THE KFC BUCKET OF FRIED CHICKEN...BUT HOMEMADE & WAY BETTER! | SAM THE COOKING GUY

I worked at a KFC as my first job. Brined and tenderized in a tumbler. Tumbled for 20 mins, marinating for 24 hrs. It’s pressure cooked in a fryer. Rinse in water before breading, bread once for regular or repeat for extra crispy. No dairy, no buttermilk. No eggs.

@@nickygepetto6684 Privet Nicky, it looks impressive, but seriously I DOUBT our fav Colonel Sanders had (the time he lived) all the methodology of chemical extraction, products such as "dried egg whites" (developed decades later), Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Extractives of Annatto, Monocalcium Phosphate (actually a component of *fertilizers* ), I doubt those years were "Onion and Garlic POWDER", Monosodium Glutamate, etc. It is advertised that he used 11 "Herbs & Spices", not dextrose! Perhaps NOW I understand why KFC just does not taste the same as few decades ago! Many of my comrades and I noticed a definite difference in taste at some point.

[@schrodingerscat1863]

This looks pretty good, personally I always add some corn starch to the flour and let the flour set up on the chicken for 20 minutes before dipping in the buttermilk that way it stays stuck to the chicken better when it goes into the frier. I also do 2 runs through the coating process to build up a really nice thick coating. 😋

Great tip-👌Thanks! 🌟

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

I know, I said where's the corn starch? Add a little baking powder too. Then you get the KFC Popeye's Church's crust. Double run as Paul says for extra thick & crispy.

Great looking chicken! I have to say though I worked at KFC as a teenager in the 1990s, and it is not just the special recipe that makes KFC's chicken so good, but the pressure cooker fryers that do their magic. I have tried for three decades to mimic KFC's pressure cooking fryers using the same method you did and it is impossible. It really does make the perfect chicken every time.

Very well done, Sam! Fun fact...Back in the early '80's, before the great healthy eating kick, I worked at KFC in a small town in Ontario, Canada. We used Tenderflake lard in the cookers, not vegetable oil... The chicken was much better and more flavourable than today's offerings. Take care and all the very best to you and your family.

I always heard the Colonel traveled high and low pushing his chicken because the difference was pressure cooking it before dredging (afd some corn starch for added crisp). I've done this extra step for years, and yes, it is better and fry time cut in half.

[@ArizonaVideo99]

Its called Broasting. It holds the moisture in and because the moisture mostly remains in the meat the oil does not replace it. It is just better than deep frying. Believe it or not Albertersons does this with their chicken and it cheep.

[@gudlaugurrobertsson7623]

As an ex kfc cook. We always folded the wing . Like pulling someones arm behind his back. It makes the smallest piece a bit denser so while the whole batch cooks it wont overcook while the bigger pieces are undone.

[@ronchu4453]

good tip

[@lancebeasley8509]

Having worked at KFC in my teen years, two points. Part of the prep of KFC is to break the joint in the thigh. A little bend and you feel it pop. We were told it helps it to cook more completely in that area. Other part is the wing fold. This is difficult to explain, but you can see it with a cooked wing. The wing tip, middle wing and upper wing. Fold the tip a little backwards and under the upper wing. Keeps it tidy as shown at 1:30 in Sam's video. Both the breaking of the thigh joint and the wing fold we were expected to be able to do one handed with either hand so we could load the cooking baskets faster. - I am anxious to try Sam's recipe. Looks amazing!

[@mcpbaa3000]

More info. I was taught to pull up the skin on the leg up before placing it in the fryer. And by fryer, I mean pressure cooker. As I remember, the breasts were dropped first along with the keel (yes I'm old), then the thighs, legs, and wings. After proper browning the lid was closed and the timer was set for 13 minutes.

I worked at KFC back in the day. They actually (used to) have three cuts from the breast section. 2 ribs and a breast (the part with the white bone). I don't know what they're doing now, but I think they're cutting the chicken into more parts and giving you less chicken, because you can't make sense of the pieces anymore. I stopped buying chicken there because of that. It's nothing but corporate greed.

[@rbielarski]

Yes, we just ordered a bucket from there after years of eating popeyes and were very disappointed. Some pieces were unrecognizable & we did not even get any breasts. It also did not taste the same as I remember from 5-10 years ago. (Original recipe) I'll stick w/Popeyes or make our own.

I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3 Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving, caring Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image. I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people? I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true. Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully. My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is incredibly eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He only wants the best for you and your well being. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. The Lord will lift us up in our trials and use us to bless the lives of those around us if we are willing to change. If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up. You are my friends. The Lord loves you and despite all our weaknesses and shortcomings, he still loves us and will forgive us if we will humble ourselves before Him and diligently seek correction and do whatever is needed to repent. Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what the truth is and what is not the truth. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome and conquer your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that The Lord will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist, overcome and conquer them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You have incredible potential. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side. It simply would not be the same without you. Thank you for your time.

I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3 Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving, caring Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image. I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people? I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true. Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully. My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is incredibly eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He only wants the best for you and your well being. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. The Lord will lift us up in our trials and use us to bless the lives of those around us if we are willing to change. If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up. You are my friends. The Lord loves you and despite all our weaknesses and shortcomings, he still loves us and will forgive us if we will humble ourselves before Him and diligently seek correction and do whatever is needed to repent. Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what the truth is and what is not the truth. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome and conquer your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that The Lord will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist, overcome and conquer them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You have incredible potential. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side. It simply would not be the same without you. Thank you for your time.

Sam its been about 28yrs since i worked at KFC but you bought original recipe then made a similar version of the extra tasty crispy. The original is cooked in a pressure cooker with single breading of the secret recipe. The extra tasty crispy is first marinated for 24hrs then double breaded and cooked in an open frier. Great show as always except that time you did the backwards show lol.

[@adamloomos]

Is there a chance you'd be willing to make a video showing how you make stock with the extras? Maybe a delicious chicken noodle soup from start to finish?

[@theresadesjardins4285]

I'm making this tonight for supper. Hope it turns out as good as yours. I don't have all your spices but I have some, thyme, garlic powder, sage, paprika. Hope it's good. I will let you know. 😁

[@oliversmom9509]

Growing up in the 50's, my mom fried everything. Neck, back( 2 pcs) gizzards, liver. All of it. Rolled in flour with salt and pepper. Nothing like it. I think the chicken itself now doesn't taste as good. The chickens back then social distanced lol

1. How much flour do you use for the dry bowl? 2. How hot is the oil when you fry the chicken?

[@MJkatzTheWriter]

DJJunBuggIQI...I know you didn't ask me but I saw your question that you posted a month ago with no reply given. So maybe my info could be of help. At least I hope so. :) Because it was a 4 1/2 pound chicken, my guess is Sam used approximately 4 cups of flour and set his oil temperature between 350 to 365 degrees Farenheit. Any hotter and the outside of the chicken will cook while leaving the meat closest to the bone still raw, especially with the thick pieces. In the 1950"s and '60's my mom would first parboil her cut-up chicken (cook it about half-way) in a pot of boiling seasoned water. Then she'd take the pieces out, pat each one dry, and continue with the regular frying routine that Sam showed here. And she always added cornstarch to her seasoned flour. She made the BEST fried chicken! YUM!! Lol.

[@rickytatum4058]

Sam always shows that most fast food does everything wrong while what he does is always better. His KFC is much better because of the laudable crunch.

Looks absolutely beautiful !! Love that crunch! Bravo 👏🏼

[@Medium0Rare]

I almost never do double dip batter on my fried chicken. That's the way I learned to do it from KZbin and Pinterest, but one day I got lazy and just did flour... it tasted just like my grandmother used to make. The double dip just makes the fry too thick. Muck lighter and crispier with just a bit of flower and no dredge.

[@TheWestlandgirl]

Its how I learned too from my Grandmother. Tastes better to me.

Back in the early 1990s, my father decided he was going to make KFC's original recipe chicken at home. He actually hit it on the head. I don't remember and I don't know if he wrote it down but it really did taste exactly like real KFC original recipe chicken. My mom would just buy KFC to keep him from destroying kitchen. HE sure could cook though.

It's therapeutic to say the least. Lol. I watch all of your videos and love them all. Even though I'm a picky eater I'm never NOT salivating while watching you make your food. It's also important that my 4 kids get to see you cook cause I'm the chef in my house and they used to say only girls cook. That changed when they watched your videos with me. I also got my STCG Cast Iron pan and I'm so excited to use it!!! Keep up the fantastic videos and hilarious banter!

The chicken does look great. But, I would also try a 3rd liquid dip and repeat the dry with a Pankow / and flavoured bread added to the flour on last crumb dip. Italian seasoned bread crumbs. The bread crumb also has a little Parmesan cheese so some may just like the Pankow/ Fish/ chicken mix, Depending if you like that hint of flavours.

Black Pepper and Salt are by far the most dominant spices in the Colonel's recipe. If anyone knows what matters next please share. I can't find a combination that matters much compared to plain old salt and pepper. But I'm open to suggestions. Seems like Sam dropped about ten bucks worth of spices on that flour dredge. I just don't have that kind of capitol to invest in a chicken dinner...(smiley face).

[@RasheedKhan-he6xx]

Interesting! I like to think I make a decent fried chicken but my process is way more time consuming than yours. I brine for 24h but my brine is part marinade as it's loaded up, my flour mix has 20% cornflour 10% breadcrumbs, I use a fewer spices, my intermediate dip is just beaten eggs (my brine includes yoghurt and aromatics so tangyness and flavors go deep inside) and then I fry slowly at medium to render the fats from the skin under the coating and make it more crispy and finally I finish off in the oven to make sure I hit the internal temps. Compared to all that your recipe looks like a total winner. Will try it this weekend!

[@jameszimmerman6430]

To get a perfect cut on the leg/thigh have it skin side down, cut through the fat line and you have a perfect cut every time. I would use season salt. Would it be better if you marinated it in buttermilk for awhile? I've never tried it, but I've heard that buttermilk ranch dressing is good.
