My parents had a copycat book back in the 80′s when KFC was still as good…and it had MSG a-plenty. Thats why it isnt as good anymore…no more MSG in the mix.

I worked at Ginos in Maryland back in the 70′s. Ginos sold KFC. I cooked it. I don’t know what was in the ingredient pack because it was pblank white paper, but I do know that we dipped the chicken in an egg wash before breading it. There wasn’t any kind of soaking at all.

Pablo:
In my first sentence the point I was trying to make is that even Kentucky Fried Chicken isn’t the same as it used to be. The KFC you buy today does not have the flavor the original Kentucky Fried Chicken did. Nowhere near it.
Surely the owners must be out of their minds for not using the original ingredients. Why would they not? After all, they do have stiff competition so why be foolish enough to worry about a possible extra cost for the right spices and herbs. It just doesn’t make sense!

Oh, you’re absolutely right. This isn’t the same recipe Col Sanders used. But, because it’s so highly guarded, nobody can claim to know what’s in the recipe. This is meant to give a VERY similar taste. But, it’s not an exact duplicate.

You know good and well that today’s Kentucky fried Chicken is not the same thing we used to get back in the 1960′s and early 1970′s. The taste just isn’t there.
The recipe reads instant tomato soup is an ingredient. That is an insult to anyone’s intelligence. That junk wasn’t even around when the old man started selling his chicken. Besides,he was as tight as the bark on a tree and I’ll guarantee you he didn’t spend a penny more than he had to for spices.
Someone come up with the truth of the recipe. It was so unique.
