Most of you must be wondering how this fried chicken is healthy? Well when the lockdown began, I was exploring some chicken recipes and came across my friend, Arun Anandan's WhatsApp story status. I saw that the chicken looked like the ones found in KFC and the outlets were closed that time (my chicken fry looks different though). So while having conversation, he shared the recipe with me and I gave it a try.
It had some healthy things which made it a high protein, medium carbs and medium fat meal. So it's a healthy fried chicken which you can give a try in one-off days.
