A Legacy of Flavour

From the pindan red beaches of the Kimberley’s west coast to the karri forests of southern Western Australia, Harry Fisher has cemented his reputation with a pair of tongs around the campfire. Combining his passion for the Aussie bush and great food, Harry’s mission has always been to prove that camp cooking doesn’t have to be dull cooking. Now, with Harry’s Fried Chicken Spice Blend, you can bring that same enthusiasm and rich flavour to your home.

Harry’s Journey

None of this was supposed to happen. If you had told an 18-year-old Harry that he would be cooking in the bush for a living, he would have laughed and been slightly appalled. At that stage, he was on the path to becoming an investment banker. However, life had different plans. After finishing university and working as a big-shot accountant, Harry found himself yearning for the bush and the simplicity of camp cooking.

Harry’s love for cooking around the campfire grew, and in 2017, a friend suggested he start an Instagram page and YouTube channel about his cooking adventures. Thus, Fire to Fork was born, quickly amassing millions of views and tens of thousands of followers. Harry became a beloved authority on bush cooking, blending simplicity with high-quality ingredients and techniques learned from his chef mother.

The magic of Harry’s Fried Chicken Spice Blend lies not only in its unique combination of spices but also in its perfect partnership with flour and cornflour. This combination ensures an irresistibly crispy coating that locks in flavour and moisture, giving you that perfect crunch with every bite.

How to Achieve the Perfect Crispy Coating

  1. Prepare Your Meat: Soak 500g of chicken (4-6 thighs), fish, prawns, or calamari in 1 cup of buttermilk with 1 tsp of salt for 20 minutes to overnight. If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of vinegar.
  2. Create the Coating: Combine 1.5 tbsp of Harry’s Spice Blend with 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of cornflour. This mixture ensures a crisp, golden-brown exterior that is both flavourful and crunchy. ALTERNATIVELY, if you like it more spicy or want to add more flavour, don’t be shy, add an additional Tablespoon or two of Harry’s mix! 
  3. Coat and Cook: Dip the chicken, fish, prawns, or calamari in the buttermilk mixture, then thoroughly coat with the spice-flour mix. Preheat oil to about 180°C and deep fry or pan fry until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Enjoy: Serve hot and savour the incredible flavour and perfect crunch that only Harry’s Fried Chicken Spice Blend can deliver.

Ingredients

Paprika Sweet, Salt, Vegetable Protein Extract (Soy), Baking Powder, Chilli Flakes, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper, Cumin, Black Pepper, Birds Eye Chilli Ground, Yeast Extract, Anti-Caking Agent (E551).

Ingredient Insights

Anti-Caking Agent: We use silicon dioxide (E551) as an anti-caking agent to ensure that our spice blend remains free-flowing and easy to use. Despite some myths, anti-caking agents like silica dioxide are perfectly safe and commonly used in many everyday foods. Silicon dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral found in quartz and sand. It prevents clumping, so you get a consistent measurement every time.

Yeast Extract: Yeast extract is a natural flavour enhancer derived from yeast, similar to the yeast used in baking bread. It adds a rich, umami flavour to the spice blend. Yeast extracts are a normal and safe ingredient, often used to bring out the best in savoury dishes. Our yeast extract is derived from plants, making it a great option for enhancing flavour naturally.

Locally Sourced Ingredients: We are committed to supporting local businesses and ensuring the freshest ingredients. All of the components of Harry’s Fried Chicken Spice Blend are sourced from trusted local suppliers in Australia. This not only guarantees quality but also supports our local economy.

Allergen Information

While it does not contain any other major allergens, the ingredients we use and our production process do not guarantee the absence of cross-contamination.
