So what is a Fakeaway? It’s a play on the word “Takeaway” meaning to create a naughty meal similar to your usual takeaway dish but finding a inventive ingredients to create it in a more healthy way. Eating this recipe once or a twice a month as never affected my weight loss but this is your journey so I will leave the decision to you. Why you’ll love this recipe…. Firstly, what is a tweak? A tweak is when you use a particular Syn free food in a way it is not meant to be consumed. For Example: here we are using couscous as a coating rather than cooking it to eat fully expanded. It’s absolutely delicious and full of flavour. In fact I would even go as far as saying it’s better than the original KFC!A very healthy alternative to the KFC takeaway. Cook with Slimming World Chips, coleslaw, beans etc and you can recreate your own KFC Takeaway.
