Notes

Can I Make the KFC Famous Bowl Recipe with Instant Mashed Potatoes

Want to make the KFC Famous Bowl recipe with instant mashed potatoes? No problem.
I use Idahoan instant potatoes all the time (even on Thanksgiving, shhh) and no one ever says a word about it.
I add some kosher salt and black pepper and have even been known to add garlic powder and/or onion powder. Or use chicken broth in place of the water.
Also, if you’re feeling like you want a creamier mashed potato bowl, add some cream cheese to your potatoes.
It’s so much easier than having to use a potato peeler, boil potatoes, use a potato masher or hand mixer, and
Just prepare them as you normally would and make the KFC Popcorn Chicken Bowl recipe with them.

Homemade KFC Famous Bowl Substitutions

There are a few things that you can substitute in the copycat KFC Famous Bowl if you don’t want to cut up and prepare your chicken breast yourself.
You can substitute any of the following:
  • crispy chicken tenders
  • crispy chicken strips
  • chunks of crispy chicken
  • crispy popcorn chicken
  • Frozen Corn (follow the package instructions ) or Fresh Corn can also be substituted in place of canned corn.

Copycat KFC Spicy Famous Bowl

If you want to spice it up, place your chicken before in a bowl and shake it around with some hot sauce. The great thing about making the famous chicken bowl yourself at home is that you can make it to your liking.
In just a matter of minutes, you can have a hot comfort dish that your entire family will love. The best part is that it doesn’t take a lot of time to make the copycat KFC famous bowl recipe.

How to Store KFC Famous Bowl Recipe with Instant Mashed Potatoes Leftovers
