Have you ever walked into your grocery store and had your olfactory senses overrun with the smell of fried foods and what might be the best friend chicken recipe ever? Oh that delightful, heavenly waft of artery-clogging grease, greeting you right when you walk in the door, how do you pass up that friend chicken display that would make dinner so easy? What about those tempting looking wings? With every choice that I make in the grocery store, placing products into my cart, I know that I have the responsibility of preparing foods that are healthy, contain the minimum amount of fat and offer flavor that is robust. My one child has severe food allergies so buying that pre-made, oil-laden fried store chicken is not an option. My decision to buy chicken breast tenders and create a recipe that is fried without oil at home makes it possible for him to enjoy the food that he normally can’t and for me to enjoy the fact that there will be less fat and no grease. Lavishly live this best fried chicken recipe without oil out loud!
Best Fried Chicken Recipe Fried Without Oil
I am about heart healthy foods, and I appreciate that our bodies need a certain percentage of fat in each meal, but I don’t need to soak something in grease to get it crispy to make it fried. We love frozen french fries, after all they are delightful with almost any meal and so are onion rings, but getting those frozen foods from the frozen state to cooked often means dragging out a fryer with oil.
What I know about this fry session is that a mess is about to occur; 1) that awful fry smell is going to remain stagnant in my home long after the meal disappears because oil has that gift that keeps giving and 2) our hearts are about to get over-dosed in greasy foods 3) the cleanup can take hours while I want for the pot to cool and the oil and then of course there is the senseless and necessary disposal of oil. Fast and fried is not necessarily fast and fried and probably the best fried chicken, french fries and other frozen fried foods could have best been served up through a drive through?
I went seeking a healthier alternative to frying and it was not ridding fried foods out of our diets that is just totally unrealistic for our lifestyle. Rather than trying to rid the foods, I found a way to cook fried foods in an oil-less fryer. I have found the way to enjoy all of our favorite frozen and fresh fried foods and additionally prepare them with a minimum of the fat content.
The foods are crisply fried, and if I am taking them right from the freezer I don’t have to thaw them. Additionally, rather than spending a few hours to get that oil heated and not smoking, and prepare basket after basket of fries, I use less energy while cooking the foods up to 3x faster.
Meet my Healthy Boss Oil-Less Fryer, that offers Halogen that directly heats the surface of the food, offers convection cooking at the same time as it circulates the air to speed up the cooking and then of course the infrared heat which cooks the food from the inside out rather than the outside in!
