KFC Coating ...... revisited

[achookwoman]

Ceee, the chilli flakes are dried hot chillies cut into flakes with the seeds.   You could sub.  with chilli powder,  use the about 1/2 quantity or to taste.

Thanks, I will definitely give this recipe a try because my family love the flavour of KFC but not the oil!

[Ceee]

PS they are called chilli flakes here.

Chookie, I am going to include little tubs of the spice mix in my Christmas hamper this year with instructions of where to go from there.

What a brilliant thought Judy.

Great idea JD - may need to find that thread and start it up - not long til xmas now

Judy,  have made this again today,  and tried to follow my own instructions.   They are most confused and i take my hat off to you for working them out.   That said,  I think the mix is great and instructions might say 'add a little extra for Hot and spicy'.

[judydawn]

  That's very funny Chookie.  I must admit I had to read it several times and highlight the bits I needed to follow.  I only used a little bit of dried chilli and could feel the sensation on my lips for hours afterwards so I definitely wouldn't be wanting 'hot and spicy KFC'.

I made this tonight and it was fantastic! I used a packet and a half of chicken pieces - marylands, wing & breast pieces together etc. I didn't notice the pepper flakes in the recipe, so didn't use them! It was fine without them. The only thing I didn't have was nutmeg. I couldn't find it anywhere!!

I didn't have any buttermilk, so used plain yoghurt. Also, there's no need to make a batter, just plonk the coated chicken into the flour mixture.

I use a large baking dish to shallow fry and only had to cook two lots of chicken pieces. They were very much appreciated by DH, DS and a drop in.

Thanks for a great recipe Chookie!!

MJ,  glad you liked it.
JD, I knew you would work your way around it

Chookie, we all had problems starting off writing recipes for the TM - it is fun to look back at our early attempts & wonder how anybody followed our instructions.

Somehow we cope!

This coating is fantastic Chookie - very authentic (aside from the lack of oil and grease ).  My Hubby said to say a huge big thanks!!!

I used chicken breasts (sliced in half to make them nice and thin) and rolled them in natural yoghurt and then straight into the lumpy flour mix.  They were coated beautifully.  I cut some into smaller pieces for the boys (large nugget size), but they were a pain to fry.  Next time I will just stick to large pieces.

10/10 -  YUMMMMMMMY!!!!!

MJ, did you remove the skin from your chicken pieces?

[achookwoman]

I think I need to clarify what the KFC stands for .......Kerrie  (near where we live),  Farmed,  Chicken,  and coating of course .    .  I hope no one thought it was any thing else.

Good one Chookie.  I thought it meant Kick For Chicken coating - it sure adds some flavour.
