I decided to try out the KFC batter recipe for fried chicken that was discovered in a scrapbook belonging to a descendant of Colonel Sanders and later 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 truly captures the essence of KFC.

I believe the spice ratio is spot on, or at least very close. However, I think using less flour (and possibly adding some cornstarch) would enhance the seasoning and make it a bit less crunchy.

    That sounds like a fun experiment! It’s great to hear that you captured the essence of KFC’s flavor. Reducing the flour and adding cornstarch could definitely help create a lighter, crunchier texture while allowing the spices to stand out more. Have you thought about adjusting the frying temperature or time as well? Sometimes a slight tweak can make a big difference in achieving that perfect fry. Overall, it sounds like you’re on the right track, and I’d love to hear more about your results! Happy frying!
