    chicken - just like KFC!

    I had a breakthrough last night! I roasted some chiken thighs and before i put them in the oven i sprinkled them with olive oil, salt, pepper and then added some ground cumin and ground corriander. Slightly less cumin than corriander - enough to coat them nicely.

    As they roasted they smelled just like KFC!!!

    After about 50 mins (i cooked 8 of them..lol) they were crispy and juicy and delicious and they really did taste like KFC...amazing..

    I urge you to try it..

    we had them with cauliflower and broccoli gratin - so it was all induction friendly and amazingly tasty!!!

          200..then for the last 10 mins or so i turned it right up to crisp up! it was lush...

          OOOH i want some more now!!

          I think i'll do drumsitcks next time cos the thighs (although theyre seriously juicy) have sooo much extra skin on them...the drumsticks would prob crisp up better.

            I am trying this with a whole roast chicken! I have smeared with butter, then added your spices and olive oil and stuffed it with half a lemon and a shallot. I'll let you know how it turns out! I will defo make the thighs like you've suggested too. Thanks for sharing. x

              Note to self: add cumin and coriander to grocery list.

              Sounds yummy! I miss KFC.

                  this sounds great, thanks for sharing. could you give me a rough estimate how much cumin and coriander you used? i mean was it roughly a tablespoon or teaspoon? im not good at just throwing things in lol

                    Thank you so much for posting this! I have never in my life owned cumin or coriander before today. You are right, this does taste like KFC.

                        Re: chicken - just like KFC!

                        I tried this recipe tonight. Although I didn't really think it smelled like KFC when roasting or tasted like KFC when eating it...it was VERY good and I would make it again. Its a nice switch from my usually spiced chicken.

                        Now this is just my humble opinion...perhaps I have forgotten what KFC tastes like...

                        P.S. Cumin is unbelievably expensive...sheesh!

                          i got my partner to make this for me last week and it was nice, i agree it wasnt 100% like kfc but it did taste lovely and im planning to make it again tonight. i love chicken anyway but it makes a nice change from how i normally cook it. thanks for sharing!!
