Woman makes sell out KFC Popcorn Chicken pizza at home for £4

The release of Pizza Hut's KFC pizza was met with huge excitement among fans last week with the joint creation selling out within 24 hours.

It included mozzarella cheese, KFC popcorn chicken and sweetcorn, and KFC gravy.

However, priced at £18 many did feel it was too expensive for just one pizza.

One shopper has now shared how she has managed to create her own version of the pizza for £4, meaning a saving of £14.

Speaking to the MEN, Samantha Eborn said: "Me and my boyfriend saw that Pizza Hut were bringing out this new KFC pizza and we both really wanted to try it but refused to pay £18 for just a pizza.

"We have fakeaways regularly and I'm a keen home cook and thought I could probably knock something up that was pretty similar for a lot less. And we did.

"Massive saving and it was absolutely delicious if I do say so myself."

All the ingredients were bought from Lidl and B&M and include chicken nuggets and even gravy.

Here's what ingredients Samantha used and how she did it.

Ingredients

  • 400g strong white bread flour (Lidl - 55p)
  • 225ml warm water
  • 1 sachet dried yeast (Lidl - 44p)
  • 1 tsp sugar (Lidl - 65p)
  • 1 tsp salt (Lidl - 18p)
  • 2 tbsp oil (£2.59 for 1L - Lidl)
  • 1 bag of value chicken nuggets (£1.19 for a bag of 22 - Lidl)
  • Mild cheddar (£2.49 a bag - Lidl)
  • Mayflower Southern Style Gravy (£1 - B&M)

Directions

  1. Mix the water, oil, sugar and yeast in a large bowl and leave for about 10 minutes. Add flour and salt, bring to a dough and knead for five to ten minutes until smooth. Leave to rest for 1 hour.
  2. Make one portion of gravy as per the instructions on the box and leave to cool.
  3. Cook one bag of breaded chicken nuggets and chop into quarters.
  4. Once the dough has proved, roll it out and put it in a baking tin. You can make a stuffed crust using cheese strings around the edge with the dough folded over the top.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at gas mark 8 for 15 minutes without toppings to make sure it bakes evenly.
  6. Then add cooled gravy, half the cheese, the nuggets, and top with the rest of the cheese. Put it back in the oven until the cheese is golden, slice and enjoy.
