A FOODIE has unveiled the easy way she makes KFC instead of spending the cash on takeaway.
Harleigh Fairgrieve, otherwise known as @harleighfairgriev on social media, was proud of the finished product, which she explained was dairy, gluten and soy free.
Not one to gate-keep her recipe, she took to her TikTok account to share a step-by-step guide on how to make the fakeaway.
She started off by cutting potatoes up into baton shapes before transferring them onto a tray. The woman then coated the chips in hot duck fat and seasoned them with salt, black pepper and peri peri salt.
As they cooked away in the oven at 180 Celsius for 40 minutes, she got started on the main section of the feast: the chicken.
“Now I’m just prepping my chicken,” Harleigh said as she cut the chicken wing pieces in half.
Placing them into a bowl, she coated them in all purpose, cajun, paprika, cayenne seasoning and black pepper.
“I’m just mixing that in well and then I’m making an egg wash with two beaten eggs, adding that in there and giving it a mix and then adding that into some flour,” she continued as the steps played out.
Harleigh went on: “I’m also seasoning this flour with the same seasoning I did the chicken. And then I just repeated my steps and also added some cornstarch.”
She warned viewers that this method is quite messy and it would be “neater” if they did it one by one, but it would also be “more time-consuming”.
The woman then got started on the gravy by adding a chicken and beef stock cube into a pot before pouring four tablespoons of butter and four tablespoons of flour.
“Give it a mix and then gradually add your stock,” she said.
Meanwhile, she fried her chicken in a large pan, before transferring them onto kitchen paper to “draw out some of the oil”.
Once everything was served up onto plates, she panned the camera across and added in the caption: “kfc night any and all products used were dairy/gluten free alternatives”. [sic]
People were amazed at the KFC fakeaway as one person wrote: “Looks so much better than KFC, bet it tastes better too”.
Another said: “Probably better than the real thing,” as a third shared: “This is INCREDIBLE wow I’m so impressed!! Followed instantly”.
And one person asked: “Does it taste like kfc?” [sic] she replied: “Not so much the chicken, as I just seasoned it however I wanted. But the gravy & chips yes”. [sic]
