Who has the KFC original recipe recipe?
Only post it if you've tried it and it's the real deal.

>> No.11554995

Nobody. Even KFC itself doesn't know. They just use a lot of MSG and rely on the fact that people who remember the original are either dead or devoid of tastebuds.

>> No.11554997

sure here it is:
flour
salt

the end. please dont tell anyone the real secret is just cooking it in a pressure fryer though.

99-x from Marion-Kay.
It's hard to duplicate the coating due to KFC using pressure-cooker frying, but the flavor is 100% original recipe.

I worked in a kfc as a kid. The secret ingredient is salt. I'm serious. For every on bag of "seasoning" We added another similiar sized bag of salt. If you forget to put in the seasoning, you ended up with off color tasteless but still well fried chicken. If you forgot to put the salt, the chicken would fuck up massively and be inedible. You can put any herbs you fuckin want in fried chicken, but you need a tonne of fucking salt.

Salt is an obvious ingredient that everyone knows is in it and whose exact content can be easily tested.
KFC shills out in full damage control.

You can add whatever herbs you want in and make it taste better than KFC, kfc chicken is way too fucking mild for anything but the most white of palates, but if you skip the salt it's fucked. People seriously have no idea how much salt goes into KFC's chicken. When I was learning to make fried chicken in cooking class we never used that much salt, and I never see anyone use so much salt in online videos or the like.
But I guess the pressure cookers they use also factor in.

The secret is those industrial machines they use. It's basically an unholy hybrid of a deep fat fryer and a pressure cooker.
You can't really get the same result without it, sorry.

This is actually very true. The saddest thing about Colonel Sanders' life is that towards the end, he watched his legacy die as he sold his recipe over to corporate folk who made the company grow too fast and employees were too poorly trained to recreate the original recipe. He spent the end of his days traveling to various locations and cursing them out, walking into kitchens, and dumping their food out for now following his recipe properly. I've definitely heard stories of old timers saying how early KFC chicken was god tier compared to the slop they serve today.

OP is asking specifically about KFC original recipe you colossal off-topic faggot.
>no idea how much salt
NaCl content is trivial to measure, and the proportions are, by weight:
Flour: 85%
Salt: 10%
Herbs+Spices: 5%

>> No.11556356

>>11556311
I'm trying to improve OPs life by encouraging him to make better flavor choices.
And being trivial to measure doesn't mean everyone's measured how much salt is in those disgusting greasy buckets. I mean it's trivial to make your own fried chicken that tastes good but people still keep going back to KFC.

I worked at KFC years ago too. We didn't add extra salt.

The secret seasoning came in its own brown bag. You would mix it with flour in a big bin. Then you dunk the chicken in water, toss around in the flour, then put in cages to be fried in a pressure cooker.

Quality control at KFC went to shit years ago, which is why many people want to know how to recreate the flavor (when its done right) at home.
