Wonderful! This worked out so much more simply than I expected. I left out the MSG and it still tasted very good. I added some Fine Herbs that I saw recommended in another recipe. My regular pressure cooker worked perfectly. Very little mess too. Everyone loved it.

    Great Recipe! My kids love KFC but we are an hour away from the nearest one. The kids loved it. I also used a deep fryer with a setting of only 375* - I cooked the chicken for 12 minutes.

    This recipe should be noted that a PRESSURE FRYER COOKER must be used and not your standard pressure cooker......

    Wonderfull! So easy to prepare and tastes like the real thing. I deep fried mine in a deep frier, I also made nuggets by dipping bite sized pieces of chicken breast in the mixture and deep frying. Made for fussy children and they all loved it. Thanks for posting!
