Crispy Copycat KFC Bowl Recipe
My copycat KFC bowl recipe layers instant mashed potatoes, sweet corn, popcorn chicken, chicken gravy, and cheddar in the same order KFC does. I tested it 4 times, and instant potatoes and popcorn chicken tasted the closest. The potatoes, corn, and gravy warm up while the chicken cooks, and it makes 4 bowls.

Ingredients
- 1 (4 ounce) package instant mashed potatoes plus other ingredients needed to make it based on packaging
- 1 cup canned corn drained
- 16 ounces frozen popcorn chicken
- ¾ cup jarred chicken gravy
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cook the popcorn chicken according to the package directions.
- While the chicken is cooking, heat up the corn kernels and make the mashed potatoes also according to the packing instructions. Lastly, heat up the jarred chicken gravy.
- Assemble the bowls: Layer with ½ cup of mashed potatoes, ¼ cup of corn, 4 ounces popcorn chicken, 2-3 tablespoons of gravy, and 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It stores best with all ingredients separate, especially the chicken and gravy.
Reheat leftovers separately and assemble the bowls right before serving. I like to reheat the chicken in the air fryer to get it crispy again quickly.
