Getting this recipe wasn't easy! Toss a like on the vid :)

[ThisOffendsMeTV]

Remember that giant chicken that beat Peter Griffin relentlessly? I hope you’re ready bruh lmao

[WorstOneFred]

Imagine if this was the actual recipe. KFC would be sweating buckets

[ryanlogue]

I work at a KFC as a second job, they don't train you at all to not say what's in the seasoning. The actual seasoning packets we add to the flour don't even say it.
First two ingredients: Spices, MSG

[Toxic_Stall]

I work at KFC and, while I don’t know the secret recipe, I can say that the cooking method was wrong. We use pressure deep fryers at 345 Fahrenheit for 16 minutes. No buttermilk, and the ratio should be about 1/3 herbs and spices to 2/3 flour. Also, I can say for sure that there isn’t paprika. The distinct red color just isn’t in any of the mixes. (Also, we do use MSG, it’s one of the few things on the ingredients list) hope this helps!

I worked at KFC. they used rapeseed oil, water for wet batter, and the seasoning was in one packet, no ingredients mentioned. people at the KFC stores won't know at all

“I stole Colonel Sander’s secret recipe”

Plankton: *“You and I are not so different”*

[nullifiedgoose]

fun fact: the 11 herbs and spices isnt the colonel's original recipe and actually hated it. His original recipe was more like 25 herbs and spices but it was too complex or something

[gregorylodato]

Victoria’s Secret is right up there with “why is water wet?” Great video nick!!

[XNAV]

I used to work at KFC, and one thing everyone misses/forgets/doesnt have, is that the chicken is pressure cooked in an oil vat. Makes a huge difference.

[Ihateitzkeisha]

As a kfc worker we literally don't know what's in it. Everything is prepackaged and we just mix them to marinate and bread the chicken.

If this video suddenly gets taken down and Nick goes missing, it's our duty to tell his tale

[Xander]

I work at kfc and there is not msg in the original seasoning and our chicken is not soaked in buttermilk either

[h_rico]

I worked at KFC as a fry cook when I was younger and we were never told anything about what’s in the seasoning. We were to take a bag of flour that literally just said “flour” and mix it with a bag that literally said “salt” and as someone who cooked since I was a kid I would taste the salt and flour and would try my best to call it out and this is what I came up with;
So the color of the salt alone gives off an Adoboish yellow color. I remember getting notes of oregano, white pepper, salt, black pepper, and the MSG is a no brainer. Other than that I will also say that KFC’s level of freshness is probably one of the best out of any restaurant I’ve ever worked at. The chicken is always delivered super fresh and we were expected to constantly change the chicken out of the warmer every hour and 30 mins. Also expected to clean our pressure fryers out every day if not every two days depending on how busy we got. That also played a part in the taste of the chicken.

this guy is just such a great chef. i would pay good money just to eat what he cooks

Thanks so much for all the likes, I never thought this would blow up 🙂

[letsgobrandon]

Try this way too!
I honestly think the MSG in the brine is the key.

Brine:
1 gallon water
1/3 cup kosher salt
1 Tbls. MSG
Brine In fridge for 3 hours drain and rinse.
Pat chicken dry.

Dredge:

1 C AP flour
4 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbls MSG
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground savory
1/2 tsp sage (ground)
1/4 tsp ginger (ground)
1/4 tsp marjoram (ground)
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (ground)

You can soak the chicken in some buttermilk and go right into the dredge or for Xtra crispy you can go into egg wash and back into the dredge!

[shlankbank]

As an ex KFC employee, I can tell you that even actual workers aren't given the recipe. It all comes in bags thar are literally labeled "Original" or "Extra Crispy", and trust me one of the first things I did working there was look at it to see if I could find the recipe

[Mnbvczake]

2/3 ts salt
1/2 ts thyme
1/2 ts basil
1/3 ts origino
1 ts celary salt
1 ts black pepper
1 ts dried mustard
4 ts paprika
2 ts garlic salt
1 ts ground ginger
3 ts white pepper
Was found on the back of a photo with Colonel Sanders

[thedrbat]

I feel like the easiest way to find out the original recipe is too literally just experiment with what was the most common spices during the time of colonel sanders, experiment with flavor mixing etc until you discover thee perfect taste

[captain_commenter]

Damn, Nick went and performed a Plankton and stole the secret formula 💀
