1-2-3 KFC!

This isn't really KFC Original Recipe chicken, but a great "quicker and easier" method for replicating the flavor of it at home, if you have Bulk KFC Original Recipe Seasoning (Copycat) on hand. For the full recipe version, see KFC Original Recipe Chicken (Copycat).

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 8 pieces fried chicken

Ingredients

• CHICKEN

• 8 -10  pieces  fresh frying chicken (or up to 16 drumsticks)

• SEASONED FLOUR

• 2  cups  unbleached bread flour
• 1⁄2 cup  seasoning (Bulk KFC Original Recipe Seasoning (Copycat))

• FRYING OIL

•  vegetable oil

Directions

1. NOTES: IF YOU WISH TO TAKE ADDITIONAL TIME AND STEPS TO BRINE THE CHICKEN, ADD CHICKEN TO 2 QUARTS COLD WATER WITH 2 LEVEL TABLESPOONS MORTON LITE SALT SALT AND 2 TEASPOONS ACCENT SEASONING INTO A LARGE POT. WARM BRINE OVER MEDIUM-LOW HEAT UNTIL ALMOST HOT, THEN BREAD. THIS RECIPE IS FORMULATED FOR A SINGLE APPLICATION OF BREADING. DO NOT "DOUBLE-BREAD" SINCE IT PLACES AN EXCESS OF SODIUM, PEPPER AND SPICES ONTO CHICKEN, WHICH COMPROMISES THE QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY OF FINISHED PRODUCT. BONELESS CHICKEN COOKS IN ONE-THIRD OF THE TIME AS BONE-IN CHICKEN. (STEP ONE): PREHEAT your deep fryer with manufacturer's recommended amount of frying oil to 315°F.
2. ROLL wet chicken in blended seasoned flour mixture until well-coated.
3. DEEP-FRY in preheated frying oil without crowding until golden and juices run clear (about 15-18 minutes).
