In search of KFC
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2019 4:59 pm
What recipes do you have that mimic KFC? We have 3 recipes gleaned from the web and tried one last night. The flavor was about right but the cooking method (oven baked) was no good. Our herb/spice mixture had been made and stored some time ago; we don't even know which recipe we used to make it. Duh!
On the cooking aspect I'm thinking fried or better, deep fried, is the way it should be done; might try incorporating the spices (we have some left) into a tempura batter.
Anybody got a sure-fire KFC recipe?
Related question - how to make tempura that's as dry as in the best restaurant servings? We've done all the recommended things like very cold ingredients, using pop instead of water in the batter, and cooking in hot oil; but the results are always a bit on the oily side. Any comments?
