Fried Chicken

Crispy(酥脆的；易碎的) fried chicken is a family favorite,but it is not healthier option for those trying to lower their cholesterol(胆固醇),sodium(钠).and fat intake(摄取量).

So instead of frying (油炸，油煎),marinate the chicken in spiced buttermilk and then bake the pieces in the oven,covered with aluminum(铝) foil(箔),If you prefer a crispier option,dip the pieces in breadcrumbs and bake.
