KFC Twisters

Ingredients:

CRISPY STRIPS

  1. 500 g skinless chicken breasts
  2. vegetable oil (for deep frying)

MARINADE

  1. 4 cups water
  2. 1 teaspoon salt
  3. 1 teaspoon msg

COATING

  1. 1 egg, beaten
  2. 1 cup milk
  3. 2 cups plain flour
  4. 3 teaspoons salt
  5. 1 teaspoon pepper
  6. 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  7. 1 tablespoon Mexican chili powder
  8. 1 teaspoon msg (isn't really important it just adds extra flavour)

TWISTER

  1. 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  2. 1 tomato, diced
  3. salt, pepper
  4. mayonnaise
  5. 6 tortillas (or chapatis)

Method:

  • Trim any excess skin or fat from the chicken breasts.
  • Slice the chicken breasts into nice size strips (approximately 1/2 inch x 3-4 inches).
  • Combine the water, salt and MSG for the marinade in a large bowl and place chicken in to set for 20 minutes.
  • Turn the strips once while they are marinating.
  • Combine the beaten egg and milk and a bit of pepper in a medium size bowl.
  • In a small plastic bag combine the remaining ingredients (flour, salt, pepper, paprika, Mexican chille and MSG) and shake.
  • At this time you can start to preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 220 deg if you are using a fryer.
  • Leave the chicken for marinating for 20 minutes.
  • Using about ten strips at once, place the chicken in the bag with the flouer and shake the bag until the strips of chicken are coated.
  • Place them on a plate.
  • Once they have been coated with the flour mixture dip them in the egg and milk mixture individualy and them back into the bag for another shake.
  • Be sure to try and get as much coating on each strip.
  • If you wish you can coat them again if you want a thicker coating.
  • Drop the strips, 5-6 at a time into the hot oil.
  • They should only take a couple of minutes depending on how you like your chicken.
  • Be sure to stir when frying so the strips don't stick together.
  • Remove the chicken from the oil and allow them to drain on paper towels/tissues for a couple of minutes.
  • Heat the tortilla bread/chapati in a frying pan on each side until it is nice and warm but not crispy, then remove from the pan.
  • Place about 3-4 (depending on size) krispy strips on the tortilla bread/chapati.
  • Then add the tomato and mayonnaise.
  • Put plenty of pepper and salt on the mayonnaise.
  • Then add the lettuce.
  • Roll up and serve.
