KFC Coating ...... revisited

[judydawn]

I will have to have a fiddle with it too Julie, I admire your knowledge of the computer.  Thanks for the info 

[Amy :-)]

My first time making this. It worked pretty well, but I found a lot of my coating fell off

Really good recipe though, very flavoursome Thanks Chookie

I meant to comment during the week chookie made this for dinner using the sample from you,  DH loved it, had trouble with the coating falling off some pieces, the chicken breast were so tender, will be making this again.

Finally trying to make this, regarding the spice mix are things like the Cardamons, cloves and such whole or the ground versions?

1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon cardamom
1/2 tablespoon cloves

 Tarasis,  I use whole spices when I can,  as they have more Flavour.

Thanks Chookie.

Made it today, with some whole spices (cloves) and it worked well. Though some pieces were overcooked as pan got too hot (may try oven next time). First batch of 4 had a perfect colour. Son looked at them and asked if it was KFC chicken

That said, neither DS or DD actually tried the chicken. No idea why not, instead they scoffed down the sesame buns. I made a Honey & Mustard dip to go on the chicken.

Me I loved it, and it does leave a lingering tingle in the mouth similar to our KFC though a touch "hotter".

Tarasis,  kids are funny little things!!!  My GC are very fussy about what they eat.  They will all scoff down my bread,  one will eat boiled eggs, another fried rice, another makes scrambles eggs for breakfast,  but all will eat the largest pile of my KFC.  I don't make the full strength recipe for them.

I made this for dinner tonight with free range chicken chops on the bone. I sprayed them with oil  and cooked on the BBQ. They were delicious, but the spice mix was a little too spicy for DS. However, DD loved it and asked me to make them again soon.

ES,that looks great.

I made some KFC chicken for dinner last night (minus the cayenne pepper) and it was loved by all.

This is a firm fav of ours and is on the menu for tonight.

I reduce the spice when I cook it for the GC.   Even the very fussy one eats this.

This thread is making me drool... With the cardamom is it the green or black cardamom? Thanks, can't wait to try it this weekend :-) Kfc is our very guilty pleasure but we always feel so bloated and uggh after it.

Black.    I made this for the 3 GC this week.  They ate nearly a kilo.  The poor eater ate 14 pieces.  The other 2 ate about 6 pieces each.  The poor eater ate the remaining 7 pieces for lunch the next day,  reheated.   Hope your lot like it.  I reduce the spice for the kids.
