Southern Style Baked Chicken

This is a similar taste to KFC

12 chicken drumsticks- you can use 1 kg of chicken thigh fillets if you prefer.
1 tsp dried basil

1tsp dried ground sage

1 tsp chinese 5 spice

1 tsp ground white pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp paprika 

1 tbsp onion salt

1/3 cup of tapioca flour- you can leave this out and just use the spices if you prefer.

Method

Put the spices and flour in a bag, mix and then throw in your chicken and shake to coat the chicken. lightly spray with olive oil to coat the chicken. Place on a rack and bake for 1 hour at 180c. If you are using thighs it takes about 30 minutes. 

 

 1 tsp chinese 5 spice
1 tbsp onion salt
1 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Mix altogether, set aside 2 tsp of the mix for later. Rub spice mix on fleshy side of 800g pork belly. Score as shown, put 1 tab oil and 1 tab salt on the skin, cook on a tray skin side up, then cook at 230 degrees for 20-30 mins, then turn down to 180 for another hour. If the crackle isnt crackly enough turn the oven up to 230 for another few minutes till crackly.
Serve with your choice of raost veg, I used pumpkin, broccoli turnips. Chop the tops off the turnips and use the greens as well. Chop up the turnip greens and sautee quickly with 2 truss tomatoes, roughly chopped and the 2 tsp of the spice mix, 1 clove crushed garlic and olive oil, finish with a squeeze of lemon.
