Chicken like in KFC

[sensible]

Does anyone know how to make chicken like in KFC because I've always wanted to know. Ive tried making it before but the batter stuff i put on the chicken just floated away in the oil when I tried to fry. So plz can someone help.

we make it at home using egg white, flour, breadcrumbs and spices...we dont deep fry it, we cook it in the oven, it tastes lovely and kids love it.

KFC recipe is a secret. It contains 100 herbs and spices! Don't you remember the advert from the 1980s?

Seriously, deep fried chicken, especially KFC, has a very high fat value and is not good for you, apart from once in a while.

KFC use sum weird ingredient in their chicken (or batter, i think) tht sounds like hydroglobin or hemoglabin or sumthin! Like every other fast food chain, the recipe's aren't simple and are most likely to contain additives/preservatives and all tht jazz!

For those of you who like salt! I have made KFC like chicken before, and I'm pretty sure they don't add any of the above nonsense. All they add is lots and lots of SALT!!

I use chicken fillets coz it's a bit leaner. Dip your chicken in some flour mixed with lots of salt, then dip it in egg, then dip it back in the flour with lots of salt, then fry in some sunflower oil to brown the outside and whack it in the oven at 400F/200C for 15 minutes.

It definately tastes the same...however word of warning, don;t eat this every day, coz it will prbably be bad for your health!!
