    KFC Fried Chicken

    Fried chicken is one of the most requested recipe on my blog. I wanted to make it for quite sometime. Finally I made it last sunday and it was super duper hit. The chicken was so tasty. It was crispy and juicy and so moist and flavourful.

    About KFC Chicken

    KFC (also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken) is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky that specializes in fried chicken. It is the world's second-largest restaurant chain (as measured by sales) after McDonald's, with 22,621 locations globally in 150 countries as of December 2019. 

    KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression. 

    KFC's original product is pressure fried chicken pieces, seasoned with Sanders' recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The constituents of the recipe are a trade secret. Larger portions of fried chicken are served in a cardboard "bucket", which has become a feature of the chain since it was first introduced by franchisee Pete Harman in 1957. 

    What Makes KFC Chicken So Special?

    "KFC fried chicken tastes good because it is formulated to taste good. It has a secret combination of spices and herbs which makes it more flavourful. Also the pressure cooked process makes the chicken cook juicy and crispy.

    Even though KFC secret recipe has been revealed and leaked all over the internet. it is not evident if it is the correct method.

    KFC Fried Chicken Secret Ingredients

    Chicken 

    Chicken has to be with skin on and bone in. The skin is what makes the chicken so crispy and moist. Also the bone in chicken turns out super juicy than boneless.

    Dry Ingredients | Flour

    The flour added in the chicken is plain flour and corn flour. Both the flour adds crispy texture to the chicken. The cornflour adds crunchy texture to the chicken.

    Cornflakes 

    This is my own addition to the chicken to make it super crispy. The chicken taste so crunchy with an addition of cornflakes. This is optional.


    Spices for Chicken

    Mixture of many spices and herbs are added for the kfc flavour. Spices like garlic powder, onion Powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, Dried Basil, Paprika, Black Pepper, Salt

    Binding Ingredients

    Eggs and milk are used as binding for the chicken. The wet ingredients is what help the dry ingredients stick to the chicken.

    Oil

    Use extra oil for frying the chicken. Deep frying is what recommended in this recipe. Use flavourless oil like canola, vegetable oil or refined oil.

      i was shown demo how they make kfc chicken in an outlet once. what they did was, first they dipped the chicken in flour mix. then they quickly dipped it in water and dipped it again in the same flour mix. this way, the water droplets become the flakes we see. the process has to be quick to get good number of flakes. u can try that instead of corn flakes.
