WOW! This is by far the VERY BEST fried chicken recipe I have ever tried. It's been too long since I lasted visited a KFC, so I could not tell you how close to the Colonel's recipe this comes. But it is postively fantastic and will replace my regular fried chicken recipe, hands down. The 11 spices all combine to create a wonderful tasting coating for the fried chicken. It was a big hit with my entire family. I will definitely make this often. Thanks for sharing your recipe, tastetester #2. Made for Spring 2010 Pick-A-Chef.

Really good! I have not made fried chicken before and I have to say it was delicious. I did not deep fry it though, just put a little oil in the pan and also sprayed the chicken pieces. They were crisp, brown and very tasty. I am making this for my son in law who is a very avid Kfc follower so I will be interested to see if he likes it. Thanks.

Although I wouldn't say that this tastes like KFC, it is very good in its' own right. I do not have a skillet large enough to hold all the chicken so I browned the meat in two batches and then baked at 400F for 40-45 minutes. The coating was nice and crisp and everyone enjoyed it. Thx tastetester#2.
