I heard about a KFC ex-employee who let the cat out of the bag regarding KFC's "secret recipe" for their chicken coating. You'd be right to think that couscous did not make the cut. However, the spice mix mentioned below is indeed part of that magic recipe, and the combination is a wonderful slimming world friendly alternative.

  • 50g chicken pieces
  • 100g plain couscous
  • 1/4 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 tsp onion granules
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 chicken stock cube
  • 1 medium egg
  • Fry light

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200 Degrees | Add the mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and chicken stock cube to the couscous and add enough boiling water to cover | cover with a plate | allow couscous to absorb the water | mix egg into the couscous mixture | Dip chicken pieces into the mixture | Spray a baking tray with frylight | place chicken pieces on tray | Pop into the oven and cook for 25-30 mins

Onion Bhajis - Syn Free

 

Indian is my favourite cuisine, and onion bhajis are quite the drool-fest aren't they? So when I sampled a syn free onion bhaji at class recently I was blown away. I decided that these were going to accompany my slimming world curries every time... Now, these take a bit of prep so I've somewhat given up on that dream, but they are definitely worth rustling up as a party food or when having a "fakeaway" night in.
