Default Is this KFC's secret herb and spice recipe?

The Chicago Tribune printed what may be KFC's herb and spice recipe. Then
KFC and the cousin claimed it wasn't the right one. See:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifest...818-story.html

Here it is:

11 spices — mix with 2 cups white flour

2/3 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon thyme
1/2 tablespoon basil
1/3 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried mustard
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons white pepper

People can to make it up, fry some chicken, buy some KFC chicken, and
compare. KFC cooks their chicken in a pressure fryer, so you can't
replicate in its entirety. Being gluten-free for over 26 years I naturally
avoid KFC.

Apparently KFCs secret herbs and spices a

salt
monosodium glutamate
pepper

IMHO, it doesn't do much good to season the flour. Season the chicken
before coating it with flour.

The Chicago Tribune recipe includes thyme, oregano, and basil. All would be
visible if included. There is also paprika. That would also be visible. As
I wrote, I haven't been in a KFC for over 26 years. I have no idea what the
coating looks like.

Mix that with a little brown sugar + some paprika and you've got
yourself a pretty decent "bone rub".

Those seasonings wouldn't necessarily be visible/recognizable if they
were ground into a powder.

I'm inclined to agree with the no herbs or spices in the mix. It does taste like there's some garlic in there - well, that's what I taste at least.

The problem with that is KFC makes it clear that there are 11 herbs and
spices.

This is their ingredients page:
https://www.kfc.com/assets/pdfs/kfc_ingredients.pdf

Most products have amazingly long ingredient lists. Here the chicken we are
discussing:

Original Recipe Chicken
Fresh Chicken Marinated With: Salt, Sodium Phosphate and Monosodium
Glutamate. Breaded With: Wheat Flour, Sodium Chloride
and Anti-caking agent (Tricalcium Phosphate), Whey, Nonfat Milk, Egg
Whites, Corn Starch, Potato Starch, Maltodextrin,
Triglycerides, Natural Flavoring (Milk), Gelatin (From Chicken), Colonel’s
Secret Original Recipe Seasoning.

As you can see, the MSG is in addition to these 11 spices. And salt also
gets into the chicken via the marinade.

There might be a teaspoon of "Colonel's Secret Original Recipe Seasoning"
per ton of flour. The seasoning might be mostly pepper, with a
teaspoon of other herbs and spices per ton of pepper.

It's impossible to tell from the ingredients list.

No. I worked at a KFC for 2 months in the summer of 1971. It's not all
pepper at all. The seasoning came in a large package (maybe One lb? just
guessing). That was mixed with so much flour to make enough to cook 12
chickens cut up into 108 pieces).... 6 large pressure cookers filled
with lard and 18 pieces per pot.

The chicken was dipped in a wash of eggs and milk, then rolled in the
flour/spice mix, then into the pressure cookers. There was no marinating
the chicken beforehand.

I've said before that I swear I remember seeing the list on the spice
pack. Listed all 11 but not amounts. Maybe I'm mistaken about that as
you would think it's not so secret if that was the case. I still think
they did list them back then. I remember thinking I should write that
down.

Oh well...ancient history. They cooked the chicken differently back then
and they used lard. I'm sure that attributed to the taste.

I tried them again about a year ago and still loved the chicken
(original).

It's good as long as you don't eat there often. When I worked there,
employees were allowed to eat all the chicken that they wanted. I
thought I had died and gone to fried chicken heaven. Within a week of
that all you can eat though, I was completely sick of the taste and
rarely ate it again. hahaha

I see NO spices/herbs listed, not a one! The Colonel's secret
seasoning is not shown.

That's why most eateries let employees eat all they want. While going
to high school I held a part time job after school as a stock boy for
Barton's Bonbonnaire... sold probably the finast chocolates on the
planet then and since. I could eat all I wanted while on the
premises, just couldn't take any home without paying. For a week I
pigged out on chocolate, my favorite was dark chocolate almond bark.
After that first week I could barely tolerate the smell of chocolate,
was about five years before I could eat chocolate again.

I would have known what the *******s were trying to do right off and foiled their little plan by not shoveling food into my greedy, gaping, maul. My guess is that I would have made employee of the month and they would have stuck my photo in the dining room for all to see and know.

That's usually the way it is when you can have all that you want at places
of employment.

I hear you. I don't copycat anybody but myself.

As far as the 11 secret herbs and spices goes, I figured that was a sham decades ago. It has however, captured the imagination of people - that's a very good thing in advertising.

The funny thing about your country is that there are so many KFCs in London - most of them, it appears, were fake!

lol well I hate London and have never gone there unless it has been

one um... I can't remember what it was, but it was one of the fast food
places. A friend was passing through and as he didn't have as much time as
we expected he suggested we go to ****

I looked at the menu and thought a filet of fish sounded nice. It wasn't!!!
It was full of gunk and I nearly threw up. I have never been in a fast food

Most unfortunate! My favorite place to get some fish and chips is Hot Dog on a Stick. I don't like the name of the place myself but it seems to have captured the imagination of Americans. It's served up nice and hot. Unfortunately, there's no malt vinegar to be found in or around the joint. They will serve it with about half a cup of tartar sauce though. I order it with fried zucchini.

Who gives a crap? Some people aren't phobic about salt. The recipe was
quoted as found. Feel free to tweak it all you want. (I would, too.)
The topic was "secret herb & spice recipe". Not "is there too much salt
in..."

There was a brief blurb in my regional newspaper that said

"NEW YORK (AP) ¡X Has Colonel Sanders' nephew inadvertently revealed
to the world the secret blend of 11 herbs and spices behind KFC's fried
chicken empire?

The company says the recipe published in the Chicago Tribune is not
authentic. But that hasn't stopped rampant online speculation that one
of the most legendary and closely guarded secrets in the history of fast
food has been exposed."

from

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/2b378...-fast-says-kfc

or

http://tinyurl.com/j8zsnzp

Hmmm... seems the recipe is still a secret . . . not that it matters
much since there are other places with much better fried chicken than
KFC. Of course, YMMV.

I just went on the KFC web site, entered my zip code in the Store
Locator and wow, there are 42 KFC outlets in a twenty five mile radius
of my house...we can assume that this stuff is just as popular as
McDonalds or Subway

I guarantee that Yum is big enough to "own" half the members of

Back before I had to go gluten-free, I liked Popeyes. I guess it was the

Yes, like all the people that rail against McDonald's, Burger King, Taco
Bell, Walmart, etc., they obviously are not in the majority of "deciders."

also note on their web site, if you click the locator box to show you
just the outlets with "buffets", and you are a Senior Citizen, you can
go to the KFC Buffet from 11am til 8pm all you can eat for $6.79
including your drink.

This is way less than $2 for a piece of chicken...and it's "the real
thing".
