When I did my stint at KFC in 1972 for a couple years, they explained the pressure cooking concept to me, and why the chicken was done, but very juicy. We put the raw chicken in the cooker, closed the lid, and it cooked for about 1 1/2 minutes before the pressure valve closed. This did two things: set the coating so it wouldn't fall off, and sear the outside of the entire piece of chicken. This helped keep moisture in. Then as the cooking chickens internal temp raised, and the internal water would normally want to escape to the outside of the chicken, the rising pressure in the pot 'pushed back' and normalized the pressure so the juice stayed in the chicken. It cooked faster and stayed moist. Later when Extra Crispy came out, it was cooked in an open fry cooker with no lid or pressured. It was prepped differently. Different marinade and flour. I'm enjoying this series!

I worked at a KFC about 15 years ago, and worked with a lady who had been working there since the 1970's. She actually met the Colonel when he would go across Canada, checking up on his restaurants. Anyway, We had many conversations on the recipe because well, that's just things you talk about when you've worked somewhere for 30+ years. When we read all the ingredients on the "spice mix bag", we only came up with 11 herbs/spices including salt. When we asked the lady who'd been there for years she said that YES, the Colonel insisted that Salt was part of the 11. At that time, in Canada, we were using big (I think 25lb) bags of flour already with the Colonel's pre-mix in. I never had to mix spices into flour. They may do things differently now, than I did then!

Glen & Friends - I've got an idea. Why not try a fry up test of a blend in equal parts of Ken's recipe and the 99x Marion Kay recipe as the dredge. For instance, mix together a half cup of each and then dredge the chicken in the resulting mixture. It might equal out the contrasts between the two. Throw in a bit more pepper if it's advisable. I'd be curious to see the results.

we just ate some amazing KFC style chicken strips (we did not have enough oil to fry the chicken drumsticks i had bought) :-) I used the 'Ken' recipe from your video, and did a double dip in egg wash and the spiced flour. I did not have any Marjoram or summer savoury or any msg, so substituted with about half a gram of paprika and dropped the salt by 5g, while adding about an extra couple of grams of the white pepper. Fried them in a medium hot oil (in a regular saucepan) and they were just amazing. I have not eaten KFC for about 10 years, so did not have much a comparison... but i think you are spot on with the white pepper being the main ingredient... our kitchen smelled of it, and it was exactly like walking in to a KFC branch haha :-) Thank you for all your hard work, a truly super video.

I think you have a good chance of matching (to all intents and purposes) *today's* recipe. What you had on the table might have been a decent match for a 1950s recipe. I only rarely eat KFC, so I have a few data points years apart. It's my distinct impression that about 30 years ago the recipes got A LOT more pepper in them than what I remembered from earlier visits. Now this isn't a bad thing, especially since people like A LOT more pepper in food these days than in the 1930s to 1960s. But I think it is a real change.

It's been a while since I had the original recipe and never really stopped to smell it analytically to try to sniff out particular flavors. Just know it has a good taste, and so does the gravy, (is the gravy the same seasoning blend?) Would like to have a jar of the flavor just to add to random foods I cook to make it better. I did notice someone bought that "Chick Fill A" nuggets and they had a very similar flavor to original recipe. One thing I've learned is Tyme is incredibly potent, at least what I buy in the store and can easily over power any recipe if it is not used in all but the tiniest amounts. Have to see if White Pepper is in there. I like white pepper and use it quite a bit in greens, have to smell the original recipe to see if that is the ringer that makes this so unique?

I made “KFC” about 10 years ago from a recipe found on the Internet. The one thing about it that lept out at me and which gave it that distinctive KFC taste was the flavor of savory. I think most people don’t include that in their homemade fried chicken recipes. I also think savory was more prominent in the old KFC recipe from my childhood, because that flavor really took me back to 1972.

The Colonel hit 'the sweet spot' for pressure fried chicken: it was so good that it carried a franchise offering gluey mashed potatoes, miserable gravy and 'blah' biscuits. BUT, the Colonel's chicken and a homemade fresh greens and tomato salad, even with a bottled dressing, made a meal I enjoyed many times in the Colonel's era. Add cold Schlitz beer or a quality chilled white wine, or the ubiquitous Mateus rose, and I believed I had found a fine, easy meal.

I make a spice blend that has a few more than the KFC blend supposedly has. I will alter mine now to omit the paprika. I have a 3 pepper blend that uses black, white and cayenne pepper in fairly large amounts with ground celery seeds, thyme, basil, oregano, mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, self rising flour and salt. I start by washing the chicken well, and then drying it and then soaking it in buttermilk or a blend of milk and some vinegar for a few hours. I then dust with the flour blend, then dip and coat well in an egg and milk wash, then into the flour and spice blend, coating it well and setting on a plate and refrigerate for an hour before deep frying slowly in an iron skillet. I can't remember the taste of KFC. I do know my fried chicken is always tasty. I think it could be sold in eateries.

Lived in Corbin my entire life, family has been here for 80+ years. Best friend's grandma was a cook in Sander's Cafe, her picture is in a lot of the KFC's that I have visited throughout the country. She always said that once Sander's started having the seasoning made, he had the mix brought in in two separate containers, one from Marion Kay and one from some other manufacturer. Then added several additional things to those two to create the final mix. This way, no one person ever had the complete recipe. Also, keep in mind that the chicken you had in Corbin tastes a bit different than other KFCs as Sander's Cafe KFC in Corbin isn't a franchise, it's privately owned. I think the one thing I really miss is the Chocolate Mousse Parfait things they used to sell. My grandma and grandpa always took me to KFC as a kid, when the original ... well everything, was still there. Even the building. Eating those parfaits with my grandparents is one of my fondest memories of when they came to visit us.

In the KFC here, they put in lemon pepper in the spice mix. The spice mix is pepper based, black and white for sure with salt. I think there is ground thyme, ground basil, ground sage, ground marjoram, ground rosemary, ground oregano, garlic salt, ground ginger, and celery salt. Also a big secret is brining the chicken in buttermilk overnight. It brings out all of the blood and crap, and makes the texture better over all. I like using an egg wash to dunk the chicken in and cook it at 350°F for 18-20 minutes. The measurement for the dry ingredients is really up to you. Use 2 cups of AP flour for sure. 1 tsp of the ground herbs, 1 1/2 tsp of garlic salt, ginger and celery salt, 2 tsps salt, 1 tbsp black pepper and 3 tbsps white pepper. And that's Kenny's Fried Chicken (KFC) lol. Paprika is not used in KFC at all. Cloves and allspice could be though. Like 1/2 tsp each max though in the 2 cups of flour. Strong flavours there

(Also, I wonder if a toothpick through a 1cm cube of skin and chicken would turn out the same as the drumstick, or if there are sealing/heating/cooking implications of the full drumstick that make that rig not useful. This is a fascinating series. Thanks for making it!

Yes. I first had Churches chicken in the early 70's in NW Florida. It was distinctly different than what I've had in later years. The pieces themselves seemed exceptionally large and meaty compared to KFC etc. The cooked meat was moist and tender (and I'm talking about white meat too, since that's what I prefer) and the breading was crisp, light, and not very greasy. Overall, Churches was much more lightly seasoned than KFC. KFC in the 60's was greasy, but also crisp. In later years it became almost inedible. The word that comes to mind is "soggy". I suspect that in both cases most of the decline in the product is just a matter of quality control.

: I made the Chicago Tribune recipe a few times, and you're absolutely correct about it being anywhere in the same ballpark as KFC. It's almost as if nobody at the Tribune even tried it themselves before running with the story. That said, as far as the real-world fried chicken restaurant chains go, I like Lee's Famous Recipe chicken better than KFC.

The reason it was was called 99X is because it was 99% close to the Colonel's original recipe back around the time the Colonel commissioned it. Marion Kay recommends you use 2 tablespoons of 99X to 2 cups flour, but it's more like 3 times that amount (3 tablespoons per cup of flour) to get any real flavor kick.

Great work. I’ve tried the Chicago tribune recipe and I don’t think it’s that close.

Like many others I found this channel through one of the Coca Cola recipe episodes. I'm so glad I discovered it. I've always been more curious about the history of food and recipes - so not only do I love your experimentation videos but episodes like these and depression era videos have been a great way to enjoy a bit of history while you try new things.

I don't know if this has been covered or not but maybe also look at the flour being used. The KFC chicken itself looks like it has an incredibly lighter coating than the other 2 chicken recipes. It looks like the 2 that were created that are not KFC based have held onto more flour giving a 'thicker' coating which could be changing the flavour slightly too.

This is a great series. I used to know someone who was an employee of KFC, at one point, and said that they were able to find out about what the 11 herbs and spices were in their chicken. This was in the very early 1990s. I have one question. Why does the gravy taste different from one KFC location to the next? I had KFC gravy at one location that had a more peppery flavour than the gravy from another KFC location. Cheers!

Could you convert the spice mix to tablespoons and teaspoon. In the USA and do not have access to metric measurements.
