KFC ORIGINAL SECRET CHICKEN!!!

 

When I was a kid, a bucket of KFC was a huge treat. It is one of those “nostalgic” foods. I remember craving KFC one day and couldn’t get it out of my head. We live far away from a KFC, or any fried chicken place, so I did what I do best – I went down a rabbit-hole of recipes and articles to find the closest copycat recipe possible. It paid off because I found an article with a picture of a handwritten list of spices that was the mix used for KFC. The only thing not on the list was MSG but the article mentioned that it was part of the mix just not listed as a spice.
Now, don’t run because of the MSG. It does elevate the flavor to match KFC but if you cannot have MSG, then leaving it out is okay; or you can let each person sprinkle some on their pieces of chicken. Either way, you will still have fantastic fried chicken.

I’ve made homemade fried chicken many times, but this changed everything and now I won’t make it any other way. Give it a try and I am sure you will be amazed, and your family will be thrilled!
