Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Know-Your-Farmer Organic Free Range Chicken
1 tablespoon olive oil (or more)

3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons cornmeal
1 teaspoon sea salt (I used Vegeta)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder (½ t in Elyse's recipe)
1 ½ teaspoon paprika (½ t in Elyse's recipe)
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves (½ t in Elyse's recipe)
¼ teaspoon cayene (Elyse uses ½ t)
½ teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon chili flakes (Elyse uses ½ t)

Steps:

  • Pat chicken completely dry inside and out (avoid washing regarding salmonella contamination concerns); remove innards and set aside
  • Make a cut in skin between leg and breast; push the leg away from body and leg-joint should pop open
  • Cut legs away through the joint; repeat on other leg
  • Cut through middle joint of leg to separate into a thigh and a drumstick
  • Find wing tip joint and cut through it; remove tips and set aside with stock bits
  • Remove back piece by cutting along each side of back under where leg was, between fine bones
  • Fold back piece over to expose bone joint and slice through to remove; set aside with soup stock bits
  • Find base of neck with fingers; use kitchen sheers to cut off neck at base (may take two cuts) and remove aside with soup stock bits
  • To remove backbone, use poultry shears to cut along each side of backbone; remove and set aside with soup stock bits
  • Lay breast side down, bone side up; cut breasts in half through breastbone by holding tip of large knife on board; push back of knife down and cut or slice through breastbone
  • Determine half way point in one breastbone to divide into 2 equal portions; hold tip of large knife on board, push back of knife down and cut or slice through breast producing 2 equal portions
  • Repeat with second breast; set aside and note that there are now 8 similar sized pieces of chicken ready to prepare for recipe
  • Preheat oven to 425; rub olive oil evenly onto each chicken piece and lightly season each piece with fine salt
  • Mix all dry rub ingredients together; dredge oiled chicken well to coat
  • Prepare baking sheet by covering with parchment paper and setting rack on top of sheet to enable chicken pieces to drip onto paper below
  • Place dredged chicken on rack over parchment covered or foil-lined baking sheet; bake for 45 minutes until skin is golden and crisp
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 tablespoon dry mustard
1/2 tablespoon ground French thyme
1/2 tablespoon ground dried sweet basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 tablespoon nutmeg (optional if you want the original KFC flavor) (optional)
1 cup yellow mustard (for the rub, any cheap yellow mustard)

Steps:

  • Use 2 to 3 pounds of cut up chicken - skin on. Legs and thighs work best and breasts are OK.
  • The above mix makes a lot! Start with a tablespoon or 2 and increase to coat the chicken. Toss in a gallon bag to cover.
  • Make sure that the chicken is moist but NOT WET. Frozen chicken tends to be wet. Dry it with paper towels before shaking it.
  • So what is the extra secret? Hand rub the chicken pieces with cheap yellow mustard before shaking them in the above mix. The mustard does not add a mustard taste.
  • 20 minutes per pound at 375 degrees or just at high for a Nu-Wave.

KFC CHICKEN



Kfc Chicken image

http://www.easydinnerrecipes.ca/ Colonel Sander's 11 herbs secret finally gets revealed. This recipe is as close as it gets to the original chicken.

Provided by tastetester 2

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 35m

Yield 1 chicken, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
3 beaten eggs
4 tablespoons oil
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Steps:

  • Sift together all the coating ingredients and place in a clean plastic bag. Coat each chicken piece first with the beaten egg, then with the flour mixture in the bag. Make sure you coat each piece completely with the flour.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet. Brown the chicken in oil slowly, uncovered. Once browned, cover the skillet and keeping frying on a very gentle heat until the chicken is fully cooked. Place on paper towels to drain out the excess oil.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken. Free-range or organic chicken will give you the best results.
  • Marinate the chicken overnight. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the spices.
  • Use a combination of spices. This will give the chicken a more complex flavor.
  • Be generous with the spices. Don't be afraid to use a lot of spices, as this is what will give the chicken its flavor.
  • Use a good quality breadcrumb coating. This will help the chicken to get crispy.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This is important for ensuring that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Bake the chicken for the correct amount of time. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender.

Conclusion:

Baked KFC chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your baked KFC chicken turns out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
