Fried or Grilled: Picking Your Chicken Dish
The fried plates are the crowd pleasers. Chicken Critters are battered fresh, fried to order and land at 480 calories for the dinner portion, honest numbers for fried chicken. Country Fried Chicken takes the same breast, flattens it, fries it and tops it with made-from-scratch cream gravy for 500 calories.
The grilled plates are quietly the leanest full dinners in the building. Grilled Chicken without BBQ sauce is 220 calories, Herb Crusted is 260, and Smothered Chicken with jack cheese, mushrooms and onions still only reaches 330. Add green beans and steamed broccoli and the whole plate stays under 600 calories.
