My Top 5 Crispy Chicken

With so many variants and brands available in the market, picking the best one can be hard especially when every brand offers the best of the best. So, I went to the store, picked as many options as possible and curated a list based on packaging options, nutrients and additives information, along with cooking methods and availability.

K&N’s Tender Pops

These crispy, breaded tender pops can be cooked in an air fryer, oven, or deep fryer – making them a perfect choice for any occasion. Plus, it comes with no artificial additives or preservatives, and consists of only 110 calories per serving.

Dawn Chicken Shots

These bite-sized pieces of chicken are made with 100% real chicken and no additives. They can also be cooked in an air fryer, so they have less fat than deep-fried chicken. At just 159 calories per serving, these are yummy bites.

Big Bird Drummets

Big Bird Drummets are fully oven cooked, so they only need a few minutes in hot oil to crisp up. With only 204 calories per serving, these delicious drumsticks are sure to score anyone’s heart.

Simply Sufi Spicy Chicken Poppers

Simply Sufi understands desi foodies like no other, providing the crispy chicken popper in spicy version to satisfy the taste buds of every spice lover. This just couldn’t be missed on my list of top 5 yummy crispy chicken!

Menu Chicken Popcorn

Popcorn chicken is usually high in calories and fat. However, Menu chicken popcorns can be a healthier option when air-fried with only 220 calories and just as crispy and yummy as the fried version. Though, they are not gluten-friendly so be aware of that.

Make it Extra Crispy!

It can be tricky to get the great crisp every time at home but with my tips that does not seem impossible anymore. Make it extra crispy with me.

1. Always double fry your chicken for added crunch.
2. Use good quality vegetable oil for frying.
3. Always read labels and instructions before cooking.
4. Serve hot and crispy!

All About Storing and Defrosting my Ready to Cook Crispy Chicken

When shopping for ready-to-cook items, be sure to check for expiration dates and avoid any that have preservatives or artificial colorants because they can cause health problems when eaten later on down the line! Once home, I put those tasty treats in either the fridge (for defrosting) or the freezer section as soon as possible; this way I would not be risking having my favorite ingredients go bad before use – not only does it spoil their flavor but also makes us feel kind of sad about wasting good food.

The World without Crispy Chicken

Without crispy chicken, our world would be a sad place. The crunchy exterior and juicy interior of a well-cooked chicken is a thing of beauty, and to live in a world without it would be nothing short of tragic. Memories of golden chicken skin crackling in the fryer would bring only pain, and the thought of never again being able to have one, would make even the strongest person weep. Thankfully, I don’t have to live in such a dark and dreary world. Crispy chicken is here to stay, and for that we can all be grateful. Crunch, Crunch, Crunch!
