deep-fat frying will structurally change all unsaturated fats (like those in chicken skin) from the healthy cis- configuration to the dreaded trans- configuration. It's the extreme heat and oxygen, inherent to deep-fat frying, that damages the fats.

OH NO! And all this time I thought all the fat was GOOD! Darn. I don't know if I can give it up, it's one of my favorites. Maybe limit it to an every once and a while treat. Man, how come everything good has a hidden black cloud hanging over it?!

I have had many,many meals out of "deep fried" chicken cooked in the frier and a little less than 2 months on the diet and I am down 35 pounds, so it can't be just to bad now, huh?

God just when I think Im getting the hang of this diet sombody tells me somehting I didnt know and I think POOH!! lol

...i bought my chicken, porkies and parmesan chesse tonight...i am making this dish tomorrow! i am also chowing on peperroni as i type (only problem is greasy fingers = slipery keyboard!)

i can't worry about every little dang thing or i'd be in the looney bin...my son in law was trying to tell me about the trans-configuration and i had to tell him to stop...i tend to go over board on most everything i do and if i find out i'm doing more things to harm myself i'm lible to give up...i just SO want this diet to work and to get at least some of my figure back they way it was...i fell depression slowing creeping in here, guys...help!

i did it!!! omg...it was delicious! i have two big pieces left for lunch and dinner tomorrow...i'm so stoked! i can fry me some walleye now!!

If anyone needs any convincing that "home-cooked" is better for you in every way (except convenience), take a minute to check KFC's nutritional disclosures:

So gald you tried the chicken! Isn't it Wonderful!?!?! Th walleye sounds good. I was thinking about trying catfish.

Should work for shrimp and scallops, too. Think I'm gonna dig out my old "Fry-Baby"!

I missed the pork rind recipe!!!!
