KFC and All Fried Chicken

you should be asking sanders, but they wont give up that secret

there is some shake-n-bake that is close but it is not exact. but i sure loved it when my wife cooked it last week.

The ingredients used in the batter of KFC are supposedly secret.

The Colonel’s “secret recipe” of eleven herbs and spices remains one of the best-kept trade secrets in business. The original handwritten recipe is locked securely in a vault in Louisville, with partial copies stored elsewhere as backup. The two suppliers of the seasonings each provide only parts of the recipe, and do not know each other’s identity. Not even the company’s president knows the ingredient list, and the few people who do are subject to a strict confidentiality agreement. Several people have contacted KFC, claiming to have found copies of the recipe, but KFC claims that none have been correct. A couple who purchased the Colonel’s original home found another handwritten recipe in the basement, and, although it was written by Sanders, it was determined to be nothing like the original.

However, author William Poundstone, in his 1985 book, Big Secrets, claimed that a chemical test revealed that the ingredients of the coating amount to nothing more than salt, ground black pepper, flour, and MSG. KFC continues to insist that their recipe has eleven herbs and spices.

It is known that part of what gives KFC chicken its unique taste is that, after being coated, it is cooked in hot oil in a pressure cooker instead of a conventional deep fryer.

you can try to email their headquarters to see about this, google kfc recipes-there are a ton of recipe sites

You can use a good seasoning salt or try Emerils Product called “Essence” . You can make your own seasoning mix by using paprika,onion salt, pepper and a commercial seasoning salt. You will need to batter/flour your chicken as well (You might want to use Buttermilk, instead of Reg. whole milk)

this is my own style
boiled the chicken put lil salt & seasoning
then drained
soak the chicken in flavored crumb
then fry
