I'm hopping to the store. Give it a whirl and yes. I'm going to fry it in saturated fat oil like in the good ole days. *grin*

I think kfc can have their stupid modern "improved" version for all I care. Its nothing like it was in the 70s.

Its the Cols nephew for godsakes! He's got the original-orginal recipe.

I'm gonna make a bold attempt to go back in culinary time. And let my tastebuds really live again.

I cooked KFC in the 70s. Aside from the secret combination of 11 herbs and spices, the real secret was frying the chicken inside pressure fryers.

I was MONTHS after I quite before I stopped smelling like KFC. Still can only barely stand the stuff.

And the new commercials are just creepy!

I'm sure a food lab could figure out what those 11 herbs were if they really wanted to. You could look for signature compounds of individual herbs in a mass spectrometer. It would be pricey, but I think you could reduce cost with educated guesses. Like maybe pepper?

Have you tried the recipe, and if so, how did it turn out?

From just looking at it, I would expect that amount of white pepper to overpower it, and for the there to be a burning sensation -- at a level I never considered KFC to have. (I might adjust it from 3 tablespoons, to half a tablespoon, or less.)

I had true home cooked fried chicken in Louisiana last year. Far better than anything KFC ever put out, imo Popeyes is even better than KFC.

Kind of fizzled out atm temporarily.

I couldn't find white pepper at my local store and saturated fat is hard to come by, so I'm saving up beef tallow for the oil. Had me time to look at how they actually cooked it ( I think pressure fryers? ) in the old days before they vilified choices of cooking ingredients and forced restraunts to cheapen the taste quality through health mandates by forcing them to use unsaturated oils.

Kinda hoping someone would beat me to it to see how it went.

Not off the table, just waiting for the right moment of inspiration to commit myself to kitchen duty. ;0)

Kfc is horrible now. Their chicken tastes nothing like it used to.

Still a good point. Nothing beats real home cooking.

Just three years ago, KFC was delicious. It had a great balance of spices. Now, it tastes worse that Farm Fresh fried chicken.

Popeyes >>>> KFC

I've made the recipe four times already.

Definitely tastes 100% like the original recipe I remember - of yesteryear.
