New Southern Fried Chicken and BBQ Beans

A recipe to rival that classic KFC takeout. Lighter, cheaper and oh so tasty. Once you've had this, you won't look back at the bucket!

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan. Line a tray with parchment paper and place on the frozen Southern fried chicken drumsticks. Cook for 35-40 minutes, as per the packet instructions.

Step 2

While the chicken is cooking, make the beans. Set a saucepan over medium-low heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the diced red onion and the chopped garlic. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the smoked BBQ seasoning and cayenne pepper (if using) and cook for a further 2 minutes. Now add the drained haricot beans, tomato passata, Worcester sauce, sugar and vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook on a low heat, until reduced by half. Season to taste with salt. Turn off te what once the sauce is thick and the beans sweet and smoky.

Step 3

Place a pan of water onto boil and add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar. Boil the corn for 8 minutes until hot through and tender. Drain and toss in a little olive oil or butter and a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Once the chicken is cooked, reheat the beans (add a splash of water if they have dried out a little) and serve the crispy, succulent Southern Fried chicken with the BBQ beans on the side.
