When we embark on a healthy eating plan, many of us miss those take away nights, right? Well, really there is no need to deprive ourselves, as it is very easy to recreate low fat versions in your own home.

This is such a great family dish too, as it can be served as a platter for all the family to help themselves too and is great for parties.

My Slimming Eats KFC style feast consists of Slimming Eats KFC Style Chicken, Oven Baked Fries, Baked Beans, Homemade Coleslaw, Syn Free Gravy and Oven Baked Corn on the Cob. I also recommend serving a side salad to go with this, to make sure you get more superfree into your meal.

Slimming Eats KFC Style Feast

Slimming Eats Recipe

Serves 4

Extra Easy – 1 HEa and 1 syn per serving

Slimming Eats KFC style Chicken

In my KFC style chicken recipe I have used buttermilk to marinade overnight, this keeps the chicken lovely and moist and really helps with the flavour. If you are unable to obtain some buttermilk you can use milk as a substitute, but it is definitely worth hunting for the buttermilk.

Ingredients

12 Chicken Drumsticks (all skin and visible fat removed)

1 cup of buttermilk (*see note) (3 syns)

Frylight or Pam spray

4 HEa’s of Whole Wheat bread (blitzed in food processors into breadcrumbs) (4 HEa’s)

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of oregano

2 teaspoons of garlic salt

1 teaspoon of onion powder

1 teaspoon of thyme

1 teaspoon of ground ginger

1 teaspoon of basil

1 teaspoon of celery seed

1 teaspoon of black pepper

1 teaspoon of mustard powder

3 teaspoons of paprika

* the chicken drumsticks are soaked in the buttermilk, so once removed from the bag, you have really only used about 1/2 cup, hence the low syn value)

 

Method

Put chicken drumsticks in  zip lock bag, add the buttermilk, shake to thoroughly coat and place in the refrigerator overnight.

Then when you are reading to make your KFC style feast, you can go to the next step.

Preheat oven to 200c or 400f

Line and large baking tray with some aluminum foil and spray with Frylight or Pam Spray

Add the breadcrumbs to a bowl, along with all the herbs and spices and mix thoroughly

Remove the chicken drumsticks from the bag and discard of the bag and leftover buttermilk.

Add your breadcrumb spice mix to a large dish.

One by one dip each drumstick in the beaten egg and then roll into the breadcrumbs, making sure each drumsticks is thoroughly covered with the breadcrumb mix.

Place the drumsticks onto the aluminum foil lined tray and spray over the top with Frylight or Pam spray.

Bake in the oven for approx 30 mins, until drumsticks are nice and golden.

You will need to turn over half way through cooking.

Slimming Eats Oven Baked Fries

4 large floury type potatoes, peeled

sea salt

This makes up quite a big tub of coleslaw, so approx 8-12 servings (making it about 0.5 syns per serving)
