KFC Fried Chicken Secret Recipe – Original Recipe / Secret Ingredients / How to Make KFC

KFC Fried Chicken Secret Recipe

Kfc fried chicken is legendary, and there must be hundreds of websites and videos claiming to have cracked the secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices. Others get into deep discussions about how the chicken is pressure fried.

For the full recipe in printable format, please visit our website http://whats4chow.com/2014/10/07/kfc-fried-chicken-secret-recipe-original-recipe-secret-ingredients-how-to-make-kfc/

This is Episode #178 with Whats4Chow.com – for notifications & updates please subscribe to our channel.

In our next episode we will cover KFC wings and KFC Chicken Burger Patties.

Over time I have tried many of these copycat recipes and can only say that it was one disappointment after the next. None of them even came close to the real thing.

Today I will reveal to you the actual secret behind the legendary taste, aroma and texture of this iconic chicken.

Before I continue, I would just like make a point. Whats4Chow.com is the FIRST TO PUBLISH THIS, and I am sure that there will be a load of other channels copying my video within a very short time of this being published. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do to prevent this, but to those free loaders out there that will inevitably copy my work, please have the decency to give our channel and website the credit it deserves for finally decoding the mystery of the world’s finest chicken brand.

Let’s get started by saying that it is not the secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, and it is not the use of pressurized deep fryers, or the type of oil or shortening used to do this.

The secret to the insanely good flavor, texture and aroma is in the preparation of the chicken before it even coated. In fact, using this method the chicken tastes very close to the real thing even without the 11 herbs and spices!

    Hi,
    If I used curing salt instead of salt and saltpetre as in the recipe would it still work o.k?…I found curing website that sells curing salt and it states …if a recipe calls for saltpetre and salt,,simpley replace the amount of salt required with the curing salt.the curing salt consists of..sodium nitrate..sodium nitrite,and salt

    Hi it's me again.
    Thank you for the reply to my question.
    I was hoping you could answer a few more for me.
    (1) after curing how long could I keep the chicken in the refrigerator before breading and frying?.
    (2) would it be o.k to freeze it after curing?.
    (3) in the recipe you don't give the weight for the amount of chicken pieces! ..
    Does this not matter…what I mean is chicken thigh and legs come in all sizes.
    Hope you will help me with these questions. Thanks again anita.

    KFC also has non-breaded, grilled chicken, that is good for low carb diets, but still tastes great. Anyway to make this recipe without the flour?

    hey, I was wondering if I can substitute saltpetre with  sodium benzoate, as it does the same thing?

    Hi Chef. I'm extremely fascinated by your recipe and I really want to try it.
    However, some of your ingredients are hard to find I live in Bombay (Mumbai) India..
    I have ready available Allspice powder but not able to find whole Allspice pluse what exactly is Saltpetre? Is it potassium nitrate cause that's what I found out..
    And for your Non Iodized Salt what can I use are there any alternatives? Could I use Sea Salt or Rock Salt..
    Could you please help me understand..
    And one other query got solved in the below post about one "Corn" of Allspice..
    Looking forward to your response..
    Thanks,
    Angel David..
