THE ORIGINAL 11 SPICES SECRET RECIPE?

(As published in The Chicago Tribune)

Prep: 30 minutes
Soak: 20-30 minutes
Cook: 15-18 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 tablespoon dried basil leaves
1/3 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried mustard
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons ground white pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1 chicken, cut up, the breast pieces cut in half for more even frying
Expeller-pressed canola oil

1. Mix the flour in a bowl with all the herbs and spices; set aside.

2. Mix the buttermilk and egg together in a separate bowl until combined. Soak the chicken in the buttermilk mixture at room temperature, 20-30 minutes.

3. Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dip the chicken pieces in the herb-spice-flour mixture to coat all sides, shaking off excess. Allow to sit on a rack over a baking sheet, 20 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, heat about 3 inches of the oil in a large Dutch oven (or similar heavy pot with high sides) over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. (Use a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature.) When temperature is reached, lower the heat to medium to maintain it at 350. Fry 3 or 4 pieces at a time, being careful not to crowd the pot. Fry until medium golden brown, turning once, 15-18 minutes. Transfer chicken pieces to a baking sheet covered with paper towels. Allow the oil to return to temperature before adding more chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Nothing is sacred anymore Bobby.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

You used to be able to buy packets on the 11 herbs & spices in Woolworths.

Can't remember the brand name, but it was available on the shelves for a while a few years back.

I always thought the secret ingredient was rat.

You buy Kentucky Duck, and that's what you risk getting.

The stores are run by 16 year old kids getting paid $12 an hour.

How much care do you think they put into the food preparation?

Actually - I buy KFC only about once per year.
Reason?
It's no where near as good as it used to be in the 70s.
Also - they used to have this beautiful bean salad & they stopped supplying it - I think in the 80's.

I think Colonel Sanders would turn over in his grave if he saw the poor quality they have now at KFC.

I just wonder if the above recipe is correct & would give back that original quality?

I agree with you.

"What's that"?

"Bean salad".

"I don't care what it's been, what is it now"?


KFC from the '70s wasn't as greasy, and the drumsticks were bigger.

The chicken pieces were all bigger in the 70's & 80's.
Now it's Kentucky Fried Sparrow.

This is the closest I can find for the bean salad -
I used to go to KFC just to buy their salad for my family.

...



Serves 8
The KFC bean salad is a traditional "three bean" type of salad that combines green beans, kidney beans and butter beans. While the dish is good freshly prepared, the flavour is enhanced by marinating in the refrigerator.



Ingredients

    2 cups canned kidney beans
    2 cups canned green beans
    2 cups canned butter beans
    1 cup sliced white onion
    1 cup chopped green capsicum
    ½ cup cider vinegar
    ½ cup canola oil
    ¾ cup sugar ( I don't think that amount of sugar is correct)
    ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1½ teaspoons sea salt

Instructions

    Set up a colander in the sink. Drain the kidney beans into the colander, and rinse well.
    Pour the cans of green and butter beans to the colander and stir to make sure all liquid drains out.
    Transfer the drained beans in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
    Chop green capsicum and white onion, then add to the bowl.
    In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and black pepper.
    Pour dressing over beans and vegetables, then toss gently until all beans are well coated with oil, vinegar and spices.
    Place the bean salad in your refrigerator and allow to marinate at least 6 hours.

Notes

    This KFC bean salad reaches peak flavour about 3 to 4 days after preparation. You can store the bean salad for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.

A woman I go out with on and off has a 12 year old kid, and I suggested one night that we just get Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner (after a long day out in Fremantle - couldn't be bothered cooking or going to a restaurant).

The kid looked at me as if I was mad.

"What's Kentucky Fried Chicken?"

The kid had no idea what 'KFC' stood for.

They changed to KFC long ago.

Do you agree that the chicken is super small now - lower in quality &
do you miss the bean salad?

I agree, and I miss the bean salad.

The chicken pieces today are more like quail.

And the bean salad was very yummy.

I wish it was 1978 again: we'd have good food, and good music.
