KFC Style Chicken, Chips & Gravy
KFC Original Recipe Chicken is a memory from most peoples childhood and adulthood. Although the secret blend of 11 herbs and spices is a closley guarding secret its fun trying to copycat the recipes and recreate that famous taste at home. Without a industrial deep pressure fryer its difficult to recreate that famous crispyness, but with a deep fryer we can get pretty close. No KFC is the same without that famous gravy and I think I have got the taste pretty close, so why not give this a try and make a family feast you can enjoy over and over again at a fraction of the price of the real thing.
