Does anybody have the original recipe for Kentucky Fried Ch?

[HIGHAM13]

Help please: I am looking for the original Kentucky Fried Chicken
recipe.
Thank You,

[Anonymous]

I don't have an original recipe for it , but I had a newsletter years ago and they used a package of Italian dressing mix, the dry one you mix with oil and vinegar. Just use the dry mix added in the flour to coat your chicken. Also KFC pressure cooks their chicken first and then fries it. This I know because my brother worked there.

[HIGHAM13]

Dear Guest,
Thank you VERY MUCH! I had heard that GOOD SEASONS is used
and also that the chicken was put in a pressure cooker. I just
wasn't sure how to go about it.
Thank you again,
Angel

[HIGHAM13]

Dear Guest or Anyone,
Is the chicken coated with flour and salad dressing before
pressure cooking or before frying?
Thanks,
Angel

No you coat the chicken in the flour and seasoning mix after you pressure cook it. Mix the flour and seasoning mix together then dip your chicken in it. I would let it air dry for about 30 min before I fried it to let the coating set up so it doesnt all come off while cooking.

No they do not pressure cook it and then fry it. It is fried in a pressure cooker. I use to be a KFC mgr. And I cooked ton's of chicken. And I still eat it today.

[rhodry69]

how do you pressure cook the chicken?

[rhodry69]

how do you pressure cook the chicken?

[chefphronc]

Place 6 cups of Crisco shortening into your pressure cookerand heat on
medium till shortening reaches 400F. Place coated chicken, 4 or 5 pieces
at a time into shortening and lock lid. When pressure builds up cook for
10 minutes.

Follow manufacturers instructions for your pressure cooker to release!

[rhodry69]

thank you. is it safe to deep fry in the pressure cooker?

[chefphronc]

I would assume so, I got this information from a recipe for
KFC Original Chicken I have. Personally I don"t own a pressure
cooker and have never tried this method.

My best advice would be to consult the manufacturer's manual
that came with your pressure cooker.

Salt, salt, and more salt. Soak it in a salt brine, add plenty of salt to flour, and a little bit of pepper,and then fry. Just check out the health facts for each KFC piece of chicken. It will scare you.

1 whole chicken cut into ten pcs. or ten whole legs with skin
3 eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
salt, black pepper, garlic powder, adjinomotto

Procedure:

Thoroughly clean the chicken by rubbing salt and wash through running water. Then cut it into ten pcs. Marinate it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder and adjinomotto for 5-6 hrs or overnight to have a better taste. But if you are in a hurry you can also marinate for 1-2 hrs. Place the chicken in a deep pot, put 2 cups of water and boiled it for 10 minutes. Do not over boiled coz chicken will be seperated from the bone. Drain the broth and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, beat 3 eggs 1/2 cup of water then add 1 cup of all purpose flour, mix it well into a creamy batter. Heat the oil using wok or deep frying pan. Deep the chicken pcs into the batter mix and fry it till golden brown. Your fire must be moderate so your chicken will be cook insde. Serve it with french fries and KFC Gravy or Ketsup

[Peggy Sanders]

Thanks for the recipes. A few of you are correct. It is cooked
in a pressure cooker. NOT FRIED AT ALL.
That's why the restaurant is now called KFC, not Kenturcky Fried Chicken.
Someone 'sued' them because they used the word 'Fried' in their
name and the chicken was not fried....it's pressure cooked.

There are a variety of KFC recipe clones circulating the net....RD's e-book entitled "America's Most Wanted Recipes" has a great recipe for "The Colonel's Chicken" ....I bought the book...and I must say, it's a great buy. I won't post it, as that would be a disservice to Ron....this is how the man makes part of his living! Actually, I think the book is undervalued...and I say this freely....I have no vested interest in Ron's publication. It's just a great buy. My family has enjoyed many of the recipe titles. So, show your support and head to www.recipesecrets.net home page. There is a link there. Anti-up, and you can download your recipe book immediately...no waiting...no hassle. If your doubtful...follow the link and see some of what's included. If you choose not to pirchase the ebook...then your missing out ona great deal. Like I said...the book is undervalued and I think RD should be charging more! I'd still buy it!

I too have been desperately looking for the recipe for KFC's original recipe chicken. I've purchased Todd Wilbur's book of recipes and it's not in the one I purchased nor the one I rented from the library. While visiting this website I noticed a rotten person calling himself B-Man bragging that he's tasted the recipe from RecipeSecrets.net and won't share it because he wants the rest of us to pay!! When I look at this website I can't wait to share the tried and true recipes that will make other's happy. B-man is one of those selfish guys that can't stand to see someone happy unless he thinks they've paid enough.

[b-man]

Well BACKONLINE 123...why don't you step out from behind the anonymity of guest? I won't share the recipe quite simply for the previously stated reasons....also the contents of the book are copyright! Are you intelligent enough to understand that. You are welcome to your opinion, but have a look at the number of posts that I've made as an attempt to share with others....I don't make a dime off of RD's book nor the recipes that I've posted....so how do you equate that with never being satisified until people have paid enough....and that I'm selfish? It is plain to see that your just a free loader...looking for something and expecting to receive it token gratis. No doubt you've scabbed many reciopes without even extending the common courtesy of posting a thank you to the contributor....so now who is the selfish one. And as for bragging about the recipes in the book...you're way offside...I stated that my family had enjoyed many of the recipes...THAT I PAID FOR !!! Get a grip...better yet get a life and move on to some other site, moron!

Here you go, from Todd Wilbur




KFC Original Recipe Fried Chicken


6 cups Crisco cooking oil
1 egg beaten
2 cups milk
2 cups all purpose flour
4 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 teaspoon MSG (monosodium glutamate-you can use Accent Flavor Enhancer)
2 frying chickens with skin, each cut into 8 pieces

Pour the oil into the pressure cooker and heat over medium heat to about 400 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine the egg and milk.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining four dry ingredients.
Dip each piece of chicken into the milk until fully moistened.
Roll the moistened chicken in the flour mixture until completely coated.
In groups of four or five, drop the covered chicken pieces into the oil and lock the lid in place.
When steam begins shooting through the pressure release, set the timer for 10 minutes.
After ten minutes, release the pressure according to manufacturer's instructions, and remove the chicken paper towels on metal rack to drain. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Makes 12 pieces

Tidbits
If you prefer not to use MSG, you may substitute an additional 1/2-tablespoon of salt. Be aware, however, that using MSG produces the best clone of KFC's Fried Chicken.

KFC Extra Tasty Crispy Chicken

by Todd Wilbur



1 whole frying chicken, cut up
6-8 cups vegetable oil

Marinade
4 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon MSG (see Tidbit)

Coating

1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon MSG


1. Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces. Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the water, salt and MSG for the marinade in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl and let it sit for 20 minutes. Turn the chicken a couple times as it marinates.
3. Combine the beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients (flour, salt, pepper and MSG).
4. When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off. Working with one piece at a time, first coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, then the egg and milk mixture, and then back into the flour. Be sure that each piece is coated very generously. Stack the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated.
5. Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot oil. Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly.
6. Remove the chicken to a rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.

Serves 3-4 (8 pieces of chicken).

MSG is Monosodium Glutamate, the solid form of a natural amino acid found in many vegetables. It can be found in stores in the spice sections and as the brand name Accent flavor enhancer. MSG is an important component of many KFC items.

4. As the gravy is reducing prepare the potatoes by combining 1 1/2 cups of water, 1/3 cup of milk, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then remove the pan from heat. Add the potato flakes, and whip with a fork until fluffy.

Whoa backonline123...boy did you miss the point. Go back and re-read the post from bman. Then I would suggest you go to a site that explains about copyright law, about which you obviously know nothing. If you are going to shoot off your mouth you should at least know what you are talking about. You can't be that bright if you paid good money for a book that didn't have the recipe you were looking for..duh.The KFC recipe IS in one of the Todd Wilbur books and I know which one. You shouldn't bother looking for recipes anyway, because someone with your attitude most likely is not a good cook. People with a true passion for food and cookbooks and recipe sharing, like bman and the rest of us registered on this site, treat people with respect
JoanieCooks

[b-man]

Thanks JoanieCooks...appreciate your support. Hopefully some of our other members and guests alike will post support. As you indicate...BACKONLINE missed the point...totally! I've said my peace and will not entertain any further dialogue with this GUEST who appears to be cognitively challenged. Regards,

[admin]

Easy Folks. Let's all refrain from name calling.

Keep in mind two things:

1) You must post a recipe before you request one.
2) No guest using this forum is ananomous to the Admin.

[b-man]

You are absolutely right, Ron.

I'll take the first step and be a gentleman about this. I apologise to our Guest, BACKONLINE123, and retract referring to you as a moron and as cognitively challenged... Indeed, I have no way of supporting these assertions. The balance of my points remain. Your unfair, unjust and untrue assertions that you vaulted at me, raised the ire, in my Irish blood. As for not sharing the KFC recipe, which I noted was copyright from RD's book... I will still not post. Perhaps you should ask Ron yourself for the recipe...if he gives it to you...well your away to the races, as the expression goes. And if not, I guess you'll have to anti up and buy the book! Other views are welcome. Regards,

B-man

[JoanieCooks]

Yes, Ron, you are right and I too will say a sorry to backonline123. I should not have assumed to know the level of knowledge that backonline has in regards to copyright law, book purchasing and cooking. The comments 'got my Irish up' as well.
