However, when we have time, why don't we give it a try by buying some good recipes and cook for our family with love at home! Again, There is no right or wrong answer on this comparison. Be positive and be thankful to person who spend time on making video for us. Thank you! I'm going to buy some chicken now lol. See ya!

I Worked at a KFC in Burbank, CA, 1969-1971. Old school...and the best KFC made. We used a wire basket to dunk the chicken in a milk and egg batter for about a minute. Then shook the basket gently to free excess batter. We then breaded the chicken piece by piece, loading it into a pre-mixed flour, containing the 11 herbs and spices. (I could have walked off with some of these pre-mixed bags, but never did) We then shook the pieces gently to free of excess flour. Meanwhile, using a deep fry thermometer, the uncovered pressure cooker was heating to a temp of 400 degrees. Then using a small "serving" tray, gently dropped the breaded chicken in the heated oil, piece by piece. Using that technique kept the oil temp from dropping too much. Keeping the dial at maximum heat, we'd brown and stir the chicken gently with a spoon, rather than a fork, so as not to disturb the breading. Once the chicken was golden brown, we'd cap the pressure cooker, the temp still on high, until the pressure control piece on top of the cover started hissing. We'd then turn the heat down, far enough to maintain a steady hissing from the pressure piece 8-10 minutes later, we'd then pull up on the control piece to release the pressure. We'd finish by dumping the chicken into a rack situated on receiving bin. The hot oil would flow back into a oil heating stove. The result was the most delicious KFC that you have ever tasted.

It interesting to hear how things changed over time. When I was cooking, chicken was cooked for 16 minutes. I don't remember the exact temp we cooked at, I want to say 375, but I could be wrong. We didn't set temps, the pressure cookers we had were computerized and everything was pre-set. There was a "cool down" setting for when you'd clean it, "warm up" to warm up before cooking, and then depending on WHAT you were cooking, there was a setting for that: half load, full load, all white, all dark, normal.

I tried this at home :-) :-) ... I would like to share my experience with you: - First of all: it is impossible to make exact copy at home for a lot of reasons, and discussing why is wasting of time. Lot of people explained that on a few threads. - Second: This is recipe is great ... taste is good and I can say that it is very, very close to original. Try it and then do some changes and try to find what you prefer - adapt it to yourself. - I used deboned drumstick and thighs and cutted them in halves. This recipe is good for bigger pieces like that, for smaller pieces like stripes or wings it is too salty - use three cups of flour instead two and it will be ok. - Another advice: I didn't wipe chicken pieces - I putted them in flour and spices mixture first and let it dry with it. Then coated in eggwhite and back to flour and spices mixture. That way you will have richer coating. - Also - whisk your eggwhite from time to time while frying - that will make it fluffy and it will increase volume of coating in the oil ... interesting thing is that whole my life I was almost sure that those big "grains" in coating was from corn flour in some shape (manna-croup or semolina) - it is from fluffy eggwhite and flour mixture. P.S. Sorry for my bad English ...

I too worked at KFC when I was a teenager. We used to put the raw chicken in what looked like a miniature washing machine. I believe it ran about an hour. Then we would dredge it in the "Secret Flour Mixture" and load them on a pressure cooker with oil in it. It ran 13 minutes when it came up to pressure. To make the extra crispy version we would double dredge it with that second coating and then fry it in a normal frying vat. In the bottom of the of the Pressure Cooker when cleaning the grease there would be all the chicken coating that fell off during the cooking process. This would be saved and that is what we made the gravy from. However, my favorite was the Cole Slaw. The Coleslaw now comes in a Gallon square box pre-made. When I worked there we made it ourselves, homemade! It was simply the best thing to go along with the entire meal. I made so much of it that year I remembered the recipe by heart. The key is finely cutting the cabbage and carrot toa little bigger than rice size and the onion must be almost a paste consistency before adding to the recipe. We used to use what was called a buffalo chopper to get them all the proper size and consistency. Enjoy! Cole Slaw Recipe 1 cup of Mayonnaise 2/3 cup of Granulated Sugar ½ cup of milk ½ cup of buttermilk 6 TBS Lemon Juice 3 TBS white Vinegar 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon Black Pepper 16 cups of Finely cut Cabbage ( 2 heads) Small quarter head of purple cabbage for color( May be omitted) ½ cup of finely chopped carrots 4 TBS finely minced Onion (almost a paste) Instructions 1. Be sure Cabbage and Carrot are finely chopped using buffalo chopper. ( a little bigger than the size of rice) 2. Combine Mayonnaise, Sugar, Milk, Buttermilk, Lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, Cabbage, carrots, and onion. 3. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours before serving. Yields: 20 to 24 servings

The crispy bits came out at the bottom of the pressure cooker after we put a paper filter in. It would look like a cake about an inch thick and about 12 inches in diameter. We would add it to 2 cups of flour and then add a couple gallon of water, salt, and black pepper. Essentially you make a rue and add the water in at the end. Bring it to a boil it will thicken up. That's pretty much it.

Well, I worked at a KFC for 3 years during high school and you got it really wrong. 1. you may or may not have the spices listed correctly but I wouldn't know that because they came in a sealed plain packet that was labeled herbs and spices. 2. KFC does not "double coat" its original recipe only the extra crispy is double coated, 3. Fryer oil should be at 350* not 300* time is 13 minutes exactly, 4. Chicken is tumble marinated for close to 5 hours in a cold tumbler before breaded and cooked, 5. KFC chicken is Fried in a(Henny Penny) a brand of pressure fryer, or in newer stores a deep submersion rack pressure fryer at 3 atmospheres pressure. the marinate and pressure cooking is essential to tenderness, flavor, and juiciness associated with the true KFC experience. the spices may be close or even right on,but without all the steps you are just getting close not truly making a 1for1 copy, nice attempt though it really resembles it in looks anyway.

I worked at KFC in the 70's in 3 different stores in 2 different states and almost met the Colonel but was not in the store when he made a surprise visit. I agree with everything you mentioned except for the marinating we only did that for the extra crispy never for the original. The chicken came right out of the bag and into the egg wash then into the flour allowing 7 seconds dipping and shaking.... then loaded into the basket for frying in to a 360 degree pressure fryer for 13 minutes... I think every store and franchise had their own way of doing things depending on which fryer they used but the process was pretty much the same...

The problem with copy-cat recipes isn't just an issue of ingredients. There are the exact quantities used on a small scale compared to a more precisely controlled "commercial" preparation but also where the ingredients are sourced. Different brands of ginger or pepper for example will taste different depending on source. Freshness of the ingredients or how they were handled will have an impact. Frying under pressure might impact flavonoid solubility in the oil (impacting flavor profile). Temperature settings, oil types and sources and usage (oils used longer pick up different flavors). etc etc. KFC is KFC because it's KFC lol ... not just the ingredient list :)
@ShadowPoet8 жыл бұрын
I guess the novelty of "secret" is probably a decent marketing device :) I think the ingredients are on part of the story, how it's made and prepared and processed another part of that story. At the end of the day, the whole is the sum of its parts (however insignificant on the surface). Enjoy the chicken!

Perhaps then when you can come to an understanding of the post, (maybe) we can have a meaningful discussion on the various effects ingredient sourcing, handling, and recipe execution has on the final outcome of any given recipe. Till then, you read as a severely misinformed troll and a waste of my time. (Hint/Summary: Recipes are a sum of the ingredients but also where said ingredients were sourced and how they were prepared are factors to consider). Use the brain first... its fun...

I used to work for the Colonel a little over 10 years ago. I'm going to assume they still make it the same way. I didn't work there long, but one conversation we'd always have was: Who's nose could detect what spices in the flour mix? Then, one day I just looked on the ingredients label on the flour mix bag (insert head slap here). One step KFC does is the marinating of the chicken. You toss two chickens-worth into a tumbling machine with this horribly caustic mix of salt and god knows what. Once the chicken has been marinated : IT MUST BE USED. The chicken starts to break down from the horrific amount of salt in the marinade so much so that after two days in the fridge, the uncooked chicken turns into this soggy, black, gelatinous mess. I only witnessed that once over a Christmas (because we'd close for the holiday) and it was ghastly. The second part is that most stores don't do the egg-wash step anymore. After the marination step, the chicken simply gets lightly rinsed off in tap water then tossed into the breading. I was a really good cook - I loved my job, and it was fun and surprisingly rewarding. I added my own extra step of DRAINING the chicken as it came out of the fryer. The instructions say to go right out of the fryer, onto a rack and into the warmer. But if you do that, the chicken soaks in it's own grease. What I'd do is take the basket out of the fryer, but lock the basket OVER the hot oil, so the basket & chicken stayed warm, but I'd let it sit there for 30 seconds or so before opening the rack to allow the chicken some time to drip. Many times we'd get compliments from customers but many thought we were making the Extra Crispy recipe! The chicken was that tasty and crispy. One step a lot of restaurants miss is they don't sift the breading mixture enough. It's supposed to be light and fluffy and free of any clumps from the previous chicken. Without sifting, the flour mixture doesn't get evenly spread out and the chicken gets clumpy. Looking at this recipe, I'm going to say it's correct, aside from missing MSG. But, I would hardly call that a bad thing. But I would definitely agree - there is a huge difference from the KFC I had as a child, versus the stuff today. Even the stuff today doesn't hold a candle to the chicken I made way back in the early 2000's. When I'd bring buckets home to my friends after work - they WANTED my chicken. Today, very few people want to go to KFC.

The recipe in my opinion changes from shop to shop. All the businesses are franchised and ive had different tasting chicken in the same town from different premises. I also have the Official KFC Recipe book. On a side note...Dixie Fried Chicken is better, its tastier and no way near as dry as KFC. You cannot attain the same results as KFC without a Pressure cooker, plus I beg to differ on your recipe. There is 24 hour Marinate process and seperate recipe for this preceding the below cooking recipe ( which im not posting) KFC Original Recipe 6 cups Crisco Shortening 1 eggs well beaten 2 cups Milk 2 cups Flour 2 teaspoons ground pepper 3 tablespoons salt 1 teaspoon MSG 1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 dash paprika 2 Frying Chickens cut into 6 pieces Place shortening into the pressure cooker and heat over medium heat to the shortening reaches 400F. In a small bowl, combine the egg and milk. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining six dry ingredients. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk until fully moistened. Roll the moistened chicken in the flour mixture until well coated. In groups of four or five, drop the covered chicken pieces into the shortening and lock the lid. When pressure builds up cook for 10 minutes. RELEASE TO MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS!!

I'm a cook at KFC, the two differences between your recipe and actual KFC is 1) The chicken is pressure fried, not just fried in a pot like you did it. As a result, it ends up being much less crunchy, which is what makes it unique. 2) I'm pretty sure the chicken is marinated in something like buttermilk before it is cooked, which would help to tenderise the chicken.

One additional thought ...mix the spices together first. I suggest using a mixer on it's slowest speed, and add the flour slowly. This way you don't get hot-spots of spices on the chicken. I would add about 1/8 ts of curry powder for that buttery taste. I wouldn't count salt as a spice. Mix the hell out of it. Would you try this?? I just ordered a chicken pressure cooker to get the cooking part right. But, mixing the spices thoroughly has to be the key.

OK... a couple of things. Use cake flour rather than all purpose flour (better coating), and substitute Accent for the salt. If you would rather not use the Accent, try popcorn salt (unflavored). It mixes better with the flour (doesn't "settle"). Then pressure fry the chicken, NOT deep fry! Original recipe KFC doesn't "crunch" (unless it isn't properly done), but rather has a softer skin. But otherwise a good job! By the way, I was a training director for a KFC franchisee in Texas for 12 years. I don't know the "secret" recipe, but I know the methods quite well. Thanks!

When Col. Sanders Died he took that recipe with him. *_Internet rumor_* has it that since Kentucky Fried Chicken's name was changed to KFC that's when they started producing Genetically Damaged Chickens (GMO) that don't grow feathers. All I know is KFC's chicken does not taste like it did when I was younger. It is very salty and not much flavor now. You may have the ingredients, but you don't know at what measurement of each ingredient. No matter how anyone tries to duplicate another persons recipe, it will never be the same as the original creator. Give 10 people a recipe instruct that it must be prepared/cooked the exact way of the directions, everyone will still make it slighty different.

Not true. They're not genetically damaged chickens. If they were they could still call it Kentucky Fried Chicken. They are not legally allowed to refer to them as chickens because they are not. The industry term for them is meat donors. They are "fed" and emptied through tubes and wires. Not only don't they grow feathers they have no beaks or feet either. Oh and don't check change doors on vending machines or go in to ball pits either because iv drug abusers put their used needles in there. It must be true because I read it on the internet! I know you put internet rumor in your comment but reading through these comments it seems many still believe it to be true!

Call me what you want, but I have been communicating with the LORD for several years now and he enlightens often on people's action on this matter. Yes we "ALL" need to draw closer to him. I pray we offend NOT our lord and our find place with him, HE's such a wonderful to know. FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST is for ALL to know and LOVE. I pray for us all.

KFC CHICKEN RECIPE This recipe is for deep frying. If pressure frying, cooking time will be shortened to 12 to 14 minutes. 1 frying chicken cut into 8 pieces Brine 8 cups water 1/3 cup salt 1 tablespoon MSG 6 to 10 cups soybean oil (vegetable oil) Breading 9 ounces all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon MSG (monosodium glutamate) 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 2 teaspoons ground tellicherry pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground savory 1/2 teaspoon ground sage 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground majoram 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/8 teaspoon garclic powder 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper Dredge 4 eggs 2 cups skim milk 1. Dissolve 1/3 cup salt and 1 tablespoon MSG in 8 cups water. Add chicken and marinate for 2 hours. Remove chicken from brine, rinse with water and blot dry. 2. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 300° F. 3. Make the breading by combining all ingredients in a large bowl. 4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk. 5. When the oil is hot, dip each piece of chicken in the egg and milk mixture and then press into the breading. Toss each chicken piece in the breading until well-coated, let chicken sit for 2 minutes in the breading, shake off the excess breading and fry 2 to 4 pieces at a time (or whatever your fryer can hold) for 18 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown. Drain chicken on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving. TIDBITS If you want to keep the chicken warm until it's all cooked, place the fried pieces on a rack on a baking sheet and keep them in your oven set to 200° F.

I have to agree the New owners ruined KFC, I'm not 55 but as a former KFC head cook and watching this video I've seen several mistakes, 1 extra crispy is double dipped but not in egg whites and milk, just water, the eggs are already in the flour mixture, 2 extra crispy and original recipe are cooked different, extra crispy is cooked just like in the video, but the original recipe is pressured cooked, and ain't double dipped, all those spices goes into the original recipe not the extra crispy, 3 extra crispy chicken that they make, ain't doubled dipped, because extra crispy used to have a ton of little crispy crumbs in the bottom of the box, which was the best part of eating extra crispy. now I have to go to Long John Silver's to get that, I can't even go and buy KFC anymore because it tastes different not as good

The recipes is likely different in each region, keep in mind that KFC in the US is very different from the KFC in say Canada. That's because the colonel sold the US franchises and then when the company which bought it tried to expand into Canada, he challenged the company in court that he had only sold the US operation and retained all international rights, he won that court battle. For decades, he would say that the KFC products in the US tasted like cardboard especially the gravy, he would make surprise visits to the restaurants in order to check on the gravy and re-educate the staff on how gravy should be made. The colonel resided in Canada after the court battle so though the KFC's of nations other than the US were also his, it was the Canadian KFC's that received the lion's share of his personal attention to quality while he was alive. As to cooking the chicken in a pressure cooker (note cooker as in 3-5 psi boost not a canner which is 5-15 psi boost), the danger is that the oil vapors eventually gum up the typically wax safety pressure release valve and no amount of washing would prevent this. They actually used to sell pressure cookers specifically for "broasting" chicken back in the 70's but they were later banned because they became unsafe over time. It isn't the hot oil that makes the "broasting" unsafe but the degradation of the safety valve. I suppose if you could find a pressure cooker or canner with a more durable hence cleanable safety pressure release valve, you could safely try "broasting", or if you just treat the pressure cooker as disposable after a set number of uses. As some pubs have commercial broasting cookers, I would suggest taking the recipe to such a pub and letting them try it out and have a number of customers comment on the product. If you don't like MSG, use powdered mushrooms. Mushrooms, tomatoes and fish are natural sources of glutamates which is what you want from MSG, the uname paste that you can buy at grocery store is essentially tomatoes, mushrooms and anchovies for the glutamates, the so called "fish sauce" of Asian recipes is Anchovy extract for the glutamates, essentially any food you would consider "savory" is because it has glutamates essentially having MSG. Asian markets will often sell a mushroom seasoning powder which is mostly salt with some powdered mushrooms. To be truthful, your body produces more MSG per day than you could consume from a recipe and MSG allergies have never been proven, indeed none of the claimed negative effects have been proven in double blind controlled tests. Of course, as with any seasoning, restraint should be exercised with MSG, or with mushrooms, tomatoes, and fish (anchovies) which are basically just natural sources of MSG.

Your comment perfectly illustrates the phenomenon of Rosy Retrospection. Everybody thinks foods tasted better when they were younger. Most folks think KFC in the 90's was HORRIBLE, "nothing like the 1970's chicken" which was HORRIBLE and "nothing like Colonel's original in the 50's". Yet YOU look back fondly to 90's KFC. Millenials eating it now say it was better back in 2001. Just a simple psychological reality. People say the same thing about Doritos to Pepsi to Kit-Kat bars to baseball. Everything was better when they were a kid.
@gray_space_alien7 жыл бұрын
I worked in a KFC 40 years ago and several steps are missing here. We put the chicken in a prep unit that circulated hot water around it for a specified amount of time (partial cooking as well) the chicken was transferred to a breading table where it was dipped in a milk and egg dip and then browned in a pressure cooker pot before being pressure cooked for about 12 minutes if I'm not mistaken. Anything pan fried wouldn't have the same texture as the original. This was 1975 so I can't remember all the details but I'm pretty close. And from what I understand that recipe was not what the Colonel had in mind, this I got from people that actually met him in the store that I worked. So the recipe has been going downhill for many years and the whole transfat thing really fucked it up. Just my opinion tho.

Joel, we have chatted quite a few times on your site, i am from rural ky. Appx. 35 miles east of the very first KFC opened by colonel harlan sanders. Since the corporations have taken over, not only does it not taste like it did yrs. Ago, but the chicken pcs. Are much smaller, and i think that is why it has a bland in taste to you, and also to me. I would not be surprised at all if your copycat recipe was better in taste. I know you mentioned to me recently that you may be visiting the U.S. soon and if you do, and you happen to visit near lexington, frankfort, or louisville ky. There is a restaurant fairly nearby called claudia sanders restaurant within an hour to hour and a halves drive. It is is a very large 2 story house they lived in.(will kind of remind you of the u.s. whitehouse in washington d.c. ,but not quite that big, if you are familiar with). Claudia Sanders was harlan sanders wife who he even admitted came up with the recipe for the chicken and the side dishes . It is not like a KFC but truly has the original chicken taste that you are looking for when you ate it at a younger age, plus they serve quite a few more sidedishes and desserts that are not available at the KFC's. They do not have a drive thru , and i am not even sure if you can get food to go, but they may. It is more of a white tablecloth style, but you still eat the chicken with your hands, and you do not have to dress up, jeans, button up or golf shirt, etc... very casual. Check it out if you are ever in the area, i promise you that you will not be disapointed

Worked at KFC in 1987. Not sure about all those spices she mixed in. Most of KFC original rec. packet is non-iodized salt (celery?), white pepper, some black pepper, paprika for sure, dried mustard seed powder then others? not sure. When you open the packet it looks mostly whitish from the salt (I'm not sure if it's really celery salt or not) and white pepper, small specks of black pepper, and if there are any green herbs they are crushed into powder so you can't determine what they are. That packet is poured into the reg flour. and mixed together. You dip the chicken in water only one time only then coat with the flour mixture then fried on a round rack in pressure cooker (don't bang pieces together after breading like you see in other videos). The milk/egg/water mix was for Extra crispy, it's dipped twice in the milk/egg mix and breaded twice in just reg. flour, (dip, flour, dip, flour) and then fried in open fryer. The orginal rec. is fried in pressure cooker on 480 deg for 8 min....I liked to do a little extra long fry for 10-11 minutes to make mine a little more on the dark side. The extra crispy chicken is marinated in a tumbler with salt, water, and one other ingredient (bromelain to give a tangy flavor I believe). It's mixed in this tumbler for about 30 minutes on a timer (extra crispy chicken is chemically and mechanically tenderized).

you live near me, I won't put your address all over the internet but I will say I live near Wilson's rd shops. I think if you add some sugar it will taste exactly the same.

Well tbh as a cook at KFC, the chicken is pressure cooked in oil for 15 mins and all we use is breading flour, milk and egg mix, seasoning mix (11 herbs and spices) and breading salt. So yea it’s all basically powder today compared to how it was back in the day.

I tried this recipe it's super mega good. I also think the colors used in the KFC cup contribute to the good taste of the food, the coloration of the packaging just make you hungrier because it's associated with the food restaurant. So if you were to serve these homemade fried chicken in the same packaging or a packaging with the same color combination, it would trick your brain, signaling the "hungry" feeling and thus making you crave them more and taste even better
