No Need for KFC

Ok I haven't seen KFC on a diet diary for a long time but this week I saw it twice. AHHHHHHHHH!

I always say there are always options..... if you are going to KFC for some crispy fried chicken because it's a fast food restaurant nearby - stay away. There is always a better option - most chains carry salads or lower fat menu items. There may be a pita place, a sushi place, a Japanese stir-fry place, and of course there is always a Tim Hortons for soup and/or half a sandwich.

If you are going to KFC for the fried chicken because you are craving fried chicken, you can always make a healthier version at home. One of the best things you can do is use corn flakes or brown rice flour or panko (Japanese bread crumbs).

If you have never made 'fried chicken' at home all you have to do is cover the chicken with some plain yogurt for a few hours and place the topping in a separate bowl. You can add sea salt and pepper, parsley, lemon zest, or some ground nuts to the crumbs/cornflakes/flour.

Roll the chicken pieces out of the yogurt and in the toppings to coat, place on baking sheet and in the fridge for an hour. Remove and put in preheated oven (350) and bake for 45 minutes to an hour.
