KFC ORIGINAL RECIPE CHICKEN (COPYCAT)
My reverse-engineered recipe for replicating KFC's 'Original Recipe' chicken at home. Yields 8-10 pieces whole fried chicken, or up to 16 drumsticks. For a bulk mix seasoning for quick and easy breading, use Recipe #453973. PLEASE NOTE: The Nutritional Information listing here is inaccurate -- since only a fraction of flour and salt actually end up in the finished product. So be aware -- the suggested sodium, sugar, carbohydrate and calorie levels are ridiculously exaggerated!

Steps:
- NOTES: FOR AUTHENTIC RESULTS, PREPARE RECIPE EXACTLY AS DIRECTED. MSG (ACCENT SEASONING) IS IN THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL RECIPE, BUT MAY BE OMITTED IF NECESSARY. EGG WHITE POWDER IS SOLD IN HEALTH FOOD STORES. YOU MAY SUBSTITUTE EGG WHITE POWDER WITH CORNSTARCH. FINELY GRIND REQUIRED HERBS AND SPICES SEPARATELY IN A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER. USE A PEPPER MILL TO MEDIUM-GRIND TELLICHERRY PEPPERCORNS. I RECOMMEND MCCORMICK BRAND TELLICHERRY BLACK PEPPER AND GROUND GINGER, SPICE ISLANDS BRAND GROUND SAGE AND CARDAMOM, SPICE APPEAL BRAND GROUND SAVORY, AND WILLIAMS-SONOMA BRAND GROUND TAHITIAN VANILLA BEAN. CHICKEN NOTES: DO NOT DOUBLE-BREAD CHICKEN SINCE IT PLACES AN EXCESS OF SODIUM AND SPICES ONTO FINAL PRODUCT AND COMPROMISES AUTHENTICITY (IF YOU INSIST ON DOUBLE-BREADING, DIFFUSE THE BREADING MIX FIRST BY ADDING A LITTLE MORE UNSEASONED FLOUR). BRINING BONELESS CHICKEN SHOULD BE DONE MUCH MORE QUICKLY (NO MORE THAN 45 MINUTES, TO AVOID OVER-SATURATION OF SALT). BONELESS CHICKEN COOKS MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN BONE-IN CHICKEN (BE CAREFUL TO NOT OVERCOOK!). FRYING FAT NOTES: ALWAYS BEGIN WITH FRESH VEGETABLE OIL. AFTER USING LET IT COOL. FILTER, THEN REFRIGERATE TIGHTLY SEALED TO YIELD 6-12 FRYING BATCHES, REPLENISHING OIL AS NEEDED.
- RINSE and blot chicken; CUT chicken into 8 pieces (or 10 pieces with breast portions cut in half); MIX 2 quarts (8 cups) cups cold water with 2 tablespoons Morton Lite Salt (OR 2 tablespoons fine sea salt), and 2 teaspoons Accent seasoning in a large container with an accompanying lid, until dissolved; ADD chicken pieces; COVER and transfer to refrigerator; MARINATE chicken at least 4 hours in refrigerator. NOTE: FOR A QUICKER STOVETOP MARINATION METHOD, PIERCE CHICKEN PIECES WELL WITH A FORK, THEN HEAT THE MARINADE WITH CHICKEN, COVERED, OVER LOW HEAT UNTIL HEATED THROUGH, TURNING ONCE).
- MEASURE the BASE MIXTURE and 11 SECRET HERBS AND SPICES into a large re-sealable container; BREAK up any clumps (and nonfat milk granules) using the back of a spoon; SEAL the container with mixture; SHAKE to mix well; OPEN container and add the BREADING FLOUR (2 cups unbleached bread flour), then seal the container again; SHAKE well until thoroughly combined.
- REMOVE chicken from brine; PLACE one piece chicken at a time into the breading mixture container; SEAL container firmly; SHAKE chicken gently in all motions to thoroughly coat chicken until evenly and generously breaded; PLACE breaded chicken piece onto a rack to rest; REPEAT with remaining pieces chicken; ALLOW breaded chicken to absorb the breading for a few minutes before frying.
- ADD the manufacturer's recommended amount frying oil for deep-frying; PLACE deep-fryer basket into place in deep-fryer; PREHEAT fryer to 315°F (or preheat enough fat to immerse chicken completely in deep heavy stovetop pot between 315°F to 325°F, using a standard deep-fryer thermometer to gauge).
- CAREFULLY drop each piece breaded chicken one at a time, gently into the deep-fryer basket without crowding (if a standard size home fryer is used, add no more than 2-3 pieces at a time); (if stovetop frying, gently place breaded chicken pieces into hot oil using tongs, turning once halfway through frying duration).
- FRY chicken between 15-18 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked, depending on chicken portions/sizes (juices should run clear when chicken is done); BLOT chicken lightly to absorb excess oil; PLACE cooked chicken into a large resealable container to steam (the steam will soften the breading for added Original Recipe authenticity. If you prefer crisp breading, skip this procedure).
- MAINTAIN frying fat temperature for each new batch and repeat the same cooking/steaming procedures for the remaining chicken.
- REHEAT chicken if necessary before serving in a microwave oven, using a reduced-power setting, as if reheating 2 frozen pastries, pausing in intervals to turn chicken for even heating if necessary.
- SERVE and enjoy!

KFC OVEN BAKED "FRIED" CHICKEN TENDERS
Crunchy and perfectly seasoned, it really does taste like KFC! It is a mash up of my own recipe, the "11 Secret Herbs and Spices" from the Homemade KFC recipe by Every Nook & Cranny, and the coating recipe from this Best Baked "Fried" Chicken by Carlsbad Cravings.. Marinating makes the chicken extra juicy but if you don't have time to marinate, this is still worth making! (See Note 3) PS I know it looks like a lot of salt but it's not overly salty, it's KFC level salty. Reduce salt and/or celery salt if desired.

KFC CHICKEN LITTLES RECIPE (COPYCAT)
KFC Chicken Littles Recipe is a Copycat recipe of one of the most famous sandwich in the world. To get the idea how popular KFC Chicken Littles are, is the fact that there is actually a Facebook petition page you can find here. The chicken little is meant to be an excellent soft roll, instead of a seeded slider bun. It had been also a chicken patty, reminiscent of a school restaurant lunch. And it had a pretty decent quantity of mayonnaise, no lettuce. This new sandwich has been trashed by the real lovers of the original chicken little and we are all asking the question, why can't they merely bring back the original? So, in the meantime, I actually have tried to copy this sandwich in my kitchen and try and satisfy my cravings for this old fashioned love. It's not precisely just like the classic, and i did add pickles, cause I do love the mix it offers the sandwich, however trust me, this can be a lot better than the new wannabe KFC "chicken little". How to make KFC Chicken Littles as the Original : Buy the softest dinner rolls you can find in your bakery or your supermarket. Toast the bun slightly on the stove first. Don't skimp on the mayonnaise, it needs a decent lather. You need to flash fry the chicken before you bake it. It needs an additional soft crunch instead of an extra crisp coating. Pickles are optional, chose according to your liking. If you wish to make this sandwich even more like the classic, you can purchase chicken patties in the frozen section of your supermarket. How to make KFC Chicken Littles Recipe (Copycat) Cut the chicken breasts into 3" pieces. Pounding with a kitchen mallet or if you don't have one, use rolling pin to ensure even cooking and tenderness. Heat the oil to about 400F using a fry safe pot. Heat the oven also to 400 F and prepare a pan lined with parchment paper. Mix the flour and all seasonings using a dish or a plastic bag. Mix together eggs and water in a bowl and beat well. Toss the chicken in the flour mix, then into to egg mixture, and back to the flour mixture. Flash fry for about two minutes a bunch of chicken pieces at a time. Be sure to move them around to prevent them from sticking. Take away the chicken, and place onto a stack of paper leave to rest while you repeat with remaining chicken. Once all chicken is cooked nicely, place onto the baking sheet lined with parchment or foil and bake for around 15 minutes, or till internal chicken temperature reaches 160-165F. Prepare the sandwiches while the chicken is baking. Toast each side on the roll slightly using a skillet on medium heat, sprayed with nonstick oil spray. When buns are cooled a bit, add generously mayonnaise to each side of the rolls, place four pickle slices (if you like) on every bottom half of the bun. Place a piece of warm tasty chicken on every sandwich and enjoy! Ingredients 2 1/2 cups of flour, all purpose 2 tsp of paprika 1 tablespoon of salt, seasoned 2 tsp of sugar, granulated 2 tsp of black pepper 3 whole eggs, with 1/4 cup water, beaten Duke's mayo (full fat ) 50 pickle slices (if you like) 12 pcs of dinner rolls , old fashioned frying oil 4 chicken breasts If you like these KFC chicken littles, please check these Chicken Minis from Chick-fil-a, McDonald's Chicken McGriddles and Popeyes Chicken Sandwich Recipes, Crispy Keto Chicken Wings
