I received my container of Marion Kay Chicken Seasoning in the mail today. It's supposed to be the Colonel's original seasoning that he gave to the company after KFC changed the recipe for his original fried chicken. I purchased a whole chicken, and cut it up into breasts, thighs, drumsticks, wings, an a back.
I took the neck, and giblets and boiled them in plain water for an hour, the removed all of the meat from the neck, and chopped the giblets, and neck skin. I blended that into the broth until smooth. I'll be using that to make gravy, to go with rice. A touch of the chicken seasoning added to the gravy should give it the same flavor as the original KFC gravy, as he used bits collected from the bottom of his pressure fryer to make the gravy. I'll make a roux, season it, ant use my very chicken forward broth. I'm expecting good things tonight.
The chicken has been soaking in milk, combined with a bit of vinegar for about 3 hours now. It should be very tender, and juicy.
I'll post pictures, and let everyone know how it turns out. Just wish I had some cabbage. I'd make some KFC style Cole slaw. I will be making some doctored Bush's beans, this time with a hint of chili powder (copied from a long gone chicken place from when I was a young boy. I loved those baked beans).. All I can say is that I'm expecting -
.
One time, after freshly eating some of the Colonel's chicken, before the recipe was changed, I made the attempt to duplicate the flavor. I nailed it, but didn't write it down
. I knew approximately what I had used for seasonings, and created my own chicken breading mixture. It is tasty, and the one person I gave the recipe to, told me it was the tastiest fried chicken he'd ever made. Of course my head swelled a bit. But I could never again duplicate the Colonel' original recipe
. So it is with great anticipation that I'll be making fried chicken tonight.
