| Serves 4 Extra Easy – 1 HEa and 1 syn per serving
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.
