Colonel Sanders' nephew casually revealed to a reporter a recipe that had been passed down in a family scrapbook.
Could
this be KFC's closely guarded secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices? The
nephew, Joe Ledington, said it is. He claims his job as a kid was to
mix this same recipe in large batches.
Here are the ingredients you'll need:
- Chicken parts of your choice
- Celery salt
- Dried Mustard
- White pepper
- Garlic salt
- Paprika
- Ground ginger
- Basil
- Salt
- Thyme
- Oregano
- Black pepper
Here are the instructions:
Prepare
oil in a cast-iron pot to fry. In a bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 1/3 tbsp
of salt, 1 tbsp of black pepper, 1/2 tbsp of thyme, 1/2 tbsp of basil,
1/3 tbsp of oregano, 1 tbsp celery salt, 1 tbsp of dried mustard, 4 tbsp
of paprika, 1 tbsp of garlic salt, 1 tbsp of ground ginger, and 1 tbsp
of white pepper.
In
a separate bowl, add milk and an egg and beat. Mix your chicken into
the bowl, and then coat the chicken in the flour & spice mix.
Finally, fry the chicken in the pot for 10 to 15 minutes. Let it cool and then serve.
