Just had a quick look at this site this morning and will take a longer look later, but in all those 10 out of 11 spices, does it anywhere give quantities?

All my kids love KFC and if I could crack that for them, I'd be a Carlsberg Dad!! lol

There is a sticky post where a guy puts down each of his 27 experiments including quantities. They seem to get progressively better.

I got this a while back on the tinternet.

Seemingly was found in the Colonels house but KFC deny it.  Myth probably but the mix works.


2   cups   Plain Flour

Heres one of the latest recipes from the KFC Forum including the 10 definate Herbs and Spices plus the best guess of the 11th so far , you Brine the chicken for 2- 24 hours in the fridge then rinse it and dry it with kitchen roll then dip it in the eggwash let the excess drip off, then roll and press in the flour mix and shake off excess flour , then deep fry at 180 for about 7-8 mins

Chicken~

1 whole chicken, cut in pieces to KFC spec i.e. bone in and skin on including breasts (or 8-10 legs and thighs)

~Flour Mix~

2 cups self-raising cake/pastry flour
1 tbsp Sugar, light brown
1 tbsp Salt
2 tsp MSG

~Spice Mix~

2 tsp Black Peppercorns, medium ground (s)
2 tsp White Pepper, fine ground (s)
1 tsp Ginger, Jamaican (if available), fine ground (s)
3/4 tsp Sage, fine ground (h)
1/2 tsp Bay Leaves, ground (h)

1 tbsp Salt
1 tbsp Sugar

Brine the chicken for at least 2 hours.

~Egg Wash~

I should add that these guys are attemting to replicate the Origonal Recipe as the Colonel intended us all to enjoy and not the tasteless crap that KFC Corp have been serving us up since the early 1970's.

Maybe so, but have you seen the way they produce chicken these days? Look HERE, believe me if they could manufacture a 10 legged chick they would!
