KFC OVEN BAKED "FRIED" CHICKEN TENDERS
Crunchy and perfectly seasoned, it really does taste like KFC! It is a mash up of my own recipe, the "11 Secret Herbs and Spices" from the Homemade KFC recipe by Every Nook & Cranny, and the coating recipe from this Best Baked "Fried" Chicken by Carlsbad Cravings.. Marinating makes the chicken extra juicy but if you don't have time to marinate, this is still worth making! (See Note 3) PS I know it looks like a lot of salt but it's not overly salty, it's KFC level salty. Reduce salt and/or celery salt if desired.

- Add the lard to a Dutch oven or pressure fryer and heat to 365 F. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions if using a pressure fryer.
- Using a utensil, lower 4 pieces of the chicken into the hot oil, and if using a pressure fryer, lock the lid in place. Be careful not to burn yourself with the hot oil.
- Allow to fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until the chicken turns golden brown and thoroughly cooks.
- If using a pressure fryer, release the pressure according to the manufacturer's directions. Then, remove the finished chicken to paper towels or a metal rack to drain.
- Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of chicken.

1-2-3 KFC!
This isn't really KFC Original Recipe chicken, but a great "quicker and easier" method for replicating the flavor of it at home, if you have Recipe #453973 on hand. For the full recipe version, see Recipe #393795.

Steps:
- NOTES: IF YOU WISH TO TAKE ADDITIONAL TIME AND STEPS TO BRINE THE CHICKEN, ADD CHICKEN TO 2 QUARTS COLD WATER WITH 2 LEVEL TABLESPOONS MORTON LITE SALT SALT AND 2 TEASPOONS ACCENT SEASONING INTO A LARGE POT. WARM BRINE OVER MEDIUM-LOW HEAT UNTIL ALMOST HOT, THEN BREAD. THIS RECIPE IS FORMULATED FOR A SINGLE APPLICATION OF BREADING. DO NOT "DOUBLE-BREAD" SINCE IT PLACES AN EXCESS OF SODIUM, PEPPER AND SPICES ONTO CHICKEN, WHICH COMPROMISES THE QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY OF FINISHED PRODUCT. BONELESS CHICKEN COOKS IN ONE-THIRD OF THE TIME AS BONE-IN CHICKEN. (STEP ONE): PREHEAT your deep fryer with manufacturer's recommended amount of frying oil to 315°F.
- ROLL wet chicken in blended seasoned flour mixture until well-coated.
- DEEP-FRY in preheated frying oil without crowding until golden and juices run clear (about 15-18 minutes).
