KFC Cream of mushroom Udon noodles pie
Dedicated to all the chicken sacrificed to be deep fried in flour with herbs and spices
KFC Cream of mushroom Udon noodles pie to enjoy the last of a 21-piece bucket.
I bought a 21-piece bucket of KFC on Friday night. I’m too old now to do the whole bucket in one go. I stagger a bucket over three meals these days.
I wasn’t sure where to go with this recipe. I decided I wanted some Udon noodles and something to thicken them. As I was grocery shopping I saw some tins of soup on special and bought a tin of cream of mushroom soup.

Questions and answers
How many meals can you make from a 21-piece bucket?
Usually three meals. This is my last meal from last night’s bucket.
What pieces went into the pie?
Mainly breast pieces. I like eating the thigh pieces when I get home with the bucket. The following day I eat the drumsticks and wings. I leave the breasts to last because I don’t like breasts. I like thighs.
Where’s the cheese?
Some Coon cheese would have been nice but this pie was thick enough without adding any cheese.

Final thoughts
- How many meals would you need for a 21-piece bucket of KFC?
- Do you prefer breasts or thighs?
- Do you prefer KFC or supermarket rotisserie chicken?
When you said pie I legit thought you were going to wrap a puff pastry around the KFC 😀
I like this point 05 Keep the chicken skin aside. You did a good job of peeling the chicken skin. Most of it looks intact 😀
I nearly did you puff pastry to make a pot pie but there was a good amount of skin 😃😃😃
Next time, puff pastry KFC pie. KFC and Coles ingredients combined, a good mashup 😃
That will be later in the year 😃
Winter is coming. I am sure you are tempted to make that KFC puff pastry already 😃
I had to do a double take when I saw the title of this post and was wondering how you would do this all!
It was a pretty simple meal which tasted great. Cooking for one can be simple and delicious 😃
Truly incredible. 😋🌿
I haven’t ever eaten KFC–probably because at the stage of my life when I would have done so happily, I was a veggie. Perhaps it should go on my bucket list?! Probably rotisserie chicken for me. Like you, thigh meat every time. I had a salad while out for lunch with a friend this week and they used chicken breast and no dressing so it was very dull and very dry.
It took sous vide cooking for me to finally enjoy a bit of breast. Roast chicken breast is often so dry and stringy.
I enjoy Udon noodles. Given the food scandals that KFC has had I would buy the rotisserie chicken. Where I Live KFC was found to be selling Kentucky Fried Rats. A few years ago my girlfriend found a fried rat in her meal. As a result many KFC’S have gone out of Business.
Of course with my High blood pressure I stay away from both KFC and Popeyes chicken. It’s like they poured a bucket of salt onto each piece. Yuck.
Yikes. We’ve not had any scandals like that here yet. I’d be horrified to find a rat in my bucket of fried chicken.
In many ways I’m glad my body reacts negatively to most fast food. That way I avoid headaches, stomach pain and cooked rodents. Plus some fast food restaurants are just plain unsanitary.
My body doesn’t react well. I need to listen to my body and avoid so much of it.
Well I’m really enjoying my semi-retirement. I took a part time job with the Brooklyn Public Library in January. Everything is going well and other than having a cold in January and February I’m healthy. I want to be able to do the things I want to do without worrying about the aftereffects of bad food. Life is good.
That’s fantastic that you’re doing well in semi-retirement. Life is more important than enjoying bad food.
True. Working for the Library is wonderful. My bosses treat me extremely well. Our Team is fantastic. I work in the Adult Learning Centers doing Lots of Research and Community Outreach. Having a great time.
