Friday Food: Healthy Southern "Fried" Chicken

It seems counter intuitive but really it's pretty healthy and tastes fantastic.  Start summer off right with some "fried" chicken.  It is really good with homemade sweet potato fries and if you'd like a recipe for those please email us at info@totalathletictherapy.com
