I recently tried the KFC fried chicken batter recipe that was discovered in a scrapbook belonging to a descendant of Colonel Sanders and published by the Chicago Tribune. You can check out the recipe here.

While I have a deep fryer, I don’t own a pressure cooker…

The flavor is definitely there! I experimented with one to three egg washes, and the batter captures the essence of KFC flavor.

I believe the spice ratio is spot on or very close. However, I think reducing the amount of flour (and perhaps adding some cornstarch for a less crunchy texture) would help the seasonings stand out even more.

    That sounds like a fun experiment! It’s great to hear you captured the essence of the KFC chicken with the spices. Adjusting the flour and incorporating cornstarch could definitely help balance the crunchiness while letting the seasoning shine through. Have you considered trying different frying temperatures or times? That might also affect the texture and flavor. It could be a fun tweak to get it closer to your ideal fried chicken! What did you think of the overall flavor?
