KFC Chicken done the SW way

[kaz1]

This sounds awesome!! The other night I did chinese chicken as well by dipping cut up chicken breast in some beaten egg and popping it into a really hot pan with frylight...it was awesome! Almost as good as crispy chicken from the takeaway Serve with SW egg fried rice and sweet and sour sauce!! Woohooo!

Anyone else got some good takeaway style recipes?
I'm a student and I think my housemates dread the days when I cook for them - I'm not sure how much more quorn they can take!

I've just put this in the oven - I toasted 2 slices of Warburtons to make the bread crumbs and added the mixed spice etc but found the mixed spice flavour more like something I would use in a cake so added sea salt and some paprika until it was more spicy.

I spread the raw chicken with Bovril and then dipped in the egg and then the breadcrumbs - will report back - it smells lovely!

 

[newbie09]

is there something else you can use other than bovril paste??

i made this for the first time last week and it was stunning,must say felt kinda eating eat tasted like a real treat.i saved some for the day after and had with salad and it was twice as nice must of had time to mature.hope you enjoy it im sure you will x

 

[Debs154]

gonnabesmall - it was lovely and as you say it a real treat!

newbie09 - not sure if there's anything else you could use really - but if you make the breadcrumbs tasty enough maybe you could leave the bovril out?

wow I have just discovered this site tonight after someone mentioned it in group and the first thread I see is for KFC chicken, i almost want to go to asda and get the ingredients and make it right now(dont think the missus would be too chuffed, she is up at 5 in the morning) got I soooo miss KFC, since sept '09 when I started SW i have not been back there once, will be trying this recipe in the near future.

i dont have a food blender, just a hand blender? do u recon itd work if i lightly toasted and then hand blended or am i wishful thinking?

 

[Littleslimmingbee]

Help me

It is worth a go! Try and break the bread up (after toasting it) and blitzing it in a long tall container, so that it is in a more concentrated mass...

I made this the other night, it was delicious! One tip would be that I tried to get as much of the gloopy chicken bovril on to my chicken before dipping in the breadcrumbs, I wouldn't do this again as the bovril taste was quite overpowering and left a dodgy aftertaste. Next time I will dip and let drip!

I did the same thing. I didn't like it, but I'm sure without so much bovril it would suit me just fine....

Also, Fern Xx - I never used "real" breaded crumbs. I have found Dr Oetkers Wholemeal Breadcrumbs. Now, I could'nt find the syn value on the SW website, but I figured your 57g bread allowance for 1HEB. Paxo Golden Breadcrumbs is 5 syns, per 28g x 2 = 56g which is 10 syns. But I gauged (probably incorrectly) that seeing as Dr Oetker was Wholemeal breadcrumbs and not as bad as Paxo, I could half the syn value and then use my HEB allowance. So for me, 6 portions, was around 5 syns. I am probably way out, but I justified it by not having any other syns during the day and no HEBs. Anyhow, the way I see it is its 100% better than having proper KFC. It is delicious, but not a "once a week" dish as its fiddly, so every now and then its fine. Let me know how you get on.

I made breadcrumbs in my hand blender last week and it worked a treat i didn't toast first.

 

[*angie*]

whilst a bit messy, you can make breadcrumbs using either dried out bread, or toasted bread and a coarse cheese grater.

I made mine by toasting 2 slices of Warburtons and then crushing them with a rolling pin in a freezer bag - it was really easy!
