KFC style chicken

11 herbs and spices fried chicken

Enough for about 1 kg of chicken

In a small food processor or spice grinder add the following and blitz until a powder forms. Then to the spice mix add 1 cup of flour, I used spelt, but you can use gf flour if you like.

2 tsp rock salt

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp black peppercorns

1 tsp dried tarragon

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried sage

1 tsp onion flakes

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp celery salt

I used tenderloins for this so I didn’t need to cut it up, but you can use slices of chicken breast, make popcorn chicken breast, use chicken thighs cut into 2-3 pieces.

You need something to make the flour stick, you can use a beaten egg. I used a little yoghurt and left for a few hours but you can use it straight away.

All you have to do then is put your spice mix//flour in a bag, add your chicken and shake up. Then fry off in a pan of oil on a low to medium heat for about 4 minutes each side or spray with oil and bake at 200 c for about 20 minutes.

Serve up with mash, gravy and steamed veg or salad
