Fried chicken

I think part of the issue is to much too soon. I am not from the camp that you can never eat fried chicken or anything bad for you ever again. However, you are barely 2 months out from a major surgery and having to learn a new way to eat is the most important part right now. I was just allowed to eat solid foods at 8 weeks and I kept things pretty bland for a good 2 months after reintroducing foods. At this point I would stick with grilled, boiled or baked meats. Try them and if they don't work, retire them and visit them again later. For me Chicken didn't sit well early on. I had much better luck with beef so I ate a lot of ground beef and turkey and would try chicken and pork every so often to see if I could tolerate.

I will admit, I've had some things I probably shouldn't have but I also waited to be a further out from surgery and I made a conscious decision to do so. If I knew I was going to have a bite or two of cake on my son's birthday, I made sure my other meals reflected that and were healthy and Protein based. I've had fried chicken on a salad a few times but it's not something I eat a lot. Also watch those portion, that is a HUGE piece of chicken, especially knowing it usually makes you sick. I would maybe try something like tuna or some other fish, maybe a slow roasted beef or a chili. You have your whole life to taste fried chicken again, I would hold off until you are close to at goal and remember if it's a trigger, don't eat it.
