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.
For later.
The local KFC is horrible! I can go forty miles and get better KFC chicken.
it depends on the store.
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 keep getting kicked off the link.
Bump for later.
LMAO!
I like Popeye’s chicken but I think the sides are awful.
