FAKEAWAY Spicy Salt & Chilli Shredded CHICKEN & CHIPS Iceland Food Review

Yeah Gareth it was the Muppet show The Sweedish Chef was one of my favourites was funny as hell lol

[@kevinh96]

Divide by 100 then multiply that answer by 12, that'll tell you how much salt is in that 12 gram seasoning. The answer is 3.948 grams, so basically 4g of salt in that little pack. I basically do my own version of that Munchie box that takes a little bit more work but tastes great. Spicy coated chicken strips from Iceland, Tesco or wherever cooked in the air fryer. Chips cooked in the air fryer. Then in a frying pan I throw in some diced onion, chopped chilli and diced peppers and cook until lightly caramelised. Throw the chips and chicken into the frying pan along with your seasoning and stir fry for a few minutes. Bloody lovely.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Kevin, will try and remember that 👍👍 yes I probably added a gram then 👌

[@DustyRhodes426]

The side of the box where ingredient volume was written, it said total salt was 38.5 grams salt . No calculating needed

[@DustyRhodes426]

Sorry my mistake . I didn’t read your answer as it was written. Your calculated results are 100% correct Kevin . My apologies.

[@gillianholmes2513]

My girl friend introduced your show to me and I am now hooked. Although I live in Canada, purchasing might be out of the question, you make me homesick for my beloved Yorkshire. Looking forward to watching many shows in the future.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you kindly. Welcome to the channel. All the best to you, Gareth 👍👍

[@NathanBossMan25]

I'm well thanks looking forward to the content for the year glad you are better.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Much appreciated

[@richardbannister1269]

I agree. The air fryer would be the best for it. Will definitely get that the next time I am in Iceland. Keep up the great reviews, Gareth

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks for watching!

[@tonyb181ify]

Great video as usual, I like using grease proof paper to protect the tray. Tip - you put the food on the dull side of the aluminium foil not the shiney side.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

How come the dull side? Just googled it, makes no difference 👍👍

[@tonyb181ify]

@@BaldFoodieGuy try it my friend, it makes a big difference. I didn't believe it either

[@JohnWick-stardawg]

That's being proven to be a myth. There is no difference between the shiny side and the dull side. The dull side only exists because of the process making it. Its caused by the roller that stretches it. Btw former chef here.

[@JohnWick-stardawg]

@@BaldFoodieGuy it doesn't bud.

[@tonyb181ify]

Apologies, my foil is non stick and I hadn't realised. What I said is true for that foil.

[@richarddyasonihc]

Quite amusing, as usual. I have only ever once bought a meal from Iceland, so I can’t really comment, but half a kilogram of ‘chips’ is a hell of a lot,. The word salt can refer to many chemical compounds, but in culinary terms in this country, usually refers to sodium Cloride (NaCl), food enhancer usually refers to monosodium glutamate - (another salt), often used to brighten cooked greens & enhance other flavours. Love your take on food which is clearly aimed at the bachelor or single person. Personally, I used to love cooking, but not if I was the only person eating.

[@weebizzom1495]

When you first said it was £5, I thought that was expensive, but it would definitely make two meals for me, so £2.50 a meal is all right. I like that everything is in separate pieces and in separate bags, so you don't have to cook everything at once. I may give this a try.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

So true!

[@raveon7260]

If you buy the breaded chicken breast chunks from iceland cook in air fryer or oven then in a wok add the hot cooked chicken to already cooked veg ..you can make your own also.Thats what we do and salt and pepper mix is from a chinese vlogger on youtube..dont want to say who unless you okay it.,dont want to get in bother but its really that simple you can also do breaded shredded salt and pepper chicken iceland again ..great video as usual ..

[@ShredderBenjamin]

That KMC salt and pepper seasoning is bob-on... Stick some onions, chillis, garlic & ginger in a hot wok with a modest dash of sesame oil (or some 'stir fry' oil), add some air fried Aunt Bessie's chips and toss the lot together with some of that KMC seasoning & light soy sauce. Same result as a chippy at a fraction of the cost of their salt and pepper chips!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes it's so good. Was a great gift. 👍👍

[@lesleyadams4279]

recently watched the munch boxes you got from aldi I've tried them myself, salt and pepper chilli chicken and chips and the southern fried chicken and chips with gravy both really good for the price, this one is slightly more expensive but it looks like you get loads more in the box, those fries ( reluctant to call them chips) needed a lot longer in the over they looked raw

[@ian9805]

I bought that yesterday from Iceland think I'll be using my airfryer to cook mine, it looked tasty 👍

Yes very good.

[@davidstephenson9251]

Hi Gary. We live in Hertfordshire and your video tempted us to buy a fish and ch supper. Two regular sized cod and one standard size portion of chips cost us £18.50! We had no side dishes. Shows you how much us Southern types are ripped off!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Wow cheers for the information David 👌👌

[@hardywatkins7737]

A childs portion of chips at my local chippy is £2.60!

[@ShivKumar-rm5yp]

Chips always take longer than the expected time, also for the chicken your using foil which reflects heat

[@gillkerrigan5724]

Iceland do bags of the chicken on its own so you could easily knock it up yourself but it’s a decent price for two and convenient …. I bet it would be amazing with a bit of mayflower curry sauce as well 😍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good to know!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

[@citizenseventies6738]

Hi Gaz. Try turning the oven to a higher temperature, say 240 rather than 220, then your chips should crisp up better.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers yes it's max is 200 deg its an old cooker unfortunately 👍

[@mousecharger]

binge watching vids today, i would defintely try this, it would make 2 meals for me, i'd probably add more of my own peppers jalepenos with that

You can buy that salt and pepper seasoning at Home Bargains and elsewhere for not much more than £1, so if you like this sort of food you’re better off doing it yourself. This is ok if there’s a couple of you and you’re feeling lazy though 🤣 I’ve been using greaseproof for years Gareth, I’m surprised more people don’t do it! Hopefully you’ll get the word out

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal yes it's really good isn't it. Used to use foil allot not anymore if I can help it.

Just a guess but the lack of crispiness might be down to your oven not venting the moisture that comes out.

[@rhyscory3337]

Love your videos! Keep it up butt.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers 👍

[@Coopz1969]

id of thought you'd of done it in the air fryer but i didnt think id have coriander but it is miss leading having no chlli but try putting the salt and chilli seasoning on before you cook it and sprinkle it over the chips 😊

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Next time!

[@robmcallen798]

If you try to cook crispy chicken alongside onions and peppers the chicken is bound to go a bit soggy as both the onions and peppers have a high water content. You'd need to have the chicken on a separate tray. Maybe I'm lazy but that meal seems like too much of a faff for me :P

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@citizenseventies6738]

Loved the Muppet's back in the late 70s Gaz, especially the two old guys in the balcony, Waldorf and Statler as well as the mad scientist Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant, Beaker and Miss Piggy doing her karate on poor Kermit - Hiiiii-Yaa !!!! Telly seemed way better back then, especially the old sitcoms, game shows and comedians but sadly the PC/Woke/Snowflake Brigade have put an end to some of those. Regarding the chicken, I may have a go at doing a homemade version - Fry some onions with fresh sliced chillies and diced peppers in a wok with some salt and a bit of honey then batter some diced chicken fillets and deep fry. Sounds 'spot on' to me 😀😀😀

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha yes used to watch it. Was funny. Cheers pal, all the best.

My boys love those salt and pepper chips they are pricy mind....I forgot to mention the other day..I was in the loft and found a receipt from Morrisons from 2002 £79 I could not believe how much was on there for that price!

Well to be fair a £5 for two for during Saturday drinkies, it seems ok, versus the munchie box for one from whatever takeaway.

Divide the “salt per 100g” by 100. That gives you salt per gram. Then, multiply that by 12. 32.9/100*12=3.95g of salt, or 2/3 of your daily allowance. Split between two people though, not too bad really. Looked tasty too, shame about the soggy coating though! Air fryer all the way 😊
