KFC recipe is like Monalisa or Loch Ness. It has been enearthed long ago. But people want to drag the conversation on. I have tasted chicken better than KFC. The real point is marketing, than of taste (or smile, or mystery)
The Soviets reverse engineered KFC chicken in the 1960s. You can find the recipe on most Cuban sites.
If your town's KFC doesn't TASTE like KFC, call their district office. It's a known problem when the spices are shipped mixed with the flour in large bags. The spices will drift to one side if not turned over periodically. Then you get fried chicken, instead of KFC. For the prices they charge, raise hell about it. It will be made right as the TASTE is what they sell.
If I could find the recipe for Old Quebec Seasoning for chicken, I'd be happy…
When it first came out pressure cooking it for i believe for 7—9
minutes made it tender and
much better tasting
I tried it….very good indeed….to hell with KFC, this is better…….actually most any fried chicken done by a competent cook is better than the KFC chicken
DRESSING HERBS ARE STUFFING POULTRY HERBS ,
SAUSAGE SPICES ARE PEPPARONI SPICES OR BBQ SPICES…
POULTRY HERBS AND BBQ SPICES..
YOU LOOK FOR CHICKEN RECIPE FORGETTING ITS A GRAVY BASE AT END PRODUCT….. BOTTOM OF FRYER IN COLLECTOR…
GRAVY RECIPE..BREADED TO CHICKEN… DUH….
From what I have learned from a few tweaks and insider info, some of the components that are key to the eleven herbs and spices is the original good seasons dry Italian salad dressing envelope mix and half a envelope of Lipton's tomato cup o' soup, black pepper, a dash of cayenne or Tone's or Gebhardt's chili powder, granulated dry garlic and onion powder, no salt. Apparently, the salt content in the soup and dry salad dressing have enough to cover the bases. I've tried it, and its near perfect to the original recipe formula. One other key is using mock buttermilk, which is whole milk at one cup to two tablespoons of white distilled vinegar, mixed well, no eggs needed. The vinegar acts as a breakdown component of the breast, bone and fatty tissue of the skin upon wash, rinse, and thorough shaking from excess moisture. I have found that running the dry ingredients through a food processor pulsed until nearly fine works best to blend.
Heloise, the original as well recommended a technique to dry washed chicken by soaking in mock buttermilk mixture forget least 12 to 15 minutes, then dredging the chicken in the flour, baking powder and dry ingredients uncovered and frozen for 24 mins on a pretty greased cookie sheet. I guess this phase dries hard enough and seals the seasonings into the skin, as well as forms a barrier to keep moisture from interrupting the fry process.
It works, though a wee bit time consuming, but worth the wait.
As far as the deep fry, it would be the same as one would do fish and chips, which is to fry half way, drain, and reheat the oil to 350. Finish frying to a colonial oak color, drain on elevated baking rack and catching the extra grease with cheap paper towels below.
Give it a shot and you have the near thing.
300 degrees??? I hope you are not talking about Celsius!!!
This tastes better than KFC IMO.
