How to Make Almost Kfc Spice Mix For Chicken Copycat

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon celery salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon dry mustard, 2 tablespoons paprika, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon dried thyme, 1 tablespoon dried savory, 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 1 tablespoon dried basil, and 1 tablespoon dried oregano.
  2. Store the spice mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
  3. Prepare your chicken: Steam or poach chicken pieces until fully cooked and tender (about 10-15 minutes depending on size and thickness). Let cool slightly.
  4. Beat 2 large eggs in a shallow dish. Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the egg-coated chicken in the spice mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
  6. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully place chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Adjust cooking time based on chicken size.
  8. Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade KFC-style chicken!
