KFC Chicken done the SW way

Gonna try this out tonight. Have everything I need ready to go.

Any suggestions on the best recipe to go with or what tweaks are the best?
 
Would you say the smash or Wholemeal bread version is better?

Looking at making it this weekend and unsure on what recipe to use..

:)
 
Going to try the smash way, sounds amazing!

Syn free KFC style chicken drumsticks made with Smash instant potato instead of bread crumbs:

INGREDIENTS
9 skinless chicken drumsticks, all visible fat removed
1 egg
2 Tsp of chicken Bovril
Frylight
Half a cup of Smash instant potato flakes
1 Tsp of black pepper
1 Maggi cube
0.5-1 Tsp of onion powder
0.5-1 Tsp of garlic powder/salt
0.5-1 Tsp of sweet paprika
0.5-1 Tsp of chilli powder (you can leave this out if you don't want it too hot)

METHOD
Beat the egg and Bovril until well combined

Mix all of the spices into the potato flakes - stir through with a spoon to make sure the spices are distributed evenly.

Dip each (raw) drumstick into the egg until covered. Then place in the bowl with the potato/spice mix. The egg will allow the potato/spice mix to cling to the meat. Repeat until all drumsticks are caked in the potato/spice mix.

Lay the drumsticks on a baking sheet sprayed with Frylight. Spray the chicken as well. Cook until golden brown.

Loved this - didn't taste at all potato-y. The Instant potato acts similar to flour and came out really flavourful. My son had the idea that instead of adding all the spices to the potato, you could perhaps add a ready made spice mix such as the Maggi so Juicy (4-5.5 syns per pack) or the Old El Paso chicken fajita BBQ mix (4.5 syns per pack)
 
going to give this a go soon, but sticking with the breadcrumbs, hopefully it will turn out ok, not going to boil the chicken first either, going to use skinless chicken breasts and cut them into strips, just had a look online and Morrisons do the chicken bovril luckily lol
