CAD's lame thread with lame pics about his lame KFC original recipe experiment

First get you a whole bird. I bought a whole one and cut it up myself because it was cheaper that way.

Next, mix a cup of buttermilk and one egg together then throw the raw chicken in there to enjoy a tasty bath.

Then go ahead & put on a hot pan of your favorite oil on the stove. Not too hot.. medium high works.. Don't want the chicken to get too dark before it's done or that will overpower the flavor of the spices.

Then just make your batter. The secret is to have all the ingredients on hand. I like using the cajun injector thingie from Academy to batter up my chicken.




11 spices — combine 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

Toss together then put a few pieces in the hot oil.. Cook about 25-30 minutes.. Wings get done quicker so take them out first.



Then place on paper towels.




C'est voila! Pretty damn tasty chicken and it actually has a better flavor than KFC you buy and the chicken pieces are WAY bigger.
