The End The Final KFC Recipe Video – Glen And Friends Cooking – KFC secret Ingredients revealed KFC Recipe series #10 The Final Episode.
The search for a make at home KFC original recipe chicken has been long and difficult. Two independent contacts with close ties to Kentucky Fried Chicken and family ties to The Colonel himself provided me with ingredients lists… Both lists were almost exactly the same – with only one difference. Neither contact would give up the exact KFC Secret Recipe measurements, they wanted to keep some secrets, but eventually you will figure this out…
Ingredient list:
Fine Salt
Fine Ground Black Pepper
Coarse Ground Black Pepper
Cracked Black Pepper
Fine Ground White Pepper
Allspice / or / Summer Savoury
Ground Coriander
Ground Ginger
MSG
Rubbed Thyme
Ground Sage
Rubbed Marjoram
Of course there is more than just the spice mix; if you want that old school taste, you need to use a low protein flour, dip in an egg and milk wash, and pressure fry in hydrogenated cotton seed oil.

I just watched the whole series today for the first time and now I really want some fried chicken 😂 I'm glad you tried frying it like most of us would be doing at home without the pressure frier. I'm also happy that three years later, you can now buy Grace's mix in the US, probably as a direct result of your video 😉 Thanks for the time and effort, it was interesting to watch the journey.
Yeah practically no one has one of those contraptions in their kitchen 👎
I used to eat KFC all the time but the amount of salt plus veg oil makes my feet turn into balloons, super scary
Interesting to note, I'm watching this series in md-2024 and I see Grace's Perfect Blend have this video linked on their site.
Haven’t had KFC since the ‘80s when a much younger cousin of mine worked at one in high school. He reported his disgust that his coworkers routinely had food fights with raw chicken, picked up the pieces off the floor and those same pieces were cooked and served to customers. I have never touched their food since, nor did he, since franchise owners put so little stock in who managed them. But the food wasn’t any good past the mid ‘70s anyway.
Seems I remember rosemary in the mix ?
Can you use the Graces strong blend in the Air Fryer?
the sad part is this is the story of every single fast food franchise. even chipotle is miles different than it was just a decade ago. restaurants get corporatized and after they attain market share and loyalty they begin cost cutting. it's sad. the only thing consumers can do is stop supporting those that choose to do this, but unfortunately the branding and market share is usually too strong at that point.
@Glen and friends cooking: Thanks for all your time and research, cheers.
What about in Canada . I can’t buy in both places … rip 😢
Didn't they use peanut 🥜 oil
I tried this recipe, it tastes very similar to the original recipe from the nineteen-eighties, but you'll most definitely need to cook it in a pressure-fryer to get good results. Deep frying won't get you the same results pressure-frying will for multiple reasons.
Thank you for your time and brilliant information
You shared with us ❤❤❤❤
What kind of oil do you use?
I am sure that the spices used in the secret recipe must be spices, most of which come from outside America. that's what makes it a "secret". think about it.
I have to say, I like the Colonel's chicken, but I prefer Mary Brown's, which is also a recipe taken from the deep U.S. South. It doesn't matter if you get the exact mix, if you're in the ballpark it is going to be great chicken, and there are lots of great DF chicken recipes out there.
Thank you for sharing. KFC chicken is quickly shrinking in Malaysia and I needed the closest possible recipe to make my own at home.
I double-dog dare you to use corn starch instead of flour in a batch. You’re welcome.
I have watched this video several times over the years but never left a comment. Awesome video!

Very good video. I like your channel and how you present the information.
I tried the ingredients and just lacked the allspice ingredient. No it is nowhere near KFC. The smell and taste is nowhere near it.
But when I incorporated the mix of spices to the gravy that I put milk powder to it, the gravy tasted near that of KFC. So I think you are missing egg and milk on the breading ingredients. The thing is, when you franchise a food business, you have to convert some ingredients into powdered form so as to keep it secret. Perhaps eggs and milk where converted to powdered form and incorporated to the breading mix. I saw the KFC actual video, there is no marination, just plain chicken(may be brined before store delivery cause there is no traces of blood), breaded to their mix twice after being dipped in water.
Grace's Strong Blend is available in the US now so I finally got around to trying that along with your cooking method from video #9. It might be the best fried chicken we've ever had. My husband liked it better than what his grandma used to make. Thank you for all your work on this series!
Can you use the Marion Kay seasoning when baking chicken? I don’t have frier at this time.
I vote for including summer savory. It’s one of my favorite herbs!
Around 12 hours brining
Lemon + milk (since I didn’t have buttermilk) + a pinch of salt + cayenne pepper + white pepper + pinch of oregano + pinch of basil + pinch of thyme + red chilli powder + ginger powder + garlic powder. Dip the chicken in it for like 10 – 12 hours and inject this mixture into the pieces as well.
Corn flour + flour + salt + basil + parsley + oregano + white pepper + red chilli powder + cayenne pepper.
Apply the mixture on chicken pieces 1 or 2 times and press the pieces with hands to make crisps. Use cold water to apply second time.
I added paprika as well to above mixture but I think that dims the flavors of other peppers and spice powders so won’t add it the next time.
This recipe made the chicken so tender and juicy that I lost my mind 🤯. And it was near to perfect KFC however I believe it is not worth running after making KFC copy. That’s just another flavour and make our own flavour according to our taste buds.
I believe I used lesser corn flour and more flour and will use more of that the next time to make even crispier. Have to figure out pressure deep fryer as well because that also contributes to the color and crisps. Will also try wet batter mixture instead of the dry one some time. Will also try baking powder as well.
Ewh dirty bird🤢🤮
I am curious about what you are comparing this seasoning to? How long has it been since you tasted the colonel's original recipe chicken?
