Healthy fast food: Fried chicken chainsAlthough certain chains have been advertising “no trans fats” in their food, the fact is that fried chicken can pack quite a fattening punch. According to the restaurant’s nutrition info, just a single Extra Crispy Chicken breast at KFC has a whopping 440 calories, 27 grams of fat, and 970 mg of sodium.

However, you can still enjoy an occasional meal  from fast food chicken restaurants by making smart choices.
