Low-Fat Frying
Love fried foods but not the calories and fat? Change to oven-fried! Dip pieces of poultry or meat into low-fat or fat-free liquids such as buttermilk, yogurt or skim milk. Roll in a crunchy coating such as corn flakes or low-fat cracker crumbs. Place in a pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 425° until done.
