About Spicy chicken patty

A spicy chicken patty is a seasoned chicken-based food item, often found in American fast-food cuisine and inspired by global spicy dishes. It typically consists of ground chicken mixed with spices like paprika, cayenne, and pepper, then shaped into patties and fried or baked. A standard fried chicken patty (100g portion) contains approximately 250-300 calories, 15-20g of protein, and varying amounts of fat depending on preparation methods (10-20g). It may also deliver small amounts of B vitamins (B3, B6) and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. However, sodium content can be high due to seasoning and processing, with values reaching 500-700mg per serving. When prepared with lean chicken breast and moderate seasoning, it can provide a flavorful high-protein option for meals.
