BULK KFC ORIGINAL RECIPE SEASONING (COPYCAT)

Bulk KFC Original Recipe Seasoning (Copycat) image

My reverse-engineered recipe for replicating KFC's 'Original Recipe' chicken breading seasoning. Yields enough seasoning for 6 batches fried chicken or 12 batches Kentucky Fried Pork Chops. Mix 1/2 level cup of this blend with 2 cups unbleached breading flour for frying one fryer chicken or up to 16 drumsticks. Follow KFC Original Recipe Chicken (Copycat) for brining, preparation and frying instructions.

Ingredients

2/3 cup fine sea salt (level)
5 tablespoons Accent seasoning
4 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
3 tablespoons egg white powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 cup ground tellicherry black pepper (level)
6 tablespoons seasoned mild chili powder
3 tablespoons jamaican ground ginger
2 1/2 tablespoons dalmatian ground sage
2 tablespoons ground winter savory
1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon hickory smoke salt
1/2 tablespoon ground anise seed
1/2 tablespoon ground cloves
1/2 tablespoon ground mace
1/2 tablespoon ground tarragon

Steps:

NOTES: PREPARE RECIPE EXACTLY AS DIRECTED. DO NOT OMIT ACCENT SEASONING (IT LENDS THE AUTHENTIC SWEET FLAVOR). EGG WHITE POWDER IS SOLD IN HEALTH FOOD STORES. FINELY GRIND REQUIRED HERBS AND SPICES SEPARATELY IN A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER. USE A PEPPER MILL TO MEDIUM-GRIND TELLICHERRY PEPPERCORNS. GRIND DALMATIAN SAGE TO A FINE POWDER. I RECOMMEND MCCORMICK BRAND TELLICHERRY BLACK PEPPER AND DALMATIAN SAGE, GERHARDT BRAND CHILI POWDER, AND MARION-KAY BRAND GROUND GINGER, GROUND (WINTER) SAVORY, AND HICKORY SMOKE SEASONING. WINTER SAVORY MAY BE SUBSTITUTED WITH THE FOLLOWING BLEND (GRIND INGREDIENTS IN A SPICE MILL, THEN USE 2 TABLESPOONS): 1/2 tablespoon ground chamomile, 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander, 1/2 tablespoon ground parsley, 1/2 tablespoon ground rosemary, 1/2 tablespoon ground thyme, 3/4 teaspoon ground dried lemon peel, 3/4 teaspoon 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.
SHAKE container to mix well.
STORE container sealed and store in a cool dry place.
WHEN ready to use, measure 1/2 level cup of this mixture plus 2 cups unbleached breading flour into a large re-sealable container.
SEAL the container with flour and seasoning; SHAKE well until thoroughly combined.
