PROS

This Baked BBQ Fried Chicken recipe is a healthier take on traditional fried chicken recipes without sacrificing taste and texture.

The chicken is tender, juicy, and full of flavor thanks to the mesquite seasoning and BBQ sauce.

It’s also easily customizable with various spice blends and sauces to suit different tastes.

CONS

This recipe requires a bit more work than your standard fried chicken recipe.

The coating process may take some time and the chicken needs to be fried before baking.

It’s also a bit high in calories due to the oil used for frying, but can still be enjoyed as an occasional treat as part of a balanced diet.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While fried foods are generally not the healthiest option, baking the chicken after frying cuts down on the amount of oil used.
Chicken is a good source of protein and iron, and the mesquite seasoning blend may add some extra antioxidants.
While BBQ sauce can be high in sugar, using a homemade or low-sugar variety can help make this recipe a bit healthier.
