  • You can swap the chicken for turkey or any other meat you like, but keep in mind the cooking time and calorie count will change.
  • Mayonnaise is better homemade — tastier and better for you. There are some good homemade mayo recipes worth trying. You can also dress this with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise, on their own or mixed with mayo in whatever ratio you like, which cuts the calories.
  • Use a high-smoke-point oil for frying! Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and form harmful compounds, including carcinogens. Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoke point: they're full of unfiltered organic particles that scorch quickly. Refined oils handle heat better and have a higher smoke point. If you're cooking in the oven, in a skillet, or on the grill, make sure to use a high-smoke-point oil. The most common ones are refined sunflower, olive, and grapeseed oil.
