Southern Not Fried Chicken Skinnymixers

Sian has been telling me that I HAVE to write a KFC recipe for years, and because every other person out there has one… I’ve always said no. This Southern Not Fried Chicken is so TASTY!

Recently I ran a poll in Skinnymixers to see which protein was the easiest to get in the supermarkets consistently right now, and lots of people said Chicken Drumsticks or Wings – so I set out to create a simple pantry staple rub to complement these.

Loosely inspired by the KFC recipe on wikipedia, I think that this recipe is so delicious that I have to say…

Sian was right, and I was wrong.

I hope you enjoy my not fried Chicken –

Love Nik xx

Notes

Chubbymixers - If you were wanting to have Fried Chicken....  replace baking powder with 2 cups of white flour and 1 Tbsp salt. Soak in buttermilk for 2 hours, then coat in flour mixture. Opt to either bake, pan-fry or deep fry.
