The supposedly "leaked KFC" recipe
Discussion
Results:
First batch - tasted great, a bit dry and not enough coating for my liking
Second batch - much more coating this time round, essentially coated and then dumped immediately into the fryer. The first batch left for about 10 mins on the side before frying
Chicken was a bit dry but guess that's down to not having a pressure fryer readily available!
Well worth giving the recipe a try.

By the way, KFC mix is ready, pre-taste (dipped finger) is looking promising so far. Will report back later.

That looks bloody lovely.
I've tried all the so-called 'tricks': the brining, buttermilk, double-dipping in egg...
Nothing comes close to the real thing.
Now if KFC were to offer a premium version, using free-range corn fed chicken rather than the cheapest ste, that would be something I could see myself killing for.
I absolutely adore KFC. It would be my Death Row dinner.
With Krug. (Try it.)

That sounds finger luck in good. If I had an iPad and sat in front of re runs of TG it'd be a good way to go. Gives me an idea for a new thread :-) I've tried all the so-called 'tricks': the brining, buttermilk, double-dipping in egg...

Agree! I think folk would go there a lot more if they had that product.I believe the reason they don't, is they say they simply can't buy enough free range chicken.
Very much a chicken and egg scenario.

It is but it's not the KFC version. I've tried that a few times and as you say, it's not the same so I've gone out on my own.Brined chicken breasts cut into suitable chunks.
Dusted with Lemon Pepper.
Packet batter mix made up with buttermilk and add 2 tbsp of Accent for the obligatory MSG content.
Fry till yummy looking.
Like I said, not KFC but equally as good. Try it sometime MC, you won't be disappointed.

Sure, but _which_ Krug? I'd recommend Clos d’Ambonnay. You're spot on regarding the kfc chicken itself - it's not the finest, and upping the quality there would be awesome. Still, I doubt their average consumer cares, and to do so would be to admit that their standard chicken is steI've tried all the so-called 'tricks': the brining, buttermilk, double-dipping in egg...
