KFC Fried Chicken & Gravy.....

The Colonel has been feeding my family with his classic chicken for years. I thought it was time for me to try to make his delicious crispy chicken recipe at home. My KFC Colonel Fried Chicken is close to, if not exactly, as delicious as the Colonel's secret recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon celery salt
• 1 tablespoon onion salt
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 2 teaspoons sweet basil
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 2 tablespoons dry mustard

Instructions:

1. For every 2/3 cup of flour add 3 Tablespoons of spice mixture. 
2. Dip par-boiled chicken pieces (cooled) in flour mixture, then in egg and milk mixture, then shake in bag with flour mixture again. 
3. Deep fry till golden. (cook at 400 degrees F for 30 min if you want it to be extra crispy.)

KFC Style Gravy

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons butter or vegetable shortening 
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
• 1 piece chicken cube 
• 1 piece beef cube 
• 2 1/4 cups water 

Cooking Procedure:  (Servings yield 4)

1. Dilute the beef and chicken cubes in water. 
2. Heat a saucepan and put-in the butter. Let the butter melt under low heat. 
3. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook in low heat while continuously stirring for 7 to 8 minutes or until the color turns medium brown. There is a tendency that the flour might burn when overcooked or if high heat is applied. Be extra cautious. 
4. Add the remaining flour and continue stirring. 
5. Gradually add the chicken and beef broth (the result of procedure 1) while stirring. Continuous stirring is needed to prevent lumps from forming. 
6. Put the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes more while stirring once in a while until the texture thickens. 
7. Serve hot with fried chicken or mashed potato.
