KFC Copycat Recipes- Kentucky Fried Chicken Recipe Clones

Kentucky Fried Chicken is Finger Lickin' Good- Or Use a Wetnap

The Original Kentucky Fried Chicken Recipe Was Developed by Colonel Sanders

The original Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe is one of cooking's most closely guarded secret recipes. KFC started out as a single restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky called Kentucky Fried Chicken. It became a nationwide and later international restaurant franchise. Its icon was the colorful Colonel Sanders. Kentucky Fried Chicken shortened the name to KFC to help improve the image of the restaurant franchise.

KFC is still going strong with many menu items added since its beginning. Some of Kentucky Fried Chicken's most popular menu items are the coleslaw and biscuits. Make these and other KFC recipes using the KFC copycat recipes on this site.

KFC Secret Recipe Is Relocated and Highly Guarded

KFC Secret Recipe Is Moved Amidst High Security
Recently the famous KFC secret recipe was moved via lots of security and hubbub. It seems the bigwigs at Kentucky Fried Chicken take on the responsibilities of guarding one of the most closely guarded corporate secrets very seriously.
Details of the KFC Secret Recipe Move
Find out why and how the famous KFC secret recipe was moved.

Original Kentucky Fried Chicken Recipe

Many of my family members live only about thirty minutes from the original Colonel Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky. I remember hanging out sometimes in Corbin as a teenager. Since people lived around the original Corbin KFC restaurant, it seems that maybe we have a shot at possessing the most authentic Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe clone.

Still, I don't believe anyone will ever have the exact Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe. That fried chicken recipe probably was buried with Colonel Sanders himself. Anyway, here is how most people from the Corbin area fix their version of a Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe.

Original Kentucky Fried Chicken Coating Secret Ingredients

2 envelopes tomato soup mix, preferably Lipton cup-o-soup brand

2 envelopes Italian dressing mix

1 tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoons dried chervil (optional, but makes a huge difference in taste)

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon tarragon

1/2 teaspoon sage

1/4 teaspoon pepper

3 cups pancake mix, preferably Bisquick brand (self-rising flour can be substituted, but won't taste as good)

Instructions for Making the Original KFC Recipe

Blend all of the Kentucky Fried Chicken ingredients for the coating in a blender.

The fried chicken coating is enough for a whole chicken, cut up. Soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least one hour in the refrigerator. Remove chicken from buttermilk and roll in the chicken coating mixture above. Let chicken sit at room temperature while waiting for the oil to get hot.

Deep fry if possible for the most authentic copy of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe. If that is not possible, use a cast iron skillet. Do not crowd the chicken when placing into the skillet. Use lard or shortening if you really want that original Kentucky Fried Chicken taste. If you're making this chicken recipe, chances are you weren't looking for low-fat, healthy recipes. ;)

Brown the chicken in the skillet on high heat. Then turn down the heat and cover the pan. Cook until the fried chicken is done, about 30 minutes. During the last 5 or 10 minutes, uncover the pan and turn up the heat. This will crisp up the fried chicken. Be careful not to burn the chicken during this last step.

Remove the fried chicken and drain on paper towels. Serve while still hot.

Additional Copycat Kentucky Fried Chicken Recipe Tips

Of course, the tomato soup and Italian dressing mixes weren't available when Colonel Sanders developed his secret original Kentucky fried chicken recipe. But using these saves a cook from buying lots of spices that will only be used for this Kentucky fried chicken recipe. Plus, it makes it much easier. And you will be surprised at how closely it tastes like the original Kentucky Fried Chicken. Keep in mind that the original Kentucky fried chicken recipe seemed to change slightly in the 80s. The Kentucky fried chicken recipe clone here is attempting to replicate the original Colonel Sanders recipe that was first developed by Colonel Sanders himself.

Feel free to experiment with this KFC original recipe clone. To keep the closest approximation to the original Kentucky fried chicken recipe, the most important ingredients to include are paprika, Italian dressing mix, and dried chervil.

Ok, I didn't have the tomato soup or the chervil or the tarragon :) but I tossed everything else in a ziploc bag and coated the chicken with it. Put a little olive oil in the bottom of a casserole dish and covered it with tin foil. It tasted wonderful! not KFC but really good and it was baked! can't wait to try it when I have all of the ingredients!

Wow, so many ugly posts over a damn recipe. I have always used Wishbone italian dressing and buttermilk to marinate my chicken prior to frying. May I suggest using a little corn meal and italian bread crumbs with the bisquick? You also forgot to add some unrefined sugar. Other than that, not a bad knockoff.

Just to correct your misstatement regarding why Kentucky Fried Chicken changed their name- years ago the State of Kentucky passed a law requiring any business using the Name "Kentucky" in their corporate identity had to pay a fee to the state for its use. KFC refused to do that and hence the KFC of today. Check it out.

This article is silly. You dont believe that anyone will ever have the exact KFC recipe and that Colonel Sanders didnt take the recipe to his grave?!

How exactly do you think they have been making KFC chicken for the past 60 plus years? with a fake recipe? It is common knowledge that the recipe is locked up in a vault at KFC headquarters and that along with the Coke recipe, is among the most carefully guarded secrets in the world.

Engineer says:

Whoever wrote this is an idiot. KFC started in Salt Lake City and there is plenty of information to prove it, including a restaurant/museum with the Coronels original pressure cooker. He was from Kentucky so that is where the name came from but the first KFC was not in Kentucky. What an idiot!

I think the formula use now days has changed some but it is still good. As for the knock off's, it's fun to guess and try. I wouldn't want to know the formula, it's more fun wondering and guessing.

As for the lame brained comments made earlier by a poster, you miss the whole point and showed a huge amount of disrespect not only to those who post but to yourself and your family. I'll bet they would be proud of you.

Big news in the mid-seventies, when the Coronel sued and won a defamation of

character award against the people that bought him out.They claimed that they

were preparing exactly the way he had shown them prior to buy-out. After a cook

off the jury unnamously sided with the Cornoel, restoring his chicken-cooking

prestigue[Wall street Journal, New York Times,etc].I ate in Corbin,Ky resturant

and in a another of his "The Coronels" in Richmond,Ky during the late 50's and

the early60's. LOTFLMAO

Language people please...Heres the story behind his chicken at the link below. As for his pressue cooking method, I can honestly say my step mom in the south cooks her fried chicken with basic flour salt and pepper, in a pressure cooker and its always the closest thing to KFC that I have ever tried...So moist and fantastic flavor, indeed there is some finger licking going on! Have a great life....

Since 1952, when Colonel Harland Sanders opened his first franchise, onlya select few have been privy to the secret “herb & spices” contained in thebillion-dollar blend. To protect the top-secret recipe, the companyclaims, portions of the secret blend are premixed at two confidential spice cos.and then distributed to KFC's offices, where they are combined. In 1983,in his book “Big Secrets”, author Wm. Poundstone hired a lab to analyze adry sample of the spice mix.The surprising discovery was that instead of identifying "eleven herbs &spices," the analysis showed only four ingredients: flour, salt, pepper,and monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer. The cooking proceedure isbelieved to be the other half of the secret. Colonel Sanders becamefamous for using a pressure cooker shortly after its invention in 1939. Hediscovered that hungry travelers greatly appreciated the 10 min.pressure-cooking time (compared to the usual 30 min. it used to take forfrying chicken), and the new process made the chicken juicy and moistinside. KFC is the 3rd largest fast-food chain in the country, and usesaround 500 million chickens every year.

I'm going to try it. i hope it's good but with any recipe you have to make it your own. i do love chicken though.

Lisa says:

As I have worked for KFC I can tell you the mixture comes from 3 different companies that supply the orig. and the crispy ingredients. Flour is super fine as if sifted a number of times, the salt also fine like kosher, or sea salt ground and the seasoning is made by 2 seperate plants and then packaged at another plant. You learn this when you attend their management training classes in Louisville, Ky. There is one ingredient that nobody will ever find they will not tell us. AND THE CHICKEN IS PRESSURE COOKED IN FRYERS THAT HOLD 50 POUNDS OF (THESE DAYS SOY OIL.) we USED VEGTABLE OIL UNTILL DECEMBER 2006.

I have tried this recipe before and it is horrible. Also, do not fry chicken in a pressure cooker.....it will BLOW UP like NAPALM!! KFC and other fried chicken experts use a PRESSURE FRYER which is specially made for frying!

There are so many trash clone recipes on the net, and I'm amazed at the people who post "how good it is". I think some people have no taste.

Anyhow....Bojangles and then Popeye's makes the best fried chicken.

Looking at the ingredients I am sure something is missing. Isn't there any egg or some form of liquid to blend all the spices as mentioned? I am not going to try as I suspect I might be wasting my ingredients here. Receipe is too vague for me.

that said I will try buttermilk to soak chicken in. Sounds like it will give a nice flavour to the meat.

Factsonly says:

As for the negative comments I have read, I can only say that I am disapointed with the lack constructive criticism; istead there is a lot of unfocused biased vulgar comments. As for the recipee, it is nothing like the colonel's, and it does not even taste close to the colonel's. I see where a several of you have tried to explain the history and reasoning of KFC and its recipee, but fell greatly short of the truth; instead these attempts of an explination are nothing more than snippets from media circulated crap. Loretta, you are perhaps the biggest culpret of this, for example the analysis done by Wm. Poundstone is nothing to take to the bank, because the dry ingrediants don't contain all of the secret herbs and spices, and on top of that; KFC has changed the recipee to suit their liking. This is just a snippet of information to show you that relying on the media is not a wise thing; that is if you learn from it. I knew the Colonel and he has shared the recipee with me, and I have helped him make the chicken. I would like to share more with some of you, but there are many of you that would manipulate the truth to your liking, which I do not belive the Colonel would like and KFC would react letigeously to my explaining of the changes made to the recipee, let alone the actual recipee itself. I don't normally explain or type as much as I did here on blogs, but I thought I would try to help some of you understand that if your knowledge is ased on something you read or heard, then you need to say so, or say if it is first hand experience. But no matter what don't talk made up srap. All that being followed then just talk on the post in question and not derogatory on other bloggers. Everyone have apleasant day.

I had a freind who worked at kfc and gave me their pouch of gravy mix and kfc original recipie batter pouch and it lists the ingredients, they first get the chicken and put in in a drone then tumbles the chicken in a cylinder, then they sock it in whole milk then the batter in the pouch then they pressure cook it in soybean oil mixed with sunflower oil. on the back of the pouch it lists the ingredient list of the chicken batter, onion salt,garlic salt, seasoning salt, cardonom, maragorm, oregano,thyme, rosmary,all spice.

Well one thing to remember to is that KFC chicken is cooked in a Henny Penny Pressure Fryer and believe me this contributes to that original recipe taste. This allows for the chicken to retain all of it's juices and gives the coating a better taste. I worked at KFC in my younger days.

KFC is the best God Damned Chicken in the fucking world! Next in line is Popeye's Chicken.

stephaniE FROM cANADA - You're dumb!

Bob7135 - You are even dumber - They changed the name like other companies changed their names because of the negitivity of the word "Fried". Like "Sugar Smacks" changed to "Honey Smacks" etc.

Engineer - You are just a jackass! KFC did not start in Salt Lake City... It started in Corbin, Kentucky. The only thing that started in SLC is your underground child pornography web site. Shut the fuck up!

Factsonly - Just shut up.

Spicy says:

The first location of the franchise was in SLC Utah. This does not preclude the Colonel from having other resturaunts he cooked in or owned, but whatever...

Have some responsability for yourself. If you do not like or agree with a recipe online then just don't try it. The truth is that there have to be very specific controls in place to mass produce a recipe. Every ingredient, process, temperature, cooking time have to be exact in order to reproduce the desired effect. If you feel that this recipe was a failure in creating the perfect KFC chicken then try something else or give up.

Some of you liked it, some hated it, that's all fine.

Thank you for the recipe, I am going to try it.

As a chef of fourteen years experience I find I am still learning new things and experimenting with new recipes. Angela Harris should be congratulated and not recieve such discraceful comments.

She has given up her own free time to attempt to replicate a corporate recipe and post her idea online so that other people may benefit. I wonder how many of the people critical of her have got off their backsides and tried to do the same?

I have followed the recipe to the letter and although is not exact of KFC, certainly is a wonderful flavour. It would be foolish to believe anyone can exactly reproduce the original recipe as it would be scientifically impossible without the genuine recipe.

Angela has inspired me to try different variations based on her recipe and I hope despite the unpleasant and childish remarks of others that she and many others continue sharing their creativity.

Bob says:

This recipe is complicated, not reliable (unspecified brands and package sizes for "seasoned salt", "Italian dressing", "tomato soup"), obviously way off, and missing the point.

It misses the point because KFC is all about the cooking method. The spices are totally unimportant. Pick some generic spices (or none at all) and you're good, but how are you going to get that crunchy outside?

I can certainly believe the "Henny Penny Pressure Fryer" comment. Pressurized hot oil sounds like a death wish, but OK. I'm left wondering about chicken temperature, oil temperature, non-spice content of the coating, and maybe even a pressure setting.

Given how obviously wrong this recipe is, I have to wonder if the coating does in fact go on dry. Maybe it needs to be wet. Maybe it needs corn flour. Who knows?

Dont bother trying this, waste of time, money,and chicken! The coating turned soggy and fell off the bird and tastes nothing like kfc. I think if you use flour and egg wash instead of bisquick it might not be so bad.

Doesn't work! This is just another internet expert that doesn't have a clue. Basic seasonings are old hat - been around for years - probably formulated by Lipton and not KFC. The dip is easily done incorrectly and is doomed to disaster. Wrong all around and doesn't even relate a proper temperature for any of the cooking - why? Because they do not know! Don't waste your time or ingredients on this halfa$$ed recipe.

I've tried this recipe and even though it's good, it taste nothing like KFC's. I also bake the chicken and not fry it and use flour instead of Bisquick
