I hate to say it, but frying isn't all that bad if the temperature is correct. If the temp isn't right, then the fat gets absorbed, when the temperature is perfect, it creates a seal immediately and no further fat can absorb into the chix. Around 375 should do it.
Use a sunflower or other light oil instead of a higher fat oil like peanut....
Well you can make chicken salad it's helthy and it tastes good
An alternative to frying is baking. Do the chicken the same as if you're preparying it to fry....lay it on a cookie sheet and place in the oven at 375 degrees.
Make sure that the oil is hot enough before you put the meat in the pan. if not, the oil will saturate into the breading and meat and cause it to be extra greasy. Try looking up recipes for oven fried chicken. They tend to be less greasy.
The whole problem with frying is that most people do not let their oil get hot enough before placing the chicken in to fry.





When you have your oil hot enough it fries the chicken and does not soak into the chicken.





A real good way to make sure your oil is hot enough to put that first piece in is to take a wooden spoon and insert the tip in the oil. If it bubbles around the end of the wooden spoon the oil is ready. No need for those expensive thermometers.





Make an egg bath with egg, hot sauce and mustard. Depending on the amount of chicken depends on how much egg bath you need. Whisk it all together and dip the chicken pieces in and out and then coat with seasoned flour.





Place the chicken in the hot oil and fry up to a golden brown.





You will not taste the hot sauce and the mustard allows the chicken to have the prettiest golden color when fried.





And, if I am going to fry I am going to fry with Crisco oil.
Lemon chicken: Use Chicken breasts with no skin and bone, white flower and 1 juicy lemon (juiced) + a spoon of oil (I like olive oil but sunflower oil does the job too!). Cut the breasts of chicken in thin layers or strips. Pass them in the flower, heat up the oil. When the oil is hot, put the chicken in and straight away add the lemon jouice. The more jouice you use, the more lemony the taste. I like it very lemony but it is up to you.


Let fry till the chicken is cooked being carefull not to burn it (the flower can get easily burnt).


You can also use white wine insted of lemon juice, to get a different type of taste.


Hope you'll like it!
Fryed foods are never healthy , but you can put just a bit of oil in your pan to fry chic. fry on high for just a couple of min. to brown it , then put water in it ,cover and cook it on the stove the remander of the time .( keep adding water as it goes down ) It'll be so tender it'll fall off the bone .
Dear Rosey: cooking in the frying pan isn't exactly the healthiet but if you must use canola oil...you can mix several spices like dill seed, paprika(generous amount), salt %26amp; pepper, marjoram etc mix the chicken and spices in a baggie and put on low in pan or remove the skin cook with tumeric an sesame seed oil and a dash of diet soya sauce(less sodium)...gotta go now getting hungry....i'm on a diet and fried chicken has over 360cal just for the breast...have fun...check the web lots of recipes to soot all needs...the foodnetwork for one...
fry with conala oil or peanut oil
