What started as a travel story for the Chicago Tribune has morphed into one of the biggest fast food recipe reveals: the original recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken. The story of the how the recipe was (literally) placed into a reporter's hands started simply enough. A reporter travelled to the Harland Sanders Cafe and Museum and met with Joe Ledington, the nephew of Harland David Sanders (AKA Colonel Sanders).

Keep all the chicken, I’m a sucker for the sides at Popeyes’, ESPECIALLY that Cajun Rice!

Popeye's definitely beats the pants off of today's KFC, but it wouldn't have compared to what I cooked in '69 at Kentucky Fried Chicken! :-)

YUM! Brands, current owners of KFC, will NOT be pleased.
They are going to sue him for every penny he’s worth.

I do a LOT of cooking, and I can say without a doubt that the proportions listed are NOT correct for only 2 cups of flour. If the amounts were teaspoons, it would work, but NOT tablespoons.

Now, if someone made a spice MIX using this recipe, Tablespoons and all, the question would then be, how much of the spice mix does one use for every 2 cups of flour? I’d say..maybe 2 tablespoons off the top of my head.

Most of the ingredients were pretty easy to figure out, and the recipe differs from my own by only a couple of ingredients in addition to the proportions.

I’ll try the ginger and mustard when I make dinner tonight.

One other ingredient I use which isn’t listed is either romano or parmesan cheese..abt. 1 tablespoon per 2 cups of flour.

One way you can know that the amounts listed in the recipe is wrong is to add up exactly how much salt it contains. I LIKE salt, but there are roughly 4 TABLESPOONS of salt for only 2 cups of flour!

Now, if the recipe called for garlic POWDER or ground celery SEED it might make a little more sense, but you wouldn’t use a full tablespoon of ground celery seed for 2 cups of flour either.

So ya, there’s definitely something amiss with this recipe. I wonder how well it would work with say...a half gallon of flour?

I still think someone threw the spices together and then used a couple of tablespoons of the spices for 2 cups of flour...for convenience sake.

Mine has the same pickup config although it has only VOL/VOL/TONE controls and no Varitone knob (fortunately - I think they are hideous).

The newly-updated model has a better bridge and fretboard than mine.

I like Popeye’s better, anyway. Then there is Smithfield’s in the south — to die for. The mid-states have the best gas station fried chicken anywhere at Royal Farms.

It isn’t a problem since KFC doesn’t use it anyway. The recipe today is primarily salt.

I like Popeye’s chicken but I think the sides are awful.
