A old school friend came to dinner. Primo was linguine cacio e pepe. Secondo was sous vide chicken breast and a contorno of creamed spinach. Garnishes were onion gravy, salsa verde, and compound butter. Dolci was creme caramel cooked in the microwave, which looked wonky but was a perfect texture. Really pleased to finally figure out how to do creme caramel in the new microwave after the last one broke down.

First attempt at air fryer KFC burned. The house did smell of KFC though. Reasonable re-creation of KFC slaw although my supermarket only had red cabbage. Mash and leftover gravy (not pictured) I pulled out of the freezer. Some salad for the hubby who can't digest raw cabbage.

Chicken satay, rice, cucumber salad with commercial Japanese goma dressing, sauteed spinach. There was satay sauce in the microwave but the marinated chicken didn't really need it.

Was pretty pleased with second attempt at copycat air fried KFC. The copycat slaw is the version I grew up with in Canada. No carrots and more pulverized than the American recipe. I should have used flour to coat the chicken but we had run out so a tablespoon of spice mixture was added to a tablespoon of potato starch and 2 tablespoons corn meal. Hubby made mash and I pulled out some leftover gravy from the freezer. Besides the KFC imitations we had grilled lettuces.
This is the spice mix I used, which tastes a lot like KFC to me. I made a jar for the pantry without the flour and add 1 part spice mixture to 3 parts flour like substance. I did blitz the spice mix in the food processor because I think those black flecks in KFC batter are blitzed dried herbs such as oregano and thyme. The first time I tried this the chicken wasn't as salty as KFC so I added salt to the buttermilk marinade this time which came out perfect. Boneless skinless thigh strips went for 10 minutes at 200C in the air fryer (or oven).

Batch cooked at a friends house to fill up their freezer with meatloaf and gratin dauphinoise. Afterwards, the four of us ate the big portion of dauphinoise and a meatloaf with veggie sides of tomato and basil salad, and microwaved green beans with hollandaise.

🥣 Bowls are the way to go! My version of a delicious chicken quinoa bowl.
Just a few ingredients: chicken (4 oz.), quinoa (1 cup), black beans (1/2 cup), salsa (5 Tbsp.) = 474 calories.
Note to self: Salsa is a handy and tasty staple! Need to remember to keep on hand! More uses than just chips and salsa!5 -

Yeah, the calories on these were pretty sad! The 8" lemon tart cut into 10 pieces came out to 377 calories for a tiny piece, and the chocolate pop tarts were 300 for a 4"x6" piece. So hard to fit in a piece of either of them!2 -

Leftovers for breakfast. Last night attempted copycat KFC in the air fryer with copycat slaw. I used the recipe leaked by the Chicago Tribune but will reduce ginger and paprika next time, I think. My slaw was spot on. Secret ingredient there is a little grated raw onion. I dressed with ranch with added sugar and tarragon vinegar which I prefer over the original that tastes like sweetened mayonaise which is very rich.

I made a jar of the spice mix without the flour and mix a tablespoon of spice mix with a tablespoon of potato starch and 2 tablespoons of unorthodox corn meal which I prefer to the plain flour the recipe calls for. I coat the chicken by shaking in a plastic bag with the dry ingredients, shake n bake style. Pretty close to KFC but I will reduce both ginger and paprika by half next time I make the spice mix. I blitzed the dried herbs such as oregano, basil, thyme in the food processor because I think that is what those little black flecks you see in the batter of real KFC are. The Chicago Tribune recipe is less salty than KFC, so after first attempt I now add salt to the buttermilk marinade to brine the chicken overnight. I did a taste test with a small order of KFC popcorn chicken and the meat was salty all the way through, not only on the surface, so I suspect they salt the marinade too.
Pretty happy with the result. It smells like KFC but tastes a little more gingery and a little less peppery. In one experiment I double dredged as in the KFC extra crispy version, but that was too much. Sticking to single dredge in the future. I air fry the chicken, but baking in a convection oven would work too. I don't bother spraying with oil if using skin on pieces. The one time I tried with skinless boneless thigh strips I sprayed with oil. Be careful about burning the spice mix. The paprika is the culprit (I tested the 11 herbs and spices by popping them onto a muffin tin in the oven). That is my motivation for reducing the paprika next time I put together the spice mix.2 -
Hubby cooked. Dutch macaroni ham and cheese and a salad with ranch.
