Shake N Bake thingies!

[shellbellgibbo]

Hi all, does anyone know the syn value of the shake n bake things for chicken (the ones that come with a bag you put the chicken in and add the spice, shake and put in the oven)
There are a few different ones but I can't find any of them!

Thank you in advance

Aren't they just an expensive way of buying flour?

For these kind of things you can work out the syns for yourself using 1 syn for 20 calories. Just make sure you use calories for the sachet and not for serving suggestion. . If that makes sense.

Er no, it's herbs and spices which you shake over chicken and cook it in the bag

Had a look at the ingredients on the Colmans website - a couple of examples

Sausage and Herb: Wheat Flour, Potato Starch, Salt, Flavourings (contain Wheat), Tomato Puree Powder (9.9%), Sugar, Yeast Extract, Vegetable Fat, Herbs (2%) (Bay Leaves, Thyme Rosemary), Onion Powder (1.8%), Spices (Garlic, Pepper, Cloves, Nutmeg), Barley Malt Extract, Caramel Syrup, Maltodextrin, Powdered Lemon Juice.

Rustic Chicken: Salt, Potato Starch, Tomato Powder, Onion, Sugar, Potato Flakes, Yeast Extract, Spices (7%) (Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, Cumin, Nutmeg, Pepper, Coriander Seeds, Turmeric, Fennel Seeds, Fenugreek, Cardamom, Mustard Seeds), Flavouring, Herbs (2.5%) (Marjoram, Thyme, Rosemary), Vegetable Oil, Garlic, Lemon Juice, Vegetable Fat, Smoke Flavouring.

It seems that quite a few of them have salt as their largest ingredient, which might be worth thinking about.

At around £1.50 for 33g, sorry but I still think it's an expensive way to buy flour, salt and a few flavourings! But that's just my opinion, and I have never liked things in packets, so feel free to take no notice of me!

I've not tried any of the shake and bakes but the Maggi So Juicy roast in the bags are amazing. So easy and really tasty, and only 4-6 syns depending on the variety which went split between 2-4 of you is not a lot at all.

Thanks for the lists I have just raided my cupboards and wrote the syn value on the packets so I dont forget x

 

[dirtydancing]

good idea. think I might do that on mine too.

 

[daydreamer25]

This is great I have some in the cupboard and was afraid to use them, If you were making this would you count half the syns if you are sharing i.e me and my partner having it for dinner? or do you count the complete packet syns?

 

[dirtydancing]

I would calculate the syns for the whole meal then divide by how many serving it does. for example 5 syns between 2 people is 2.5 syns each.

Thanks, thats what I thought but sometimes I wonder am I reading it wrong
