If you love KFC chicken, but don’t want to eat it due to the incredibly high-fat content, not to mention all the harmful additives and preservatives, then we have the recipe for you!  This oven fried chicken is the perfect replacement, we think it is even better!

One batch of this seasoning makes quite a lot, so store any leftovers in an airtight container until you want it next time.

We love to serve these in our homemade spinach wraps which you can get find on our website or App.
