I know KFC has a bad reputation nowadays but I used to really like it. The last time I was in a KFC it was like no one even cared any longer. But, if I can make it at home..... KFC recipe revealed?

KFC was good about 25 years ago before they went full blown multinational corporate and thus using the mass industrialized food preparation and logistical system.
When I want fried chicken I'll go to a local mom & pop place or Popeye's. At least the chicken at Popeye's still tastes like actual food.

It's people isn't it? KFC is made of people! KFC is as good as where you find it. Never got a good piece on one of those KFC/Taco Bell locations. But if you are lucky enough to find a busy KFC only restaurant, it tends to still be pretty good. I am more disappointed in their biscuits, though. They used to be so fluffy and buttery. Now they taste like dry cardboard.

Exactly. But if this recipe is authentic, or close to it, I'll make my own KFC at home, the way it used to be! I wonder how you get "Extra Crispy"?

We used to have a really good KFC in town, but the original owner died about 20 years ago and it ended up closing. (He was the originator of KFC's chicken tenders.) The nearest KFC now is 70 miles away. Recently I was near that KFC and stopped to buy some chicken. I had a craving for some 'original recipe'. It doesn't taste anything like I remembered. I probably won't be going back.

The biscuits are a joke at KFC. I don't even think they qualify to be called "biscuits". Maybe they should be called hardened flour disks?

I wish we had one closer to my area, nearest one is in Milwaukee and it's hard to get a group of friends with rifles together to visit that craphole for a weekday chicken fix.

Anyone tried the recipe supposedly leaked? I've been looking for this recipe for a loong time. I've not, but I intend to.

Popeye's is the choice. And make sure you ask for a few packets of their Cajun Sparkle. You have to ask for it.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Bojangle's beats Popeye's, but not by much. Their biscuits can be a meal all by themselves. Church's comes in a close 3rd. KFC is just...I don't know WTF KFC is now LOL

why is MSG considered so bad?
i wonder if the people who bash it know what the purpose actually is?
IMO it's not as bad as it's been made out to be, it basically intensifies existing flavors Some of us are very sensitive to it. Myself, I get exceptionally dizzy and my mental facilities become very clouded. I know this because I used to get that way after eating certain foods and could never figure out why--eventually discovered they all had MSG in them. Also, there is some data out there from some studies that have been done which show that MSG can cause over-stimulation of neurons leading to cell death. Whether this is true or not... who knows? Most of those studies suffer from confirmation bias. I just know it makes me feel bad and know a few other people who have their own set of symptoms after being exposed to it.
