Fried chicken breast

Fried chicken is one of the most popular foods in America. When done right, you have a crispy, juicy, hot piece of meat with a hint of saltiness and plain old deliciousness. If you’re staying away from the dark meats, fried chicken breast is the way to go to satiate that fried chicken hankering. Let’s see how the different fast food chicken chains hold up against each other.

If you want less chicken and don’t mind dark meat, the leg is often your healthiest option. Be aware that most fast food restaurants sell their chicken with sides of some kind. Be careful when choosing sides and avoid overly sugary or fatty choices.
