As the chilly weather creeps in and we spend more time indoors, many of us find ourselves in the mood for some delicious, comforting dishes.

We can all agree that nothing quite hits the spot like a wholesome, hearty and flavourful roast chicken.

Fortunately, we have some good news – Coles has just announced the addition of a brand new flavour to its popular hot roast chicken range, and it’s sure to be a hit with KFC fans: The all-new Southern Style version of their family favourite.

What’s so special about it? Well, it’s a smokey buttermilk marinade with a herby stuffing, and it’s absolutely delicious. It’s also perfect when paired with BBQ-style sides.

A Coles spokesperson said: ‘As the weather is cooling down, Aussies want comforting and hearty meals that are easy to prepare but won’t break the bank.’

The Southern Style Hot Roast Chicken is the latest addition to the Southern Style product range, which already includes the popular Southern Fried Chicken Portions.

For those keen to get their hands on this new offering, you can now purchase it for $13 at Coles stores nationwide.

Whilst retailers are responding to the demand for cosy, comforting meals during the cooler weather, many of us don’t know the origins of the recipes we’re drawn to.

Southern-style cooking has been a popular comfort food style for centuries, originating in the south of the United States in the early 19th century.

Southern-style food has been adapted and adopted worldwide and is now one of the most popular comfort food styles.

Traditional Southern-style recipes incorporate buttermilk, tomatoes, cabbage, corn, potatoes and green beans, and spices like mustard and garlic.

Southern-style fried chicken is one of the most iconic and loved dishes, which combines buttermilk, eggs and spices to create a tasty and crunchy finish.

Southern-style cooking is characterised by its warmth, flavour and often time-consuming techniques.

Slow cooking is often used in Southern-style recipes to help intensify the flavour, by using low heat and extended cooking times to ensure the ingredients are cooked to perfection.

Years back, I lived in a mixed household where one housemate was a trainee vet. She had two large sealed in the packet, syringes for use in the equine industry.

I convinced her to let me have one and syringed a chicken with pumpkin, that was my first flavor change and another time I did another with a spritzed peanut butter honey and soy sauce combo.

They tasted fantastic. Over the years I have done similar things. like injecting pineapple etc. You need a big brand-new Syringe though. Yep, males do seem to come up with very practical alternatives.
I have injected spiced butter into chickens as well, as I love tender flesh.

Why are we getting so much American type and flavoured foods over here????

 

[Pink lion]

We get so many AMERICAN THINGS due to American byers for Coles Myers, Kmart, Big W etc etc. I passed an Aboriginal guy in his mid-fifties wearing a USA jumper on today.

It is next to impossible to purchase anything with Aus or Australia of an outback scene etc in ANY major department stores.

THESE SOCIAL INFLUENCERs are determined to Promote AMERICA over Australia and it has been this way for many years.

This is why we have so many American flavours.
