Questions about KFC extra crispy fried chicken breast
How big is a serving of extra crispy fried chicken breast?
A typical breast portion with the skin weighs about 212 g; removing the bone and skin leaves around 121 g of meat. The coating and skin add much of the crispness, so the edible portion is smaller than the piece looks.
How do you reheat extra crispy fried chicken breast without making the coating soggy?
Put it on a wire rack in an oven preheated to 180 °C for about 15–20 minutes, turning it once. Heat until the centre reaches 75 °C; avoid the microwave if you want to keep the coating crisp.
How should you store leftover fried chicken breast?
Refrigerate it within two hours of serving, in a covered container, and eat it within three to four days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until the centre is steaming hot.
What goes well with extra crispy fried chicken breast?
Serve it with coleslaw, corn on the cob or potato wedges to balance the crunchy coating. It also works in a sandwich with lettuce and pickles, or alongside a fresh salad.
Is extra crispy chicken breast higher in energy than KFC Original Recipe chicken breast?
Yes: extra crispy chicken breast has 268 kcal per 100 g, compared with 231 kcal in Original Recipe breast. The extra-crispy version also has more fat per 100 g: 17 g against 13.1 g.
Is extra crispy chicken breast leaner than an extra crispy thigh?
Yes. Per 100 g, the breast has 17 g of fat and 268 kcal, while the extra crispy thigh has 22.1 g of fat and 309 kcal.
Can you eat the coating and skin, or remove them?
Both are edible, and you can peel them off if you prefer the meat without the crunchy coating. The skin and breading on their own are more energy-dense than the breast meat: they contain 464 kcal per 100 g.
