Kentucky Fried Chicken Recipe | Air Fryer - No Oil | Secret 11 Spices HERE | KFC

[@BigBlackBe4r]

Wow can't wait to try it! RECIPE: 4 chicken thighs bone and skin. Soaked overnight in buttermilk (1 cup) For the spiced flour mix: 2 cups flour 2/3 tablespoon salt 1/2 tablespoon thyme 1/2 tablespoon basil 1/3 tablespoon oregano 1 tablespoon celery salt 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon dry mustard 4 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoon garlic salt 1 tablespoon ginger powder 3 tablespoons white pepper Mix everything with the flour. Take the chicken from the buttermilk and roll in flour mix 7 times. Put in air frier. Variations for the mix: 1. add on Tbs baking powder 2. Add rice flour to the mix

[@Carnage1975]

Wrong recipe. I shouldn't be doing this but here's the real KFC chicken recipe... 8 cups flour 1 cup salt 1/2 cup of accent 3 tbsp black pepper 1 tbsp white pepper 1 tbsp garlic powder 3 tbsp oregano 1 tbsp thyme 1 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp cayenne pepper 1 1/2 tbsp cumin Mix well and store in a tight jar or sealed bag, the longer it is stored the better it is. Clean chicken, wash and dry. Dip chicken parts into beaten egg. Shake/mix in bag and deep fry @350-400F for 10 minutes, or until brown, use own discretion depending on the fryer. Use only oil. Enjoy! This recipe comes straight from the vault, there's more info on cooking times and chicken parts but you get the jest.

I just tried this recipe and it's really good!! The only thing I modified was that I used homemade buttermilk (1tbsp vinegar to 1cup milk) because it's cheaper, and I cooked my fried chicken at 360°F for 20 minutes💚 I don't know what you guys are complaining about. Her personality seems really infectious! Edit: take a 1 cup sized measuring cup, add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the empty cup, then fill it with milk to the top. I used 2% milk for mine, but I'm sure you would get more flavor from a milk with higher fat content. Edit #2: I used an air fryer to cook my chicken, and was cooking already thawed chicken. I cooked dark meat, but I'm sure it would be just as yummy with light meat! My nieces were (and still are) finicky about light meat.

If you want a crispier skin from an air fryer, add a tablespoon of baking powder. If you want that classic texture of the coating, add some rice flour to the flour mix, it sticks and provides that clingy flour texture.

I worked at KFC as a teenager in high school and I can tell you that we never soaked the chicken in buttermilk. The Chicken comes off the truck in single, individual bags already pieced out and then its seasoned with the ingredients/flour with the herbs and spices right before putting it in the fryers. They may do it different now, I worked there in the early 80s - and yes, its still my favorite chicken today too. Nice video, thanks for sharing :)

[@johntracy7795]

I agree...I worked there in the late 70's. We did have seasoning packets we added to the flour, and we dipped the chicken in milk/egg dip before coating it in flour, but it wasn't marinated. The only chicken that was marinated was the extra crispy, but the only seasoning it had was salt and pepper. And in most of my copycat recipes I've tried, sage is always one of the spices...in fact, my taste buds always taste sage or poultry seasoning when eating KFC Original.

[@ozarkgrannykh]

I worked at KFC in 1966 at the age of 18 & never soaked in buttermilk, just milk, then seasoned flour & it was cooked in huge pressure pots with oil... we made real onion rings using a slicer that looked similar to a school paper cutter, 4 types of cream pies, milk shakes, & even hamburgers back then.... and it was take out only.

Time has little to do with cooking chicken safely. It is all about the internal temperature of the chicken. Overcooking will result in dry, leathery meat, so you want to remove your chicken as soon as it reaches the desired temperature. "The USDA recommends cooking whole poultry to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F as measured using a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast."

[@willliam1343]

I did my KFC chicken time in a Company store from 1970 through 1972, when one fry cook kept eight big pressure cookers going continually, including all the prep-work, and then had to clean up the joint! The whole process was a meticulously timed dance, and as the last four chickens went in the last two pots, the first two pots were ready to dump on the draining racks. And on and on... I applaud your effort to recreate the spice recipe, but the chicken was Never soaked in buttermilk. The fry cook would rinse the chicken at the sink, removing the excess fat and dislocating the thighs, and re-bag it, two chickens to a bag. When ready to bread the chicken, one bag was dumped into a strainer-with-handle, and immersed briefly in an egg wash which was made from a KFC packet of dry milk and egg. No Buttermilk Was Used Anywhere In The Process. You are correct in that the process is a vital part of the recipe, but that includes the pressure cooking in vegetable oil.

Their are a few copycat products out there that are pretty darn close... here are some of our favorites Kentucky Kernel and believe it or not Menards has a great one too I add a little bit more of white pepper to it , The name of Menards is Shore Lunch classic fried chicken.

@AIRS Electrical Contractors The chicken is never pre soaked in buttermilk, if you use liquid buttermilk your crust will be dark and the chicken wont be done all the way. Look at hers at 0:03 The water we use was plain cold tap water out of the faucet. Dipping the chicken in water before putting it in the flour is just to cleaned up and wet it so that the flour really sticks to it. I havent tried this reciepe because I already know the outcome, plus orignal chicken is pressure cooked in oil. Also the "secret recipe" is just for the orignal not the crispy

for the love of all things holy do not use that much white pepper, or make sure you get *granulated* white pepper and not powdered. Followed this recipe and the breading was so spicy it was inedible. I'm also skeptical of this entire video anyway, as our final product at this time and temp and breading method did not look at all like her end product. Not sure what "video magic" she employed, but there's maybe some false advertising in here.

Rebecca I want to thank you. I made a list of all the spices I needed and went to the store. Now I'm ready to go and wouldn't you know it, I forgot the buttermilk. But, you somehow must have known I would do that because you told us how to make our own. I just did that and tasted it. Yup. It tastes like buttermilk to me. The chicken is soaking now and then I'm going to try it out. I'm sure it will be great. Thanks a lot.

I have never understood the craziness about KFC chicken. In my opinion, KFC is pretty good but not the best chicken I ever ate. My mom was a great cook and her chicken was great. The best fried chicken I ever bought was from an Amish restaurant (real Amish) in northern Indiana. Most people don't fry chicken at home so only know what restaurant chicken tastes like. This is not to knock KFC. I eat it once in a while and it is tasty but nothing special to me. I got here looking for air fryer recipes since I am learning how to use my air fryer. I am mainly interested in the spice combinations that youtube chefs are using. Thank you, Rebecca, for this recipe.

[@RebeccaBrand]

Charlie Wilson I'm so glad you liked this! Thanks for your comment!I very much love this recipe -- I've been experimenting since I made this video -- and this truly is my favorite so far! I would back out of the white pepper by 1 teaspoon -- it's a bit spicy, but that's the only modification I'd make, maybe not add the plain salt if you want less salty.

[@emm7632]

I have just tried this!! Now for a confession…..I have never had Kentucky fried chicken before😱So really can’t comment on how it compares!! However, I have tried Southern fried chicken bought from a well known upmarket supermarket and so thought I would give this a go. I had everything in my cupboard, well almost, I only had half the amount of garlic salt that I needed, left in the pot, so I subbed the last tsp, with a mixture of onion salt and garlic powder. I marinated my two chicken breasts and their two mini fillets overnight in 1 cup of buttermilk. I made the powder mix up using half measure of the recipe. I cooked it in my ninja, (latest model uk) air fry mode 180 for 20 mins. I sprayed the chicken and the basket. Trying to turn over half time was a bit of a faff, but I managed and sprayed again. Lifting it out, when finished, a little of the coating came away a little from the chicken, it had stuck to the basket. So I think when, not if because it is very nice, I do it again, I will use the metal rung insert. The mini fillets actually stayed fully covered and intact, it was just the breast that the coating came off a little. It even got the seal of approval from hubby, so it must be good!! All in all it was very tasty, had it with mayo in a sandwich. I must admit I felt really sick watching the lady bite into that pink chicken!! However, mine was cooked, still moist inside, no pink!!!! She has an interesting way of presenting, but the recipe was good and I think I will use it again.

Just had organ removal surgery. Doc put me on a recovery diet to eat healthy by cutting carbs, cook with less oil, etc. So I was looking into these air fryers. I used the jet-stream oven back in the day, I also have a nuwave oven. I assumed that the air fryers were the same as both of those, being air convection. But apparently they’re better. A friend of mine swears by hers. So, 🤔 I may just have to go get this. Oh, and I give this vid 5 BBs 🔘🔘🔘🔘🔘 💙✌🏻

It doesn't use buttermilk and you have a few of the ingredients wrong and you didn't include monosodium glutamate. This is someone who worked for KFC when we still cooked in pressure cookers on the stove and had ingredient packs with ingredient list.

Thank you Rebecca for this recipe. I'm gonna try it tomorrow. I have been fascinated by KFC since I was a kid and my parents used to deny it to us because we didn't have a lot of money. Nowadays I get cravings for it and eat it occasionally, but in Australia KFC is quite expensive (like other take away food here). Plus they cook their chicken with Canola oil and it has a bad aftertaste. I've been looking for a good counterfeit recipe for ages and I think this is as good as I'll get. Plus it's inspired me to maybe buy an airfryer. Mmmmmm, chicken.

[@RebeccaBrand]

Terrific! thank you for your great comment, but I have to say I like my VERIFIED KFC spice recipe better, this one had too much pepper, the wikipedia was just wrong.

[@cudgee7144]

Yes, over here even the smell coming from a KFC is quite sickening. It smells like rancid over used Canola Oil. I find it disgusting, but that may just be me. Going to try this recipe though. If you have not already purchased an airfryer make sure you get one with a square basket, utilises the space a lot better. 👍🦘🦘🦘

Awesome!! Just got an air fryer a couple of months ago going to give this recipe a shot. Love fried chicken with less grease. The added benefit of this is YOU control the size of the pieces. I find that the KFC's where I live locally the pieces of chicken are so small.

[@RebeccaBrand]

I agree, my KFC has small chicken too!!!!

[@eva5601]

The pieces of chicken are the same size as pigeons. Every food item at KFC has shrunk, (smaller portions) and have you noticed, that the sides have more sauce than the actual food itself. e.g. more loose cheese sauce on the macarons, then pasta, and more loose mayonnaise on the cole slaw, than cole. I believe the reason is, that the company wants to save money.

Hi Rebecca. I worked at KFC while in high school back in the late 70's and I'll tell you the the 11 herbs and spices came in an unmarked white bag. We mixed it with the flower. To prepare the chicken we dipped it in the egg wash and then into the bin of flower. We just make sure the chicken was evenly coated and then placed them on the four layer rack. We cooked 27 pieces at a time. two thighs, two legs, two wings, two breasts and one keel. Times it by three = 27 pieces. If you want a shortcut to the flour and 11 herbs and spices I suggest you just go out and by a box of Kentucky Kernel seasoned flour. This is the near identical mix. Trust me.

She is hilarious but the truth is the recipe is great but you need to add about ten minutes to a fryer preheated to 400 degrees f and then put them in and cook at 375 for total cook time of 25 minutes depending how big they are. She seems like she's doing an SNL SKIT LOVE IT!!!

[@D.A.Hanks14]

For those of you criticizing her acting abilities, not everyone is born an actor or actress and doesn't know how to appear onscreen. Last time I looked, this was a cooking recipe, not a tryout for the Golden Globes, although her golden globes look perfect to me. I happen to be a great actor and public speaker, but I do not criticize those who aren't (except for Jeff Gordon. He was horrible in the Pizza Hut commercials and should have stuck with driving). So, unless you have IMDb credits yourself, please do not judge her presentation, okay? Rebecca, if you will show me how to use an air fryer, I will teach you how to speak publicly. I do not expect you to take me up on it, but the offer still stands.

"There was some dude that married into the family named joe"... Ingredients: 2 cups flour 2/3 tablespoon salt 1/2 tablespoon thyme 1/2 tablespoon basil 1/3 tablespoon oregano 1 tablespoon celery salt 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon dry mustard 4 tablespoon paprika (I'll try smoked paprika) 2 tablespoon garlic salt (not garlic powder) 1 tablespoon ground ginger 3 tablespoons white pepper .... "and you might want to toss it like a salad"... lol Spicy Option: I add some cayenne pepper to spice things up. I also mix some of the seasoning along with a little franks red hot hotsauce into the buttermilk and marinate overnight. Double Dip! - Pull chicken out of marinade and dip in the flour mixture let set for a minute or two. Then dip the chicken a second time into your buttermilk and then the flour again. You will thank me later :) Spray the chicken with some oil before you put it in the air fryer, and check half way through. Flip your chicken and spray any areas that you see white flour again with the oil. *also, don't use metal utensils on the non-stick air fryer basket. Go with silicone tongs or something.
