KFC Original Secret Chicken Recipe ✨

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
• 3 beaten eggs
• 4 tablespoons of oil

For the Coating:

• 2 cups flour
• 4 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (or chicken stock powder)
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon tarragon
• 1 teaspoon parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon chives
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Directions:

1. Prepare the Coating: Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add all the coating ingredients (paprika, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, oregano, tarragon, parsley, thyme, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery salt) and mix well. Grind the mixture finely using a mortar and pestle for a uniform consistency.
2. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, place the chicken pieces into the flour mixture and shake to coat them thoroughly. Repeat this process for each piece.
3. Fry the Chicken: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown them slowly, turning as needed. Keep the skillet uncovered during this step.
4. Cook Until Done: Once the chicken is browned, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Continue to fry gently until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the cooked chicken to paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Enjoy your homemade KFC-style chicken, featuring a perfect blend of spices and a crispy coating!
