Re: kfc original recipe fried chicken
Ron, several years ago, I had a fast food restaurant and we sold a chicken very similar to KFC's. This was possible because the previous owners had a KFC franchise. At one time they had legal problems with KFC and won their case and recived a large amount of money. While the legal battle was on, they sent a batch of the spices to a food manufacturer and they provided a very very similar product that I bought very often. Our recipe was as I remember like this:
2 Chickens cut in 8 or 9 pieces
about 2 lbs. of flour mixed with the batch in a 6:1 relation
First we placed the chicken in cold water for 20 min. then we used to put them in milk with eggs and water, and then twiced in the flour mixed with the spices. After that the chicken was placed in a large pressure cooker fillled up to two thirds with very hot cooking oil, about 350 F and we waited moving around the pieces, until it had a light golden color, after that we closed the lid and cooked under preassure for about 12 minutes.
