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).

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.
