VFC secret recipe

It's as close as you can get without pressure
cooking your chicken as they do at KFC so it's
a lot healthier......

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1  tbsp celery salt
1  tbsp black pepper
1  tbsp dry mustard
4  tbsp paprika
2  tsp garlic salt
1  tsp ground ginger
1  tsp ground mace

Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl.

Dip chicken pieces in some plain flour then
beaten eggs.
Dip them in breadcrumbs (bought ready-made
from the shop are fine)
Finally plunge them in the flour-spices mixture
(above).

Place chicken in a tray and cover with foil
Cook 40 minutes.
Remove the foil, turn chicken then cook for
another 40 minutes
Baste lightly with oil 5 minutes before the end
(spray cooking oil is good)

Let stand 5 minutes and serve.

Cooking times will obviously depend on
whether you're cooking in on a range or in an
oven, if you know how long chicken pieces take
in your cooker, you're in!
