My reverse-engineered recipe for replicating KFC's 'Original Recipe' chicken breading seasoning. Yields enough seasoning for 6 batches fried chicken or 12 batches Kentucky Fried Pork Chops. Mix 1/2 level cup of this blend with 2 cups unbleached breading flour for frying one fryer chicken or up to 16 drumsticks. Follow KFC Original Recipe Chicken (Copycat) for brining, preparation and frying instructions. Ingredients:
3/4 cup fine sea salt (level) |
4 tablespoons accent seasoning |
4 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder |
2 tablespoons egg white powder |
3/4 cup ground peppercorn (1/2 cup tellicherry black, 1/4 cup white) |
3 tablespoons ground ginger |
3 tablespoons smoked paprika |
2 1/2 tablespoons poultry seasoning |
1 tablespoon ground allspice |
1 tablespoon ground anise seed |
1 tablespoon ground fine herbs |
1 tablespoon ground winter savory |
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground vanilla beans |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. NOTES: DO NOT OMIT OR SUBSTITUTE ANY HERB OR SPICE UNLESS SPECIFIED. IF YOU MUST OMIT NONFAT DRY MILK OR EGG WHITE POWDER, REPLACE THEM EQUALLY WITH UNBLEACHED BREAD FLOUR, TO MAINTAIN PORTION RATIOS. DO NOT OMIT ACCENT SEASONING, AS IT LENDS AN AUTHENTIC FLAVOR. EGG WHITE POWDER IS SOLD IN HEALTH FOOD STORES. FINELY GRIND REQUIRED HERBS AND SPICES SEPARATELY IN A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER. I RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING HERBS AND SPICES: KIRKLAND SIGNATURE BRAND TELLICHERRY PEPPERCORNS, MARION-KAY BRAND GROUND GINGER AND (WINTER) SAVORY, McCORMICK BRAND POULTRY SEASONING, SMOKED PAPRIKA AND JAMAICAN ALLSPICE, SPICE ISLANDS BRAND GROUND FINES HERBES, SADAF BRAND GROUND ANISE SEED (NOT STAR ANISE), AND WILLIAMS-SONOMA BRAND GROUND TAHITIAN VANILLA BEANS. GROUND FINE HERBS (FINES HERBES) MAY BE MADE BY BLENDING EQUAL PORTIONS OF GROUND CHERVIL, CHIVES, PARSLEY, AND TARRAGON. WINTER SAVORY MAY BE SUBSTITUTED WITH THE FOLLOWING BLEND (GRIND INGREDIENTS TOGETHER): 1/4 teaspoon ground chamomile, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon ground parsley, 1/4 teaspoon ground rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme, 1/8 teaspoon ground dried lemon peel, and 1/8 teaspoon ground mint.
2. MEASURE only the BASE MIXTURE and 11 HERBS AND SPICES ingredients into a large sealable container, such as a GLAD food storage container or a Ziploc bag.
3. BREAK up any clumps (and dry milk powder) using the back of a spoon.
4. SEAL the container.
5. SHAKE container to mix well.
6. STORE container sealed and store in a cool dry place.
7. WHEN ready to use, measure 1/2 level cup of this mixture plus 2 cups unbleached breading flour into a large re-sealable container.
8. SEAL the container with flour and seasoning; SHAKE well until thoroughly combined.
9. FOLLOW link to KFC Original Recipe Chicken (Copycat) for complete brining, preparation and frying instructions (skipping its STEP #3 since you've already done this).
10. ENJOY!
