[@ch0pst1xZ1]

As a former KFC employee, you almost got the process right. Firstly, the chicken comes out of the cool room and gets a cold plain water bath. Then dumped into the breading and arranged onto the "birdcage". The breaded drums then get a second plain water bath before they're breaded again and placed in the birdcage. The pressure cookers are heated to 180 degrees Celsius, then birdcage is then placed into the pressure cooker and pressure cooked for 15 minutes. During the pressure cook the oil slowly cools down to about 125 degrees Celsius (if memory serves me correctly) Then during the final minute the cooker depressurizes and the chicken comes out looking perfect. (Note this is how it was done in Australia in the "4 head" cookers circa 2009. I believe they use 8 head cookers now and the process may have changed."

I’ve heard it’s also a genetic thing that can make people be more susceptible to MSG headaches. But yeah, that 5th scotch probably doesn’t help either.

[@kairos-049]

@@FerretsForever94 that may be, but I don't think it helps that an excess of salt that usually accompanies things like American Chinese food can dehydrate a person, which only worsens headaches.

[@FlameDarkfire]

@@pododododoehoh3550 Definitely heavy on the salt. All of the salts with extra flavors can be substituted for just the flavors by themselves.

[@Littleathquakes]

Grant D excess salt doesn’t dehydrate a person if they’re adequately hydrated. your natural response to excess salt is to become thirsty and drink water to dilute the salt. as the original commenter noted, the 5th glass of scotch is the culprit. alcohol actually dehydrates you and people grab at it because it’s a liquid and they incorrectly think it will rehydrate them.

Natrually, it's Litteraly just dried and crushed seaweed, tomatoes, or mushrooms. That said, they usually add a ton of other chemicals. Also, I avoid these things anyways, because I'm alergic to msg.

Definitely a member of my and my roommate's clean plate club! Also you inspired me to break down a chicken for the first time. You bastard, you make it look so easy! It was a little bit of carnage but everything worked out great in the end!
