Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 tablespoon dried basil leaves
1/3 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried mustard
3 tablespoons paprika ((original recipe calls for 4 tablespoons))
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons ground white pepper
2 teaspoons Accent Seasoning (, optional (I left this out))
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 chicken (, cut into 10 pieces (2 wings, 2 legs, 2 thighs and 2 breasts each cut in half to make 4 breast pieces))
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

Add the spices to a small food processor until they're all uniform in size and the thyme, basil and oregano aren't larger in size anymore.
Add the flour in a bowl with all the herbs and spices and mix with a whisk.
In a second larger bowl add the buttermilk and egg together and whisk until combined.
Add the chicken to the buttermilk mixture for 20-30 minutes.
Remove chicken from the buttermilk soak and let any excess buttermilk drip off.
Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture on all sides, then shake off the excess coating.
Let it rest on a cookie sheet for 20-30 minutes.
Add oil to a deep fryer or a large pot that is at least 5 inches high so that the chicken can be fully submerged.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees and fry in small batches for 15-18 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the oil and add to a drying rack on top of a clean cookie sheet.
If you add it to a paper towel or newspaper the bottom of the chicken will steam from the heat and become soft.

Categories Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon ground thyme
½ tablespoon basil
⅓ tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
4 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons ground white pepper
½ teaspoon Accent flavor enhancer (MSG) (optional)
1 whole chicken
1 egg (beaten)
1 cup full-fat buttermilk
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

Cut the chicken into breast, thigh, leg, and wing pieces.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and all of the seasonings.
In a large bowl, add buttermilk and beaten egg. Stir or whisk to combine.
Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture.
Soak the chicken for about 30 minutes.
Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
To bread the chicken, remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off excess.
Place each piece into the flour mixture.
Coat the chicken fully and then shake off all of the excess flour.
Place the chicken onto the wire rack.
Bread all of the chicken. The breaded chicken should rest for about 15 minutes before frying.
Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep fryer. If you do not have a deep fryer you should use a Dutch oven and fill it half full of vegetable shortening. If you are using a Dutch oven, use a thermometer to make sure the temperature is maintained at 350 degrees. If the temperature drops too low, the breading will become greasy.
Cook the chicken in 2 or 3 batches. The breasts and thighs will take about 15 to 18 minutes to cook. The wings and legs will take about 12 to 13 minutes to cook.
Drain the fried chicken on a clean wire rack on top of a baking sheet.

KFC ORIGINAL RECIPE BREADING MIX (COPYCAT)

KFC Original Recipe Breading Mix (Copycat) image

My reverse-engineered recipe for replicating KFC's 'Original Recipe' chicken breading mix. Yields one batch fried chicken (8-10 pieces, or up to 16 drumsticks). For a bulk mix of this same recipe for quick and easy breading, use Recipe #453973. Follow link to Recipe #393795 for complete brining, preparation and frying instructions. PLEASE NOTE: The Nutritional Information listing here is inaccurate -- since only a fraction of flour and salt actually end up in the finished product. So be aware -- the suggested sodium, sugar, carb and calorie levels are ridiculously exaggerated!

Yield 1 batch seasoning mix, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

5 teaspoons nonfat dry milk powder
1 1/2 tablespoons fine sea salt
2 teaspoons egg white powder (cornstarch okay)
1 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
5 teaspoons ground peppercorns (3 tsps black, plus 2 tsps white)
2 teaspoons ground dalmatian sage
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon ground savory
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground vanilla bean
2 cups unbleached bread flour

Steps:

NOTES: FOR AUTHENTIC RESULTS, PREPARE RECIPE EXACTLY AS DIRECTED. MSG (ACCENT SEASONING) IS IN THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL RECIPE, BUT MAY BE OMITTED IF NECESSARY. EGG WHITE POWDER IS SOLD IN HEALTH FOOD STORES. YOU MAY SUBSTITUTE EGG WHITE POWDER WITH CORNSTARCH. FINELY GRIND REQUIRED HERBS AND SPICES SEPARATELY IN A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER. USE A PEPPER MILL TO MEDIUM-GRIND TELLICHERRY PEPPERCORNS. I RECOMMEND MCCORMICK BRAND TELLICHERRY BLACK PEPPER AND GROUND GINGER, SPICE ISLANDS BRAND GROUND SAGE AND CARDAMOM, SPICE APPEAL BRAND GROUND SAVORY, AND WILLIAMS-SONOMA BRAND GROUND TAHITIAN VANILLA BEAN.
MEASURE the BASE MIXTURE and 11 SECRET HERBS AND SPICES into a large re-sealable container.
BREAK up any clumps (and dry milk powder) using the back of a spoon.
SEAL the container.
SHAKE container to mix well.
STORE container sealed and store in a cool dry place.
WHEN ready to use, combine seasoning mixture with the 2 cups unbleached breading flour into a large re-sealable container.
SEAL the container with flour and seasoning; SHAKE well until thoroughly combined.
FOLLOW link to Recipe #393795 for complete brining, preparation and frying instructions (skipping its STEP #3 since you've already done this).
ENJOY!
