The other day I stopped by KFC to get a few pieces of chicken. I hadn’t eaten there for years and I was really looking forward to a delicious meal. The colonel did not disappoint! So I got to thinking if there was a way I could make the exact same chicken at home. There are many different KFC style recipes on the internet but this is the one I’ve decided to try. I will let you know how it turned out.

 

 

Ingredients required for KFC original fried chicken recipe are as follows

1.      1 full chicken

Purchase a good fryer if you can. Do not choose one which is already nicely chopped and wrapped in plastic. Use a fresh one. Cut it into smaller pieces for frying. Cut the chicken into nine pieces- two legs, two thighs, two ribs, two wings and the breast. If you are not sure of how to cut these pieces, you can get some expert help, or have your butcher do it.

1.      150 grams of all purpose flour, mixed with “secret” spices, as listed below. This gives the KFC original fried chicken its crispiness. KFC is famous for its extra crispy recipes. It has its own patented cooking appliances. Check the list below for 11 secret herbs in KFC’s original fried chicken.

2.      1 can of Tomato Soup.

3.      2 eggs
The eggs not only provide flavor to the chicken but also help the spiced flour adhere. If you do not add eggs, the flour may not stick to the chicken. The eggs give a good flavor to the chicken and make it sticky enough for plenty of seasoned flour batter to stick to.”

4.      2/3 cup of milk
Milk provides required amount of moisture to the fried chicken.

5.      Vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a frying pan, about 1/2 inch deep

The 11 secret herbs in KFC’s original fried chicken recipe are as follows

1.      1/3 tablespoon of salt

2.      1/3 tablespoon of oregano

3.      2 tablespoon of garlic salt

4.      1/2 tablespoon of thyme

5.      1 tablespoon of ground ginger

6.      1/2 tablespoon of basil

7.      1 tablespoon of celery salt

8.      1 tablespoon of black pepper

9.      1 tablespoon of dry mustard

10.  4 tablespoon of paprika

11.  2 tablespoon of Mono Sodium Glutamate (Accent)

Read the steps and you can easily learn.

1.      Take a bowl and beat the eggs thoroughly with the help of rotary eggbeater. Pour the milk into the beaten eggs and whisk the eggs and milk to blend them.

2.      In another bowl mix the flour and soup.

3.      Dip the chicken pieces in the egg and milk batter. Make sure the batter covers the chicken completely. To get the perfect marinade and to allow time for the milk to make the chicken juicy inside, soak it for 12 hours.

4.      Then roll it in the flour mixture to coat it completely.

5.      Repeat the above two step to make it extra crispy.

6.      Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the chicken pieces in the frying pan on a low frame. KFC uses pressure fryers for this, to ensure the perfection of its chicken delicacies. Cook for 20-30 minutes, turning frequently, until golden-brown.

7.      Place the fried chicken pieces on a paper towel to drain the oil.

Serve it with gravy for better flavor.

 

Enjoy!

I, Gordon McSherry, have this baby in the crock pot right now!

Pot Roast Recipe

  • Cook time: 4 hours

In order for this recipe to work properly, let the roast sit (wrapped) for one to two hours outside of the refrigerator so that it comes to room temperature (between 65 and 70°F) before cooking. Otherwise, it will take a lot longer to cook at the low heat called for in this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 lb of beef shoulder or boneless chuck roast (look for a piece that is well marbled with fat for best results)
  • 2 Tbsp olive or grapeseed oil
  • Salt, pepper, italian seasoning to taste
  • 2 large yellow onions, thickly sliced, lengthwise (root to tip), about 4 cups sliced onion
  • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 cup of red wine
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Several carrots, peeled and cut lengthwise

Method

pot-roast-2011-1.jpgpot-roast-2011-2.jpg

1 Use a thick-bottomed covered pot (oven-proof if you intend to cook in oven), such as a dutch oven, just large enough to hold roast and vegetables. Heat 2 Tbsp of oil on medium high heat (hot enough to sear the meat). Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Sprinkle and rub salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning all over the meat. Brown roast in pot, all over, several minutes on each side. Don’t move the roast while a side is browning, or it won’t brown well.

pot-roast-2011-3.jpgpot-roast-2011-4.jpg
pot-roast-2011-5.jpgpot-roast-2011-6.jpg

2 When roast is browned, remove from pan and set on a plate. Add the onions to the pan and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, until they begin to brown. Add the garlic and carrots to sit on top of the onions. Set the roast on top of the onions, garlic and carrots. Add 1/2 cup of red wine. Add the bay leaf. Cover. Bring to simmer and then adjust the heat down to the lowest heat possible to maintain a low simmer when covered (we cook our roast on the warm setting of our electric range)*. If cooking in the oven, start the temp at 300°F for 15 minutes, then drop it to 200°F.

3 Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or longer, until meat is tender. (If you are using a pressure cooker, cut the time by half).

pot-roast-2011-7.jpg
After cooking 3 1/2 hours. Note how much liquid has been released by the meat. This comes from slow cooking at a very low temperature. If your pot roast is too dry, make sure the pan you are using has a tight fitting lid and that you are cooking at the lowest possible heat to maintain the low simmering.

Suggest serving with green beans and potatoes

*If you use a gas range, you may find difficulty getting the flame low enough. A tip I recently read in Cook’s Illustrated suggests tightly rolling up some aluminum foil, shaping it into a skinny donut, and putting that on top of the burner to create a little more distance between the range and the pan. If you have one of those high BTU ranges, I recommend cooking the roast in the oven instead.

Yield: Serves 4-5.

Enjoy!

These sound yummy!

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet; cook the chicken strips over high heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until cooked. Drain and serve.

Add the onion, garlic and chile peppers to the oil in the pan and sauté over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers and zucchini; cook over high heat for 4 minutes, or until the vegetables have begun to have a blackened look around the edges.

Return the chicken to the pan and heat until sizzling hot. Serve right away, with warm tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, sliced green onions, and chopped tomatoes. Serve with hot cooked rice and refried beans, if desired.

Enjoy!
