Dreams of fried chicken

Doug Lerner - 16 Nov 2005 00:14 GMT
Today is day 167 of my diet and I have not gone off even one time. And my
weight loss is progressing. And I honestly don't feel TEMPTED to go off my
diet at all.

But for the first time since starting my diet I had a vivid dream of FOOD.
It was a perfect, crispy piece of fried chicken, browned perfectly, with
enough fatty, crispy skin on it to make it mouth-wateringly savory. A waiter
had accidentally put it on my plate.

I was already rationalizing "well, I could allocate 400 calories for this
and have just one"... when I woke up...

It was so real!

I think that fried chicken to me is like "just one drink" to an alcoholic...

Dip chicken pieces in egg white. Dredge in a combo of bread ceumbs and
grated parmesan cheese. Place on parchment paper and spray lightly with
oil. Bake until crisp and brown.

Is there a reason to use egg white rather than the whole egg?

Also - dumb cooking question? If you put paper in an oven won't it burn?

Amost all of the fat and cholesterol in eggs are in the yolk.

Not parchment paper; it is coated with silicone.

I think that all that breading actually detracts from the taste. Doug,
try simply baking the chicken, first 2/3 of the time covered with
foil, and use some sensible spice mix.

Well, I don't mind it, you are right, but skin can be simply removed
after cooking.

This whole thread made me so freaking hungry.   Until I learn to eat
right, and realize what I can eat.......I always look for Grilled
chicken breast on the menu if I eat out.   I think I am going to
overdose on Grilled chicken breast or start clucking with the chickens.

You can make a decent oven fried chicken.  Wash and dry your chicken
pieces.  Dip in heavily seasoned flour (salt, pepper, paprika), if you
want a better flavor dip in egg yolk mixed with 2 T water before you dip
in flour.  Put on a foil lined baking sheet.  Drizzle with the tiniest
bit of butter and bake at 375 for an hour, turning at the half hour.
The taste is great and a lot better for you than the heavily fried
stuff.

I tend to plan my day around some real fried chicken a few times a year. I
really love it, and one or two small pieces eaten slowly with a lot of good
0 point side dishes is very manageable and satisfying. If I had to live
without fried chicken for the rest of my life that would not be acceptable
to me. I don't eat it more because I really prefer to keep my diet low fat,
but those skinless breast strips are not all that many points fried.

There is a restaurant in town called Saizeriya. They have all the calories
on the menu and they have a BAKED meat cutlet plate that is 500 calories for
everything, including some BAKED french fries and vegies.

So if you can allocate 500 calories for a meal - not too bad - you get the
satisfaction of having what feels like fried stuff (actually better, because
it tastes crispy, but isn't oily) and can stay healthy at the same time.

Why do you recommend flour rather than bread crumbs?

Here is a recipe for sort-of fried chicken

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F) and spray a baking sheet with vegetable
spray. Mix 1 cup of crushed cornflakes and 1/4 cup of oat bran in a shallow
dish. In another small mixing bowl combine 2 egg whites, 1/2 cup of flour,
and the seasonings you want. Dip four chicken breast halves one at a time
into the egg batter and then into the cereal mixture and move to prepared
baking sheet. Pour a tablespoon of butter over the chicken and bake about 30
minutes.
Doug Lerner - 17 Nov 2005 11:45 GMT
Sounds good. But I'm just one person and don't "store for later". :)

I might try something like that one time in quarters.

Thanks.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad new Doug, but according to the author of
the new book 'The Cheater's Diet', the most successful dieters are the
ones that *do* cheat (I forget the author's name, but apparently he is
quite well regarded).   Anyways... I thought you'd find that

Cheat? That's what adulterers do. Diet is about choices and they can be
varied and balanced.

Even after 24 weeks I still don't feel confident enough to have a "day off".

Doug

You are doing the right thing for you right now.  Once you get to goal,
you can play around more with food and taking days off.  Sometimes one
day off leads to a week, month and more. When I first went on WW, I
followed it perfectly, lost steadily and got to goal easily.  Now I am
not as rigid so it has taken longer to get back to goal and
unfortunately temptations make it hard for me to stay there.

Plan one!  Use something like a work Christmas meal out.  Stack a few
exercise points during the week before, and have a food and exercise
plan for the whole week worked out.  While out with the crew (or
whatever), make healthy choices from the menu wherever possible, but
just write 'EVENING OFF PLAN' on your food diary, and enjoy yourself.
It'll do you good morally, even if you stay the same or put a pound or
so on that week.  Make sure that afterwards yoo do go straight back ON
plan, don't over-compensate for the day off, and drink plenty of water
to compensate for over salted foods.

Proving that you CAN take a day off and get right back to it is an
important step forward.

I have an online journal -- Excel spreadsheets logging my intake --
going back to July 8, 2002 :-).

Regarding "cheating":  As I've said before, I take a somewhat
different approach.  For me, there's no such thing as cheating.  There
are days I choose to splurge -- and have been since the beginning --
but I always log what I eat, and I don't do any of the "Oh well, I
cheated today, I'll just give up, or eat what I want until January."
or whatever.  I just go back to my normal pattern the next day.  Works
for me.  (Actually, the one exception to my online logging was a 9-day
trip to Germany about 4 months into the diet, for a 5-day wine course
plus a few days on either side doing other traveling.  I drank a whole
lot of wine and ate moderate amounts but all sorts of foods, including
desserts, sausages, etc, and it was just too impossible to log.  I
came home 2 pounds heavier, but was down 5 pounds within a week.  And
even that early in my diet I didn't let it derail me at all.)

DH and I are going to a favorite country inn for Thanksgiving dinner.
I'll eat what I want, but won't have leftovers at home to deal with.
Then Saturday we're going out to another fancy restaurant, where I'll
also eat what I want.  But I expect to eat moderately all the other
days this week.

While I find this statement to be interesting, it has been counter to
my own experience. I will check that book out to see if there is a
summary available.

Huh. This works just like Weight Watchers works for me. The Doc just has
people using their flex points all in two days of the week as opposed to
whenever they want to use them. It is the way I have been doing it for a
long time.

  I can definitely relate.  My love of fried chicken is one of the main
reasons I got as fat as I did.  I knew I needed to change my life.  I
knew I unhappy and needed to do something about it.  But the thought of
just giving up (pretty much) my beloved fried chicken was one of the the
major stumbling blocks I had to overcome.  It was just simply tough for
me to contemplate drastically cutting down my intake of my favorite
food.

  I'm at the point now where I can see that it was worth it.  But it's
been a long journey to this point.

Ooh. You're doing really well, Annie. You are well into two digits in kilos
(I can't wait!) and about to get into the 100s! Great!

  Thanks Doug.  It still doesn't seem real to me that I might be in the
100's sometime in the forseeable future.  But I know it will happen!  I
know you'll get to those single digits in kilos as well.

Well, double digits at least. Even my DOG is not in *single* digits. :)

  Opps!  That was a pretty glaring error on my part.  I suspect that
one my cats isn't in single digits in kilos as well.  Very well, double
digits for you!

Chicken Fuggeddaboudit

Using boneless, skinless chicken thighs:

In a nonstick pan, spray cooking spray.
Sprinkle the pan with season salt (or blend of celery salt, paprika, garlic
and onion powder)
Heat pan
Drop in chicken thighs. Spray the tops of thighs with spray, sprinkle tops
of thighs with seasoning
Cook on highish heat until brown on one side.
Flip.
Turn heat down.
Add some chicken broth and cover the pan. (just enough chicken broth to
cover the bottom of the pan, not deep.)
Forget about it (hence the title) for a while, then when the chicken is done
through, if there's any liquid left, open the lid until it reduces and turns
brown.

Very high in flavor and crunchy bits.

If you want more crunch, pay closer attention and cook with the lid off and
a spoonful of broth at a time, just enough to keep the pan from overheating.

Sounds good. Can this be made without the spray cooking spray, which is not
available here?

Do you have an oil sprayer for olive oil?  I would think you could use
vegetable oil in it and get the same effect as the regular  cooking spray.
The sprayers are a good way to cut down on the oil used in cooking.

There is also something in the propellant that can stain non-stick
cooking surfaces.  Oil sprayers are available on-line.  One of many
links below.

I had the Misto and it sucked.  I use one from the Pampered Chef and it's
been fantastic.  It even comes with an extra nozzle in case of clogging and
mine hasn't clogged in over a year so far.  If you can't get it online,
contact me privately and I can get you whatever you need.  I'm not a
consultant but I know a few.

The more you can cook for yourself, the better off you'll be because you
can then make food the way you want it.

It always tastes so much better when somebody else cooks for me though. :)
