KFC secret recipe gets new, better vault
Mod
KFC used to be my go-to hang over food when I was at CU.
My dad has been delivering KFC since I was in 2nd grade. When I was little, I felt so famous. Hahah! Now, as a vegetarian, I don't go there unless I'm really depressed and need some mac and cheese.
With all the technology in the world couldn't they analyze the chicken and get this recipe?
Mod
I had KFC over the weekend for the first time in who the hell knows how long. I was surprised at how tasty it was.
Speaking of KFC, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this odd joint venture between KFC and 'Battlestar Galactica'

i remember my dad getting a small pint of gizzards and eating them like they were popcorn. what the **** is a gizzard?
nice. hey montambo, can you skootch over and pass me the tofu?
yeah and it's not from the bowels of a genetically altered fowl
"The gizzard, also referred to as the ventriculus, gastric mill, and gigerium, is an organ found in the digestive tract of some animals, including birds, reptiles, earthworms and some fish. This specialized stomach constructed of thick, muscular walls is used for grinding up food. In certain insects and molluscs, the gizzard features chitinous plates or teeth."God bless Wikipedia.

oh bluh. now i know why my dad's breath smelled like a dog fart
I find the quality of KFC, as I travel around, is highly variable. It seems I always have to wait for another batch, and it's much greasier than it ever was before.
when the jacked with the original recipe and started having real choices with a real menu i stopped eating there. used to be simple: 9pc or bucket
Larry: Nice point about the variable quality. I don't eat at KFC because all of the ones around here are totally skanky. The Popeye's is freakin' awesome, however.Gus: That BSG/KFC tie in threw me for a loop also. I was hoping they would unveil Col. Tigh's Special Recipe w/11 different alcohols and spices.
So why all of the protection unless it's just a publicity stunt? Did anyone else notice that if you google "KFC Special Recipe" several sites come up with a recipe that sounds fairly plausible?
i had a friend once who worked there and tried to tell me the secret ingredients but i knew if he did he would have to kill me so i told him to keep it to himself because he couldn't stand the sight of blood. that's what kind of friend i am
I think there is no secret ingredient. KFC's fried chicken tastes like any other fried chicken fast food joint.
It's MSG. There I said it. It's salty, it's addictive, and it just so happens to be the 'secret ingredient' in Chinese food too. Coincidence? I think not.(looking around warily for secret recipe ninjas)
madison square gardens is the secret ingredient?
Yes Kevin, that is why it is in a constant state of repair because KFC and Chinese restaurants keep taking part of it and put it in their food.
;-D.
;-D.
hey its diane here , yes its just the same old fried chiken but popeyes has some great bean and rice
Wow glad you showed up again, after last night I thought we would have scared the bejeezus out of you and Becky and that you would never be back.
No thunder storms had to turn off computer, I don't scare that easy!
Well, hope everything is OK - raining around here which is a good sign that spring can't be that far away anymore.
sorry had to go run errands , yes was a quick fast thunderstorm, hail , bad wind and rain only lasted a few minutes but that is okay i will take any dampness right now we are 16 inches below normal
I was recently shopping at the discount grocery, and I found a spice bottle that just said "Flavoring". It was just MSG.
So that's what flavor is.
I worked at a banquet-style restaurant after high school, and they had whole shelves full of that 'flavoring'. Whenever I had to use it hands-on, like to rub into chicken, I'd come home at the end of the day and my fingers would be tingling for hours.
I'm a fried chicken fanatic, or used to be anyway, and I have never liked KFC. I always looks so good, but always disappointing! Too much crust. It's basically crust with a little chicken.Haven't had it in, say, in 25 years now. There was a place in Brooklyn when I was growing up called Chicken Delight. Oh yum.
Don't cook tonight,
call chicken delight!

It is never delicious homemade like it is from fast food joints. This pisses me off. The whole ordeal of frying a chicken pisses me off. Especially because I once lived downstairs from a family that was especially proficient at frying chicken, so I knew it couldn't be that difficult.
Nearly every other day the aroma would waft through the thin ceiling/floor/particle board to mock me.
Yeah, I never got the knack for it either, Sal. It's alot harder than it would seem! I don't eat much chicken, but one day I'd like to test one recipe I've found, which says buttermilk is the key ingredient. And oh, I think it also says surround the chicken with ice before coating and cooking, so it gets real cold.Hold on, I may have even saved the recipe to my bookmarks, altho it's been so long....
OK I tracked it down in my saved documents. I have no idea where I got it, and it must have gotten some great reviews because as you can see, this person sounds like an imbecile!Fried Chicken
get 3 large plates on one put regular flour and season it. I use season all. Then on the second plate you can use egg as a binding agent but I like to use Buttermilk. its thicker and makes the flour grab easier. Then on the thrid plate I use corn flour and season that too. I do not like to cook chicken with alot of bones in it cause its hard to get it all cooked through. So I use either chicken breawswts with no bones and not too big. Usually when I buy them from the grocery storte I slice them in half so they are easier to fry up. Then its ieasy Fill a large pot with vegetable oil so that when you put the chicken in there it comes to about half way up the side of the chicken adn put it on med-med high heat. Then wash the chicken dip in quickly in the first plate with regular flour then inthe buttermilk then in the corn flour. If you want the batter to fry up crispier then dredge all chicken in all the mixes then refridgerate them for about and hour before frying.
I know I read somewhere else about the ice.

The issue I have is with filling a large pot with oil. Who has that much oil on hand?
I'd honestly like to have a deep fryer like my host family owned in Spain. No mess, and you save the oil for repeated fryings. Then I'd make croquettas and grow fat again. :P
Yep, I think the amount of oil is the key. And whenever I tried to make, I would stop pouring the oil too soon, because, well, it's gross! But I adore fried foods. Good thing I don't live in the south!
Mod
KFC is cooked in a deep fry pressure cooker that forces the oil into the chicken making it extra
Bird on the bone is the worst food in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is their chicken that good? I don't know. I don't eat chicken.
I hear KFC is huge in Asia, too.
