KFC Value Meal

My kids challenged me to try the KFC. They mentioned that I have tried pasta, pizza, burgers and etc, but I haven't try the KFC. So I wanted to try and found this KFC recipe in my friends Facebook. I used the recipe for KFC chicken but of course I modified it little bit because I could not find some of the ingredients.My kids really love it they said it was better than KFC and it was really finger lickin good. This was way cheaper than the KFC. I bought fresh chicken from market, and the ingredients also was fresh so the taste was really nice. I only spend RM 60 for 21 pcs chicken with side dishes. :)
