How to Make Kfc Chicken

  1. In a blender, combine the following (excluding flour, eggs, and milk): [Insert blended herb mixture ingredients with measurements here - see ingredients section]
  2. Blend for 3-4 minutes until a smooth paste forms.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until light and frothy.
  4. Gradually add the blended herb mixture to the egg and milk mixture, stirring until well combined.
  5. Spread flour evenly on a large baking sheet or plate.
  6. Dip each chicken piece into the herb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Then, dredge the chicken in the flour, pressing gently to ensure the flour adheres.
  8. Repeat the dipping and dredging process (herb mixture, then flour) for an extra crispy crust.
  9. If using a pressure cooker, follow manufacturer's instructions for frying chicken. Otherwise, heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 365°F (185°C). To test the oil temperature, drop a 2-inch square of bread into the oil; it should turn golden brown in about 60 seconds.
  10. Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  12. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade KFC-style chicken!
