Why does fried chicken remain in the stomach longer than broiled chicken?

Fried chicken remains in the stomach longer than broiled chicken due to the higher fat content in fried chicken. The fat in fried chicken slows down the rate at which the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine for digestion. This delay in gastric emptying can lead to a feeling of fullness and prolonged digestion time for fried foods compared to leaner options like broiled chicken.
