It’s no secret that I’m from Texas and my mom is from Memphis so I grew up on KFC fried chicken and mashed potatoes. It’s so funny to think how I used to be able to eat that type of fast food and now I would be so sick! Just because I can’t eat the traditional fried chicken doesn’t mean I don’t want to come up with a healthier and lighter FODMAP chicken recipe. This version is baked but still has the crispiness that I love from fried chicken. I knew I had a hit on my hands when my husband was eating it from the baking sheet instead of on his plate!
If you’re going to be eating “fried” chicken, you want to eat it with some delicious side dishes. Am I right?! Check out these recipes for grilled corn on the cob, potato salad and coleslaw. What do you like to eat with your fried chicken?
