Kentucky Fried Chicken
By: Molly53
Jan 8, 2008
When fast-food restaurants first started, their goal was to serve good, old-fashioned, country-style home-cooking. These days, it's the reverse...home cooks try to reproduce fast-food. A recipe such as this is what Colonel Sanders wanted to mass market as good as home-cooking when he established KFC, but this old timey recipe is nothing like take-out food. From the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947 Lovely served with griddlecakes, waffles, mashed potatoes or hominy grits. Don't forget the cream gravy! Cooking time approximate

Well, I followed this to the letter and the Colonel must have changed the recipe significantly because this had no flavor whatsoever.

This must have been in the technique of frying, because I had to tweak this extensively. I substituted the flour for an oven-fry mixture, Added oregano, marjoram, corn starch, paprika, parsley, and dipped into the flour first THEN, the egg, back to flour and fried it till it was mildly brown, placed the pieces on a foiled cookie sheet, sprayed it with water and covered it with a sheet of foil, baked at 350 for about 50 minutes. Hah! Shocked myself. It was like KFC! Yayyyy!
