Cutting The Carbs On Your Favorite Foods

(NAPSA) - For those who like to have their fried chicken and control their carbohydrates too, here's a recipe that's perfect for picnics, parties or fine dinners at home.

This recipe for crispy buttermilk fried chicken contains only six grams of carbohydrates per serving.

The recipe starts by marinating the chicken. "Don't skip this step," said Stephanie Nathanson, food editor for Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. "Marinating the chicken is what makes it tender. If you like your fried chicken a little spicy, add a good pinch of cayenne pepper or Creole seasoning to the bake mix."

The recipe uses Atkins(tm) Bake Mix, which makes a terrific flour substitute in carb-conscious recipes. Nutrient-rich, wheat and gluten-free, it offers a healthy alternative to high-carb baking.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 fryer chicken (3 pounds, cut into 8 pieces)
• 1 cup Atkins(tm) Bake Mix
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Vegetable oil for frying
