... because despite being "white meat", they have a lot of fat. That's not a bad thing, really, but you do have to be aware of it.

If you are watching carbs, the extra-crispy coating is very high in carbs, but the original recipe is actually not too bad. I mean, I love the extra-crispy, but no the glucose spike!

Remember that carbs stimulate a massive insulin response. And even if you are not diabetic, insulin inhibits lipolysis (fat metabolism).

Calories matter, of course, but not all calories are the same.
