NO CARB FRIED CHICKEN

Man-O-Man, I wanted some fried chicken. Last week, my middle son made some fried chicken to be used for multiple meals. The aroma of that golden brown, crispy, finger-licking, “um-um goodness” permeated the house for hours after he cooked it. The only problem is I don’t choose to eat or cook fried foods. It’s not part of my nutrition plan.

I ended up choosing to try to make some fried chicken healthier and it turned out really good. (Though, next time I am going to try my “NEW” airfryer instead.) I have always tried to create recipes and meals that are “good for you, look good, and taste good.” After all, if it doesn’t “appeal” to me I am not going to fix or eat it.

My Thot: you don’t have to give up your favorite foods. Work on making them better - healthier for your fitness or lifestyle goals. It’s an amazing feeling and complement when I’ve made a recipe healthier, it doesn’t taste like stereotypical “health food,” and I get compliments from people who don’t realize it’s better for them. That’s a testament to creativity if I say so. Comment below and tell me how you have been creative in your food preparations and as always, SUBSCRIBE to receive blog updates in your inbox.
