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.

ENJOY!

Steps:

NOTES: DO NOT OMIT OR SUBSTITUTE ANY HERB OR SPICE UNLESS SPECIFIED. IF YOU MUST OMIT NONFAT DRY MILK OR EGG WHITE POWDER, REPLACE THEM EQUALLY WITH UNBLEACHED BREAD FLOUR, TO MAINTAIN PORTION RATIOS. DO NOT OMIT ACCENT SEASONING, AS IT LENDS AN AUTHENTIC FLAVOR.

GROUND FINE HERBS (FINES HERBES) MAY BE MADE BY BLENDING EQUAL PORTIONS OF GROUND CHERVIL, CHIVES, PARSLEY, AND TARRAGON. WINTER SAVORY MAY BE SUBSTITUTED WITH THE FOLLOWING BLEND (GRIND INGREDIENTS IN A SPICE MILL): 1/8 teaspoon ground chamomile, 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/8 teaspoon ground parsley, 1/8 teaspoon ground rosemary, 1/8 teaspoon ground thyme, 1 pinch ground dried lemon peel, and 1 pinch ground mint.
MEASURE only the BASE MIXTURE and 11 HERBS AND SPICES ingredients into a large sealable container, such as a GLAD food storage container or a Ziploc bag.
BREAK up any clumps (and dry milk powder) using the back of a spoon.
SEAL the container with mixture.
SHAKE container to mix well.
STORE container sealed and store in a cool dry place if not using right away.
WHEN READY TO USE: Open and add 2 level cups of the unbleached BREADING FLOUR, then seal the container.
SHAKE mixture well until thoroughly combined.
