Say goodbye to your bucket of fried chicken Fried chicken is chicken which is dipped in a breading mixture and then deep fried, pan fried or pressure fried. The breading seals in the juices but also absorbs the fat of the fryer, which is sometimes seen as unhealthy. . Get ready for healthy, delicious, no-effort poultry at home.

Burgers & Patties

Consider the typical (quarter-pound before cooking) hamburger.

Tyson and Banquet make breaded fat-free patties that are baked, not fried 1. (hardware) fried - Non-working due to hardware failure; burnt out. Especially used of hardware brought down by a "power glitch" (see glitch), drop-outs, a short, or some other electrical event. . Eat one instead of the companies' regular patties and you'll save 13 grams of fat, three of them saturated.

But just because a burger's made of poultry doesn't automatically mean it's good for you. A Wampler Barbeque Turkey Burger, for example, will set you back four grams of saturated fat saturated fat, any solid fat that is an ester of glycerol and a saturated fatty acid. The molecules of a saturated fat have only single bonds between carbon atoms; if double bonds are present in the fatty acid portion of the molecule, the fat is said to be . That's almost twice as much as many other turkey burgers. (It could lose a gram or so when you cook it, though.)

Wampler's package lists "turkey" as the first ingredient. That can mean dark meat, light meat, and/or fat and skin.

If you're a meatball fan, check out Tyson Italian Style Chicken Meatballs or Shady Brook Farms Brook Farm, 1841–47, an experimental farm at West Roxbury, Mass., based on cooperative living. Founded by George Ripley, a Unitarian minister, the farm was initially financed by a joint-stock company with 24 shares of stock at $500 per share.  Italian-Style Turkey Meatballs. They both have a tad too much sat fat for a Best Bite (and the Tyson has too much sodium), but they've got just one third the fat (and sat fat) of beef meatballs.

Breaded Breasts & Cutlets

Companies giveth, and companies taketh away. Look at Perdue Low Fat Italian Breaded Chicken Breast Cutlets. Each one has just three grams of fat--less than a third of the usual breaded chicken breast (that's the giveth). But the 700 mg of sodium is almost as much as you'd get in a nine-piece order of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets Chicken McNuggets (introduced in June 1983) are a fast food product offered by the restaurant chain McDonald's. They popularized the chicken nugget, which had been invented in the 1950s, and are one of the most popular trademarked items on the McDonald's menu.  (that's the taketh). We found only one breaded patty--Tyson Breast Fillets--that kept both the fat and sodium in check.

Breaded Nuggets & Tenders

A six-piece order of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets has 17 grams of fat and 510 mg of sodium. Many packaged nuggets have at least that much fat, thanks to dark meat and skin. Some have almost 700 mg of sodium.

Too bad they missed a Best Bite by a half-gram of saturated fat.

But be careful. Just because a tender has the word "breast" in its name doesn't mean it's low-fat. Take Banquet Original Breast Tenders. All that oil and breading give a three-tender serving 15 grams of fat, four of them saturated. That's about the same as many nuggets. Tyson Breast Tenders are almost as bad.
