Kurisumasu ni wa Kentakkii
Or "Kentucky for Christmas"! Started back in 1974 as a marketing campaign in Japan this has been popular ever since, although Christmas Day isn't a holiday in Japan, this hasn't stopped the Japanese celebrating with a KFC. You heard right, a KFC. And the Party Barrel is the one to buy.
As we all know, KFC is a calorie overload, so Japanese food company Yutaka has created the perfect hack that tastes like the real thing but with a quarter of the calories.
1 pkt Yutaka Panko breadcrumbs
2/3 tbsp salt
½ tbsp fresh chopped thyme
½ tbsp dried or fresh basil
1/3 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp celery salt
2 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp dried mustard
4 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp garlic salt
1 tbsp ground ginger
A little oil
6 chicken breasts
Method
Preheat oven to 180C
Combine the breadcrumbs with all the herbs and spices and mix thoroughly.
Put a good amount of the breadcrumbs on a plate and take each chicken breast and press firmly into the breadcrumbs coating well. Place on a baking tray and drizzle with a little oil.
Bake for approximately 25 - 30 mins basting half way through cooking time and cook until crispy and golden brown.
Slice chicken breasts and serve immediately while still crispy.
You probably won't use all the breadcrumbs so any left can be stored in a jar for another time.
