KFC-Style Original Secret Chicken Recipe ✨

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (cut into 8–10 pieces)

• 3 eggs (beaten)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 4 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp dried basil

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp celery salt (or regular salt)

• 1 tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp white pepper

• ½ tsp ground ginger

• ½ tsp mustard powder

• Oil for deep frying

‍ Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken

   • Wash and pat dry chicken pieces.

   • Season lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Mix the coating

   • In a large bowl, mix flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, basil, oregano, celery salt, black pepper, white pepper, ground ginger, and mustard powder.

3. Egg wash

   • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

4. Coat the chicken

   • Dip each chicken piece in the flour mixture → egg wash → flour mixture again (double coating for extra crispiness).

   • Place coated chicken on a tray and let rest 10 minutes (helps coating stick).

5. Fry the chicken

   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 170–175°C (340–350°F).

   • Fry chicken pieces in small batches for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 75°C/165°F).

6. Drain & Serve

   • Remove chicken, drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

   • Serve hot with fries, coleslaw, or biscuits — just like KFC!
