Dry fried chicken is very healthy. The oil in chicken seeps out and fries itself. Chicken has enough fat and sometimes it's good to just let it cook in its own oil. Adding a little curry, thyme and other spices is not a bad idea but  if you want to enjoy the original flavour of chicken, cook without all those spices.

Enjoy!
