~Chicken~
1 whole chicken, cut in pieces to KFC spec (or 8-10 legs and thighs)
~Flour Mix~
2 cups Brodie (or equivalent) self-raising cake/pastry flour
1 tbsp Sugar, light brown
4 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp MSG
1 tbsp Black Tellicherry Peppercorns, medium ground
1 tsp White Peppercorns, fine ground
1/2 tsp Coriander seed, ground
1/2 tsp Dry Mustard
1/2 tsp Rosemary leaves, ground
1/2 tsp Sage, ground
1/2 tsp Savory leaves, rubbed
1/2 tsp Tarragon leaves, rubbed
1/2 tsp Cayenne
1/4 tsp Celery seed, ground
1/4 tsp Ginger, fine ground
1/4 tsp Nutmeg, ground
~Brine~
5 cups Water
1 tbsp Vinegar
1 tbsp Salt
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp MSG
1 tbsp Black Tellicherry Peppercorns, course ground
~Egg Wash~
1/2 cup 2% Skim Milk
1 Whole egg, beaten
No double-dipping required
~Cooking Instructions~
Pressure Fryer - 325F, 10 minutes (2 open and 8 closed) per Colonel Sanders patent
Deep Fryer - 338F, 12 minutes
Keep batches (5 piece max/batch) warm in 200F oven until both batches and side dishes (i.e. French fries, Tasti-Taters) are complete.
Btw, for those who are counting, I consider Black and White peppercorns to be one item.
Although many people do, I don't consider Salt, Sugar or MSG to be part of the 11 herbs and spices. I consider them to be additives and/or flavor enhancers.
