Fried Chicken is a delicious comfort food that hails from Southern cuisine, renowned for its crispy, golden-brown exterior and juicy, tender meat inside. Made from chicken pieces, typically marinated in a blend of spices and buttermilk before being coated in seasoned flour and deep-fried to perfection, it’s a dish that tantalizes the taste buds. While it offers protein and can be a satisfying meal, it's important to note that frying adds extra calories and fat.
