The next trick is ensuring the you spray each piece well with non-stick cooking spray. They key to tricking yourself into thinking that these are fried is the coating on the chicken. Anyone else have a fear of frying or is it only me that is scared of big pots of boiling oil? It also eliminates my “fear of frying” which is similar to my “fear of baking with yeast” but not as intimidating. Since that’s not ever going to happen this chicken is as close to perfection for a cheat treat. BUT…in a perfect world (without worrying about the accumulation of calorie intake), my diet would consist of KFC, HAAGEN DAZ, BURGER KING and anything deep fried and not lightly stir fried. Now as for me, I really watch my diet and anything fried that passes my lips will undoubtably land on my hips. If she had a craving, her wishes were fulfilled and then she would confess her fried chicken crimes to me afterwards. She would drive to the local mall, do a little shopping and then head to the food court for some KFC. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I actually had a “real” piece of fried chicken (AKA KFC style) That used to be my mom’s favourite treat when she was more mobile. So, let’s have a little chat about fried chicken. I know my rational is stupid and this is the part where I try convincing myself that I’m doing the right thing by eating it. What I mean by that is – healthy enough to get the green light on the guilty indulgence of consuming the skin. That lends to me thinking that since these were technically not fried they are healthyish. You can have fat pulkas or skinny pulkas – a leg is a leg. Or for that matter any legs that look like pulkas. What’s a pulka? Not to be confused with a POLKA, which a Polish dance I can actually do.Ī pulka is yiddish term for a chicken leg. A crispy, crunchy irresistible piece of chicken pulka heaven. The second you sink your teeth into one of these chicken pieces you’re basically a done deal. So, what’s my excuse now? I cannot and will not resist this skin. Unlike some of my favourite family members who vie for the skin at the table, I’m a chicken skin opposer. Chicken skin usually grosses me out to a point of no return. Oh, and I have also made an exception to one of my very staunch chicken eating rules. Okay, I know I always say this or that is THE BEST ever but I kid you not….this is THE BEST CHICKEN EVER. In fact, it’s so good I have put it into a regular recipe round up on almost a weekly basis. This is one of the best chicken recipes I have ever made. How did I know this? Well, I went to search for the recipe and guess what? It wasn’t there.duh. I completely forgot to post this recipe on my blog and was 100% certain that I did.
