Copycat KFC Bowl
I know we don’t have the KFC bowl in Middle East, but I saw a viral reel where a person tries this from KFC, and I couldn’t help but make it at home right away! And oh boy was it good?!
It’s like all your favorites in a bowl. You have creamy mashed potatoes that is layered with a semi thick chicken gravy, which is topped off with corn niblets and finally the fried chicken is added which is topped off with cheese of your choice. I used emmental cheese. Though it’s quite rich and indulgent, a small portion wouldn’t be harmful.
Without much ado, let’s get started!
