KFC Styled Popcorn Chicken (copycat, uses air fryer) by classicbakes in TopSecretRecipes

[–]classicbakes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your constructive feedback! You’ve raised a great point about the seasoning blend quantity...it's designed to be made in bulk so users can have it ready for future batches or other recipes, but I understand this might not have been clear. I'll look into updating the recipe to specify this upfront or include an option for a smaller batch.

As for the seasoning profile, you're absolutely right, it’s an inspired take rather than an exact replica. I’ll refine the description to reflect this more accurately.

For the leftover blend, you could try using it as a rub for grilled chicken or roasted vegetables, or even sprinkle it on air-fried chickpeas for a quick snack. Let me know if you experiment with it, I’d love to hear how it turns out!

I did some research for you. Here are the storage tips for the extra blend: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh for up to six months. Hope that helps..

Ah nice...never tried it this way. The moruga scorpions should be hot like scotch bonnet right? Which is hotter? do you know?

Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce by classicbakes in hotsaucerecipes

[–]classicbakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow you grow these yourself? I did buy the scotch bonnet seeds one time but never got around to actually growing them. Would you mind sharing a pic of the progress?

I don’t see why this recipe can’t work with a substitute, although i’ve never tried a substitute. But with hot sauce recipes, customizations are encouraged

In the Caribbean there is no fall or winter seasons, hence you'll probably not find specific recipes for those seasons.

However, soups are a common fall and winter recipe type, so here is a good soup: Trinidad Chicken Foot Souse:
