Which do you prefer? Fried chicken or roast chicken?

I prefer roast chicken because it is healthier than fried chicken. Fried chicken is just too fatty and unhealthy. It tastes great though especially KFC.

I prefer Roast chicken. it's got a better flavour, and it isn't all oily and greasy. also, I have a huge problem with the likes of KFC, and their factory farming methods.

Hi. What do you mean by KFC's farming methods? What is wrong with them? Please educate me on this. I would very much like to know.

As much as I love crisp fried chicken, I just love a juicy roasted chicken with a Teas BBQ rub or a lemon rosemary rub.

I like both roast and fried chicken. Though fried chicken is bad for health and the throat (heatiness), I just can't resist it, especially from KFC.

I guess I'm not invited in this discussion. I'm a pure veggie. When I was about 10 yrs old, I saw the chicken selling guy kill a chicken in front of me. My inner voice(Ya I did have an inner voice then !) told me that it was for me to eat. And my friends from that day onwards, I stopped eating non-veg altogether. Everyone in my family eats and I don't mind them eating either. Its just that it doesn't appeal to me anymore. lol..... Ya and for your discussion, dont remember how either taste... Take care buddy...

I am going to go with fried chicken. Roasted chicken is supremely good and all but I like the taste of fried chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken's chicken is rather good. The taste of fried chicken is especially better whenever the skin is toasted. My mouth is watering just thinking about some chicken!

I feel fried chicken is tastes better than roast chicken.Though I agree it is unhealthy as compared to roast chicken but still I can't help going for the fried one when given a choice between the two as it really tastes great.

I like both.. lol =D Both are equally delicious to and it's really hard to make a choice between them.. hehe ^_^ BUt i think i will go for fried chicken, because it's simple.. Roast chicken needs skills and timing in order for the chicken to taste good.. hehe ^_^ Also, fried chicken is faster and thougl unhealthy, but it's worth the money.. haha

I like Fried Chicken especially Kentucky Fried Chicken. We don't have one of those here anymore so I don't get it very often we have to go out of town if we want it. Roasted chicken would be alot better for you healthwise though but who wants to give up that delicous fried chicken yummy.

I love roast chicken because like you said, it's healthier than fried chicken. Personally, no offense to fried chicken lovers but i think friend chicken is too plain. Roast chicken on the other hand has better aroma and flavor. The herbs adds up to the flavor of the roast chicken. The problem with roast chicken though is we need to check if it's roasted enough but that goes to fried chickens too!

I prefer the roasted chicken to fried chicken because roasted chicken is much less oily than the fried chicken. The taste of roasted chicken is also better as far as my taste buds are concerned. The other way that I enjoy my chicken is steamed. I love eating steamed chicken with steamed rice and served it with some soy sauce, ginger and chili sauce... Yummy! I seldom go to KFC or McD and that's why fried chicken is not high in my food list. Cheers!

I like chicken no matter how it is cooked, but if i am to choose, i prefer roast chicken for the same reason that it is healthier because it is not dipped in oil unlike in fried. Roast chicken usually have more tasty meat compared to fried chicken wherein the taste is only in the breading.

For me, I choose roasted chicken from Kenny Rogers. I really love the taste of their roasted chicken. Now, I'm hungry.
