Fried Chicken

You may be devastated to see fried chicken on this list but unfortunately, it’s not surprising that it is actually really bad for you. Even though the chicken contains nutrients and protein, this is all totally cancelled out by the fatty oils used in cooking at high-temperatures.

In addition, frying chicken at this high temperature can create cancer causing carcinogens and make people over 40 very much at risk. In a healthy alternative, breaded baked chicken breasts contain much less oil, have healthy fats and a good amount of protein. You also won’t see the effect of the oil on your skin.
