chicken - just like KFC!

[ski]

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!!!

Ohhhhhhhhh, will definitely try this. Thank you x

Defo try it! I just had some more for lunch with a salad!

[Zarabelle]

What temp did you roast them on?

[ski]

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.
