Twister

When you indulge yourself at restaurants and fast food joints, you often find yourself wondering if you could make the same delicious meal at home, for a fraction of the price.

Much like McDonald’s chicken wraps, the KFC’s twisters are the perfect candidate for homemade adaptation. They are tasty, nutritionally dense, convenient, and relatively easy to make. Furthermore, you will have full control of all the ingredients, so you can make themtaste even better!

Health Benefits

Just like the offering at KFC and McDonald’s, a single twister serving contains enough proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, Vitamins A, Kand C, iron, and other important nutrients to satisfy your body’s nutritional needs for half a day. Therefore, three Twisters are more than enough to fully reach your nutritional goal.

How To Make Twister

1. Cut off fat and skin from your chicken breast then slice the chicken into 1x2 in strips.
2. Get a large bowl and pour water, 1tsp salt,MSG, and mix well. This is to marinade the chicken.
3. Place the chicken inside the marinade and let it sit for about 20 minutes. Make sure to flip the chicken over once to ensure both sides get well marinated.
4. Get another bowl and beat your egg in it.
   1. Pour in the milk along with the remaining salt, MSG, and your other ingredients(flour, pepper, paprika, Mexican chili).
   2. Mix thoroughly.
5. Pre-heat your vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 220 °C.
6. Remove your chicken from the marinade and drain off excess water.
   1. Place about 5-10 strips of the chicken into the mixture of other ingredients and mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
   2. Remove and place the chicken on a plate.
7. Dip the coated strips in your egg and milk mixture then place inside the spiced mixture again.
   1. Continue this process until you are satisfied with the coatingthickness.
8. Fry the strips 5 at a time in hot oil for a couple of minutes and make sure they don’t stick together.
9. Remove and drain the chicken.
10. Heat up each sides of the tortilla, but not to a crisp level. Then place about 3-5 fried strips on the tortilla.
11. Add mayonnaise, tomatoes, pepper, salt, and then lettuce.

Roll your stocked tortillas up and wrap with a foil paper. Gently place each in your Vaya Tyffyn lunchbox and enjoy your twister on the go.
