Copycat KFC Bowls Layered Comfort (Print-Friendly Version)

Creamy mash, crispy chicken, corn, savory gravy and cheddar come together for a fast, hearty comfort bowl.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 4 cups prepared instant mashed potatoes, made with extra butter and milk

→ Toppings

02 - 2 cups frozen popcorn chicken, cooked until crispy

03 - 1.5 cups canned sweetcorn, drained and patted dry

04 - 1.5 cups prepared brown gravy

05 - 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese

# How to Make It:

01 - Bring water to a boil and make instant mashed potatoes according to package instructions, incorporating extra butter and a splash of milk for enhanced creaminess.

02 - Bake or air fry frozen popcorn chicken at 200°C for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

03 - Warm drained sweetcorn in a saucepan or microwave, then pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

04 - Whisk brown gravy mix with water continuously while heating to a boil, ensuring a smooth, lump-free consistency.

05 - Spoon mashed potatoes into warm serving bowls as a base. Scatter sweetcorn around the edges, pile popcorn chicken at the center, and ladle hot brown gravy over the top. Immediately sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese to melt with residual heat.

# Additional Tips:

01 - For optimal melt and flavour, always use freshly shredded cheddar instead of pre-shredded varieties.

02 - Pre-warming bowls before assembly helps retain serving temperature and enhances presentation.

03 - Begin layering with the mashed potatoes to create a stable base and prevent other components from shifting.

04 - Individual assembly of each bowl ensures components maintain the best texture compared to casserole-style preparation.
