This is my first attempt at a diet KFC meal. I will admit, this still needs some work, but it's still pretty tasty and roughly the equivalent of a streetwise two with an extra piece of chicken. Granted, KFC has a batter; this makes use of a crumbed mix, not quite the same, certainly not the Colonel’s 11 herbs and spices, but it beats whatever your girlfriend is eating!
Ingredients:
2 x Chicken Leg
1 x Chicken Thigh
30g x Southern Fried Chicken crumb mix
1 x Egg
90g Frozen McCain Oven Bake Chips
Coke Zero (optional)
Preparation:
Remove the skin and excess fat from the chicken pieces. Yes, I know... it sucks, but we have to in order to make this work. Beat the egg into a nice egg wash. Dip each chicken piece into the egg wash and roll in the crumb mix. Preheat the oven to 180C. Place the chicken on a baking tray and bake for 15 min before turning over and backing on the other side for another 15 min. Weigh out the chips and also bake alongside the chicken. Dish up and serve with some Coke Zero (to give it that KFC feeling)

Nice recipe but if youre paying for the eggs and the breadcrumbs, why not double dip them. egg, crumbs, more egg, then more crumbs.
ReplyDeleteAlso those chips look like a very sad portion of chips. try find the weighless frozen chips, theyre pretty cool and i am sure a lot less calories so you can have a decent portion
@Grey Man - Actually, cause I didn't think of it! I like the double dipping Idea. I didn't use weighless chips, simply because I bought them before and they really weren't nice, I can't quite explain it but they were... mushy. Might have just been the place I bought them from though.
ReplyDeleteFact is most oven chips are soaked in oil. wouldnt a normal potatoe cut into wedges and drizzled with some olive oil and sea salt be better?
