sorry, but why would you wanna copy kfc?, thats gotta be the nastiest "food" around. eeesh
i still think just salt/pepper and butter with lemon is the simplest and easiest. it does justice to the fisf,although the above mentioned spices are fantastic....just not kfc.
"izzz izzz izzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"... sounds of heaven.
"You're gonna need a bigga esky!"
Ive dropped all crumbs now and simply use cornflour salt and malt powder.......throw it in a bag with the fish chunks and roll it around then straight into hot oil one at a time. Amazing.
Jack.
Ok, Ill give it up.
Fish oil
Cod liver oil, Tuna oil, what ever.
Rub in with fingers a tea spoon of fish oil per cup of spiced flour.
You really need to work it through with minimal glug ups.
Just mince it with your fingers until the oil is saturated and the mix becomes dry again.
First Brine the chicken pieces in a solution of 1 TBS salt per litre water.
You can add a few herbs and spice to the brine as osmosis will carry the flavours deep into the meat (More so than marinating)
All chook pieces must be fully submerged so you need to get inventive with cups and plates to keep them down.
Brine for 6-8 hours for cut up chook.
Fully dry chicken, Use a fan or fridge fan, but it must be dry.
Roll each piece into the flour then set aside.
The salt in the flour will start to sweat the skin in a few minutes or so.
Once the flour is wet, Roll them again in the flour then into the fryer.
Walla, Kentucky fried rat.
Once you do this, You will realise that the KFC flavour is in fact fish oil
Have a go and tell me what you think
