Hey guys if you would like to see a KFC fillet burger done in the air fryer along with some strips, check out my channel as i've just uploaded a video on that. Thanks for watching!
@@trevordylan9130 You don't taste the egg, it's only for the dry ingredients to adhere on the chicken skin. Otherwise the dry ingredients will come off with the chicken fat.
A good tip.. Pack the coating on and hold it down on the chicken so it really sticks to the chicken and the egg will absorb the spices better than just lightly coating the chicken.. as an ex chicken cook at KFC.. 7 pats per side.. and don't be afraid to be firm either.
Since we don’t have a KFC in our town we have to travel to near bye Leeds, which means that we only have KFC when I’m coming home from Leeds which is not very often. Thank you for publishing this video, so now I can cook Southern Fried Chicken from home. For that reason, I decided to subscribe
If you are in the UK you can get "Graces Perfect blend - Strong Blend" which is the actual KFC recipe (Irish KFC franchise that had a falling out with Colonel Sanders and refused to stop selling the breading) and in the US "Marion Kay Spices - Chicken Seasoning 99-X"
Favorite chicken when travel to US ; missing it past few years; will try this recipe definitely. If I may, in your recipe list, kindly include the measurements for the spices, for new cooks. thank you
I've been using a short cut. Never eaten KFC so don't know if it's even close. All I use on the chicken and in the flour are equal parts of Old Bay (18 herbs and spices!!) and McCormicks rotisserie chicken seasoning. Tasty.
👏 Well done brother. I applaud you for using a non-aerosol spray on the teflon pan. And rubber coated tongs, as well. However may I suggest that you try the 2 additional secrets to southern fried chicken. 1) Buttermilk (Soak for a min. 1 hour. Overnight is best) Celery salt. Great job.Love your laid back approach.
You have a new subbie 🙋. I liked the way you put all the ingredients on the counter prior to cooking. Now all I have to do is take a pic & go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients. You also have a great voice. Looking forward to seeing more videos 😋
I gave you a thumbs up, a sub and added this to a new Air Fryer recipe playlist I made, as I have an air fryer arriving tomorrow haha. That chicken looks good.
Just made this for dinner. Followed your instructions pretty closely. I found 200 C (390 F) was a bit too hot . The breading got a little darker than I would have thought perfect. It was still very good. and the whole chicken cost 5 bucks. So, good deal. But, boy, it was a messy kitchen when I was done. Thank you for posting this.
390° f is recommended, but I noticed cooking it at 360°f for 25 minutes helps it to not get overly brown, but cooks it all the way through to the bone. I've also used 380° f for around 20 minutes and it seems to do the job. I think 390 or 400 tends to overcook the chicken on the outside. I guess it all depends on what air fryer you're using. Experiment with the temperatures and times to get it perfect for your air fryer.
Well done! Will try it tonight Your soothing voice helped me watch the entire video and so glad I did! Sometimes I hear an awful squeaky voice and hit the stop button haha THANKS!!
So many comments on the authenticity of your recipe here,all I can say is I personally don't think KFC is as good as it was so I'm definitely going to try this! Many thanks it looked lush!!!👍
Glad to have this video pop up! Looks amazing. I've been looking for a recipe like this since I bought my air fryer months ago. Thanks for sharing and now time to subscribe 😊
Cooking this version again tonight lol the hubby loves it, I did sub salt for garlic salt, and whacked a few chilli flakes it tonight, see how that turns out, thankies
Hi there I will be trying this. I did KFC the other day and it was terrible 😫 it went in the bin so hopefully yours KFC will be fantastic thanks for the video
My American ways had me stuck on the pronunciation of oregano, but Italians say it best! I will relax now! It would be good to season the chicken first as well as the coating. Isn't it a bit dangerous to put so much oil in the Air Fryer? Thanks for sharing!
Looks great and subscribed - This was one of the first things i tried in the air fryer and was surprised how excellent the results were - very crispy when double dipped and doesn't dry out at all unlike the oven - prefer it to KFC (which doesn't taste how it used to) and is a lot healthier due to little/no oil used and being in control of the salt / other ingredients
We gave this a whirl tonight. Did not go that well as far as the KFC flavor. The flavor was sort of there....... maybe. It was our first go at chicken in the air fryer. It was very tasty. Next time I will use the tray at the bottom of the Ninja so the chicken isn't sitting in the oil. I am also going to double and triple the seasonings placed in the flour.
Thanks mate, now I'm f-ing famished! I will try it your way, because it looked like a great result. I'm new to airfryers but I'm obsessed with making good fried chicken. KFC is too expensive for me.
@@hamie63_m hi there. I definately did try it but i made a mistake with the spices🥴. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and it really needs celery salt too...no normal salt as well tho. The chicken turned out great but without the salt to bring the best out of the other herbs n spices, wasnt kfc...just nice airfryed chicken pieces. You gota tey it tho, remember to add oil when needed, an double dip bits in egg, i forgot an dipped once, good luk. Its pretty straight forward...experiment abit. Check out other utube vids toi. Kfc chick rocks!...especially with airfryer
I recently purchased a Ninja air fryer and am looking forward to christening it using this recipe. Good fried chicken is clearly one of my favorite foods. Nice video! Ty
@@sonyaforeman7844 Hey- Easy to use and clean. A bit small so for some dishes so you might need to cook in two batches. I also used a “paper protector basket insert” for easier clean up. Not a good addition.
I will definitely try this recipe. I like the presentation of your recipe. Keep on mking such beautiful recipe. I will definitely watch your video. .✅ Wishing you success from #mauryankitchen team ❤️ INDIA
Yeah for sure. I recorded a new video making a fillet burger using a similar recipe and i had left overs to make strips. The video should be coming soon once I get round to editing it :) Subscribe to be notified of it. Thanks for watching.
Just got one of the Ninja Foodi 2 basket air fryers, and I can't wait to try this! Boneless breast meat done like that for a chicken sandwich would be off the chain...so awesome! New sub!
I see spices from Sainsbury :), today I'm making KA(ir)F(ryer)C for the first time, with the difference that the meat was in buttermilk from yesterday. We'll see how similar the taste will be to KFC :)
So easy and looks delicious. All of the spices used are on hand so will try your version with oil. I love your measuring technique! Ballpark measurements are my favorite.
Being a new Air Fryer guy i couldn’t help not you took the bottom drip grate out and poured oil directly into the bottom… is this safe for all air fryer’s?
Paprika and oregano will create a decent fried chicken + black pepper but the full list will be much closer. You'll have to use equivalent quantities though. As for egg replacement, the best I've found is to make a cornflour batter, take a look at my chicken parm video i think its in that or possibly the tenders one.
Going to give this a go, tried a similar recipe in the Halogen over so will see how this comes out in the olde Air fryer. Handy as have all the ingredients, unfortunately Onion and garlic powder has solidified so will have to pick some up. ;o)
Thanks for sharing the tutorial. Just tried it and it was delicious ❤. I’m not sure what spray oil you use but be careful if it is the frylight/ 1 cal sprays as that destroyed the inside of my ninja airfryer over time. I now just use oil in an empty spray bottle
Victoria, yeah I use Frylight. Which one have you been using that caused a problem? I use the sunflower oil one. Haven't noticed any major issues yet. The base of the tray has deteriorated slightly, but I put that down to me burning something in it earlier in the year and letting it dry solid before attempting to clean it 😄 and needing to give it a good scrub. Did you put the regular oil in the frylight spray bottle? Thanks for the comment.
@@letscookwithleigh It was the fry light sunflower oil spray. For the first 8 months or so it was fine but after that the material started deteriorating and when I looked up why that could be online quite a few people had reported the same issue after using the fry light. I bought a couple of empty cooking spray bottle from wilko’s and put regular sunflower oil in one and garlic oil in another and just use those now instead and have had no issues so far.

Your herbs and spices are perfect, I use pork rindd for the crust, trying to keep carbs down, but it was so so good!
I would like to see some strips but I don't think UA-cam is appropriate for that, try onlyfans or jerkmate.
why use egg? I don't think I would like the taste w/egg. We just use flour and seasoning
@@trevordylan9130

i hate old bay. salty. KFC doesn't taste like that just so you know. I used to work for them now im in the Deli of another place where i cook chicken
made this today mate, absolutely phenomenal, big thumbs up
Nice one! 👍

Defo not the same I had it a couple weeks ago for the first time in years. It used to have a more crunchy crumbley coating. Not so good at all.
sometimes you need to forget healthy so that you can get a great taste, another fantastic recipe thankyou
Made this last night. Was an instant hit! Delicious. Thank you.
I just made it and….WOW!!!….delicious!! The only thing you missed was how much flour you’re starting with. 1 cup? 2cups? Thanks mate and cheers.👍🏾
Thanks for the recipe… it looks so easy to follow the instructions and looks delicious. I’ll try this tonight
That's a Great and tasty looking recipe!
Glad to have this video pop up! Looks amazing. I've been looking for a recipe like this since I bought my air fryer months ago. Thanks for sharing and now time to subscribe 😊
Just got an air-fryer as a house warming gift. I am really impressed with the many results.
Absolutely gonna try this!!!!!! Big thank you👌
Hope you enjoy
Pie plates are excellent for breading. (one for wet and one for dry).
Cooking this version again tonight lol the hubby loves it, I did sub salt for garlic salt, and whacked a few chilli flakes it tonight, see how that turns out, thankies
Sounds great!
Well done, I am trying that right now.
That looks so yummy and delicious! The way you prepared is so easy..👍Thanks for sharing . ❤keep going ❤💕Stay Blessed and stay connected.!😍
Bl**dy amazing Leigh and yes I would have been the same with my vocabulary as you looool
Apparently "Celery Salt" is one of the ingredients in the secret recipe. Adds another dimension to the flavour.
Thanks for the tip!
that is a good kfc video. i tried it and its the best,
Hi there I will be trying this. I did KFC the other day and it was terrible 😫 it went in the bin so hopefully yours KFC will be fantastic thanks for the video

Thankyou so much, always wondered how to make KFC tasting chicken, Looks amazing, definitely going to try this.....
I made this recipe; you got the herbs and spices right on the money my friend!! Thank you again, I'm about to make it again. So good!! excellent job!
Nice one Chris!

You can use buttermilk (1cup whole milk and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar) instead of egg for those who are allergic to egg
I love the way you are enjoying your own cooking. You have good cooking skills. Thank you for helping us. 😁

I use crushed cornflakes in my mix. Absolutely delicious
I'm a newbie with the airfryer..always looking for new recipes 😋 subbed 👍
Love this video! I'm going Asda right now to buy some chicken! Thank you Leigh!
Yup. But is it centigrade or farenheit? I have already figured it out! Would have been nice
Thank you and keep enjoying life and have a bless day from Connecticut

Thanks for subbing!
You smashed it mate

Hello Arnie Silverberg, let me know how you like your Ninja air fryer. I'm thinking about purchasing one.
@@sonyaforeman7844 Hey- Easy to use and clean. A bit small so for some dishes so you might need to cook in two batches. I also used a “paper protector basket insert” for easier clean up. Not a good addition.
Popeyes! It's luziana fast! Looks great and gonna try this with my newbie Fryer....
It is so easy quick and cheap. I like the green herbs used
That’s 3 of your 5 a day 👍
@@BasherBrookes oh of course!
You mention the temp once. Something about 200?? Possibly Celsius. Seems a bit hot to me.
Love KFC but there isn't one where I live so I must give this a go. Thanks for the tips
It Looks like there is no basket in your air fryer...was wondering did you take it out for this chicken???
Good job mate
Thank you, Looks delicious
I will definitely try this recipe. I like the presentation of your recipe. Keep on mking such beautiful recipe. I will definitely watch your video. .✅ Wishing you success from #mauryankitchen team ❤️ INDIA
looks yummy!!!
Could you use strips of chicken,it looks absolutely delicious,I really have to try it,thank you for an awesome recipe,x
Yeah for sure. I recorded a new video making a fillet burger using a similar recipe and i had left overs to make strips. The video should be coming soon once I get round to editing it :) Subscribe to be notified of it. Thanks for watching.
Hi, Let's Cook, try using a paper bag or put it in a zip lock bag. Shack it and see how the flower coats the chicken.
This seems like a great idea. Gonna try this ASAP!
Which air fryer can heat more tha 200 degrees Celsius- o am using Germanica it’s max heat is 200 degrees Celsius
Instead of using mustard powder would it work similarly if I put mustard in with the egg?
Wow that looks delicious ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😋
will definitely try this
Excellent video! New subscriber 💙
Awesome! Thank you!
thank you - I'm going to try this today but with wings
Looks great, will be giving this ago. Might not want to be advising washing chicken on an instructional video though, easiest way to spead bacteria.
Just got one of the Ninja Foodi 2 basket air fryers, and I can't wait to try this! Boneless breast meat done like that for a chicken sandwich would be off the chain...so awesome! New sub!

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
So easy and looks delicious. All of the spices used are on hand so will try your version with oil. I love your measuring technique! Ballpark measurements are my favorite.
Looks Delish✨
Looks great, good idea not using basket, have you tried buttermilk marinade and MSG in coating?
Being a new Air Fryer guy i couldn’t help not you took the bottom drip grate out and poured oil directly into the bottom… is this safe for all air fryer’s?
Thanks Leigh. Just subscribed. Cheers
You need to use buttermilk instead of egg. Let the chicken pieces marinate in the buttermilk to tenderise then put the meat then into the flour mix.
Wow - Thank You
Add a teaspoon of celery salt...chef's kiss 💋
Excellent, easy looking Leigh. I've seen others marinading in buttermilk overnight. Is it worth doing?
It is best to coat the chicken in buttermilk either 30 minutes before you coat it in the seasoned flour or overnight to make it more tender
Will the oregano and paprika be enough? Just don't want to buy all the spices
And I can't get eggs right now.. what else can I use?
Paprika and oregano will create a decent fried chicken + black pepper but the full list will be much closer. You'll have to use equivalent quantities though. As for egg replacement, the best I've found is to make a cornflour batter, take a look at my chicken parm video i think its in that or possibly the tenders one.
Brilliant! Now how do we make that gravy to top it off:)
Looks great 😋😋
Thank you 😋
Looks really tasty, everyone seems to use some sort of flour, isn’t this where the crisping comes from?
