KFC on a slimming diet? YES PLEASE! There’s no need to deny yourself the succulent chicken, crispy coating and not-so-secret spice mix anymore, with our delicious KFC Fakeaway. This is a real crowd pleaser of a recipe: mild enough that the kids won’t think it’s too spicy, yet savoury and full of flavour for an ideal for a fakeaway Friday. You could even enjoy KFC Fakeaway for a lunchtime treat alongside a crisp, fresh salad.

It will even work out cheaper than a weekly takeaway as there will be plenty of spice mix left over. Simply pop it in an airtight container for next time.

Do you need any special ingredients to make this KFC Fakeaway?

Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb traditionally used as a coating for deep-fried foods, and is made from bread without crusts. It’s lower in calories than regular breadcrumbs, and it’s a bigger crumb so it goes further. There are also many other things you could use such as Smash, crushed Rice Krispies, a breadcrumbed wholemeal roll, couscous, quinoa or bulgar wheat.

The values we have provided are using panko breadcrumbs so make sure you adjust the values accordingly.
