I really want fried chicken but being that I already fell off the wagon once already, i REALLY don't want to go down that road... any suggestions??
Something that isn't fried chicken, but maybe like fried chicken :-)

Oven fried chicken--- homemade "shake n bake"!! Yummy. just throw whatever seasoning you like into some bread crumbs, dredge the (skinless) chicken in that, and bake it.

Baked chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, or even a baked chicken burger with a side of baked fries. It's good for you, lower in calories than nasty fried chicken, and delicious! :flowerforyou:

A bit of shake and bake (or find a recipe for your own breaded coating) on some boneless, skinless chicken breast. Bake in the oven. Better than fried chicken because you're not eating all of that nasty grease.

Mix some bread crumbs with grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, toss your chicken in it. Lay it in your baking dish and spray with olive oil (you can get a pump from any kitchen gadget store for about $10). The olive oil will get you that crunch that you want without having it cook in grease. The parmesan cheese also crisps up a little bit to add some crunch.

Kentucky Fried Chicken's Grilled Chicken is amazing with not all the calories of fried, it is beyond great!

The Hungry Girl Cookbook has a recipe for a "fake" fried chicken that uses Fiber One cereal for the breading. I tried it last week and it was really good. I used a boneless, skinless chicken breast and the breading was really very crispy and tasty and reminded me of old fashioned fried chicken.
