We start with a flavorful combination of 11 spices you already have in your pantry and combined them with flour and brown sugar to create the makings of that savory KFC crunch you crave. After that, it doesn’t get any easier than dredging the chicken and frying it up in hot oil. If you’ve ever wondered how to make KFC chicken, the secret is here.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoons onion salt

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

1/2 teaspoon dried sage

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

1 1/2cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 whole chicken (2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks, 2 wings)

1 egg white

2 quarts neutral oil, for frying

Preheat fryer to 350°F. Thoroughly mix together all spices.

Combine spices with flour, brown sugar and salt.

Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture. Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken. Repeat with all the chicken pieces.

Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit

Fry chicken in batches. Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes. Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.

Let chicken drain on a few paper towels when it comes out of the fryer. Serve hot.
