SW Smash Cripsy/Breaded Chicken

[Curly.Locks]

Celery salt is the key to a good spice mix for chicken. It's basically the ingredient that makes southern fried chicken so good. That, black pepper and smoked paprika make a lovely spice mix.

Ooh, I do like the sound of that! I've only recently discovered smoked paprika and have started adding it to things to give them some depth. I used it in my meatballs recently and I think it added something to it without it being a dominant flavour profile.


I think peri peri chillies would work wonderfully with this, although, personally, I would be tempted to pan fry this with some fry light to get some colour on to it, and perhaps retain some moisture. I am not hugely confident about oven cooking chicken as I can never tell when it's done and I always end up overlooking it!

It depends what you are doing, the breasts i did for 50 minutes and they were slightly over, the strips i did for 30 and they were a lot over lol. Just cut one in half, if its pink you know you messed up lol.

I do like smoked paprika and on meatballs - now that is a good idea!

Smoked paprika is amazing in a chilli. We use it as part of a rub for chicken too (i.e. just chicken breast pieces, not breaded), with celery salt, oregano, Franks hot sauce, lazy garlic, salt & black pepper.

Definitely try it in chilli, gives it this aged smoky taste. We've just made a huge pot of chilli and got 6 meals (12 portions) out of it ready to freeze
