INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon powdered sage
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoon thyme
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons dry minced parsley
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons onion salt
2 tablespoons powdered chicken bouillon
1 package instant tomato soup mix

DIRECTIONS:

There are actually 11 spices in the original spice mixture, but we needed an additional 3 ingredients were necessary to derive that same special flavor. Place all ingredients in blender with on/off speed for 3-4 minutes to pulverize, or rub through a fine strainer. Store in an airtight container so it will not lose potency.

To use with flour: Add 1 oz. mix to cup of flour for coating chicken.

Gary... If you have onion powder and salt in your house, you can make onion salt. Same with garlic powder and salt to make garlic salt.

I use 1 drumstick and 1 thigh per person. This recipe is excellent and whilst not exactly kfc is decidedly tasty. I always skin the chicken and brine it for a good couple of hours. This tenderises it and gives a good replication of the 'pressure' frying that kfc use. Like the contributer above I double dip it with egg and flour mixture. I fry it off until the coating is set then finish it in the oven.

if you play with the green herbs u can make it nearly perfect. I dunno if the recipe mentions it but it is also best done in the flour mix then dipped in beaten egg and recoated to get a nice thick coating.The leftover oil is also great for making nice flavoured fries as well. and if you haven't got onion salt in the house go get some.

I tried this recipe, didn't like it very much. It had a sweet taste to me,guessing it came from the italian dressing. I also used the pancake mix and it cooked to fast and i was cooking on medium and it burned, then i used all purpose flour and it cooked ok. As it cooked longer it didn't have the sweet taste but you really couldn't taste the seasonings that was in it. I thought with all the seasonings it would had a better taste.

KFC Chicken is not fried. They use pressure cookers and cook the chicken for 20 minutes exactly. Pots should be 1/2 filled with oil

I have made this recipe several times. I added 1 TBSP Curry,1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper mix 2 oz with a box of tempura and oven fry. With a 1/2 cup of pre-melted crisco. IT IS EXCELLENT!!!!! Though the oregano and thyme could be reduced a little. I thought using flour was a little heavy. PERFECT!!! Five stars for this copy cat dish. We will continue to use this recipe, guest even love it!
