![]() ![]() We cut the meat into 12 large fillets - which was a mistake in hindsight. The first step is to slice the chicken up. So straight off the bat, our ingredients cost £24.70 which, to be fair, doesn’t seem any less eye-watering than a KFC. Two litres of Pura Vegetable Oil from The Food Warehouse came in at £4.50, but can be reused if you’re willing to put the time in to filter it. We opted for a ‘Higher Welfare’ brand - also from M&S - but no doubt it’ll be cheaper elsewhere. The same goes for the chicken which cost £12, coming out at £12.63 per kilo. Our box of six organic free-range eggs cost £2.20 from M&S, but obviously it is entirely up to you to shop around and find out what gets you the best value for money. No need for flour or spices – the Kayeffcee mix does that part for you. The next thing we must do is buy eggs, chicken and oil. “Let it sit for five minutes, let the coating go pasty otherwise it’ll fall off,” Dan advises. As I leave with a 350g bag of the coating - costing £6 - we’re given a firm warning. "I've also actually just sold Salt & Spice, but the business will be staying in Faversham with a lovely young family taking over so no doubt there's an exciting future for the brand."ĭan’s passion is infectious and after smelling the mix I cannot wait to try it. We’ve even sent orders back out to the US and last week it went viral on Facebook and we sold out. “For the last six years, it’s been our top seller. We bought everything we needed from scratch - something you may not have to do “I took it into The Phoenix Tavern in Abbey Street, got great feedback, got creative with the play on words to help not get sued. “This started me on probably a two-month voyage trying to perfect the secret recipe and I literally ate home-cooked KFC for about two weeks, tweaking the ingredients until I knew it was close. ![]() “Not long after launching the Salt & Spice brand I was asked by one of our regular customers ‘Do you do a KFC coating-type blend? I’m not happy going there so wanted to make my own’” said the 49-year-old. His dream was to recreate this Aladdin's cave of colour, aroma and flavours in Faversham and in 2017 he opened his shop with his mum, keen to show locals what they’re missing out on.Īfter a recent Facebook post saw business boom suddenly, I asked how the birth of this particular mix came about. We took the chance to pay the creator of Kayeffcee a visit at his workplace at Standard Quay.ĭan Salter spent a lot of time travelling in the Middle East, sampling flavours at the greatest bazaars and markets of the world. Here’s how a year-after redraft shook out.To help me out - for I cannot cook - I enlisted my friends Adam and Jon to do the heavy stuff while I stood in the background and looked pretty.īoth of them are self-confessed foodies - with Adam in particular a wannabe chicken connoisseur - and fairly decent in a kitchen. It’s great news for Texans and Lions - and less so for the now-dispersed draft hauls of the Jets, Seahawks and Patriots. Let’s take that first round the way it looked before the night-of trades that shaped its outcome and apply some hindsight. If we were re-selecting every player from the 2022 rookie class based on a combination of their NFL performance and their collegiate potential, what would that look like? Who’d climb up the draft board? Who’d be in danger of dropping out of the first round entirely? It’s far too early to declare anyone a bust, but it’s never too soon for a theoretical re-draft. Some vaunted Day 1 picks might not find their NFL gear until 2023, 2024 or later. We also had some high profile picks pepper an inauspicious start with moments of brilliance. Kenny Pickett avoided catastrophe long enough for the Pittsburgh Steelers to win games around him. Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux each looked like the kind of edge rushers who’ll torment opposing tackles for the next decade. Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner took the defense that helped push Cincinnati to a College Football Playoff and immediately became a shutdown cornerback for the New York Jets. It can tell us who’s probably going to be pretty good, however.Ģ022 was the backdrop to some breathtaking rookie campaigns. One year isn’t enough time to reach a verdict on a rising NFL player’s career. ![]()
