maybe the 99-x, plus the citric acid, PLUS the tellicherry pepper mentioned at the pressure cooker manufacturer interview wouldve been the perfect combination
@RefinedRandy Рік тому
Plus buttermilk with 2 eggs instead of regular milk for the wet soak. Plus 100g of dried milk and 100g of dried egg in the breading like other commenters said. I also think the pressure fryer plays more of a role than people think and does something beyond reducing cooking times. Double 99x + 100g dried milk + 100g dried egg + 50% extra salt + tellicherry pepper + dredge in buttermilk and egg mixture before breading + pressure fryer + citric acid in the oil = perfect fried chicken? 🤔🤔 "It's the little things that matter"

He WHAT?? that's actually so cool, the man INVENTED it???
@beterbomen 6 місяців тому
@@Natp69The story as I know it goes like this: Harland Sanders wanted to give people fried chicken at his bussiness (I think it was a gas station, though I'm not too sure), but chicken takes a long time to fry normally, and if he just prepared some, he could end up having only hours-old chicken to serve. Now, there were plenty of pressure COOKERS already, but in order to use it to fry something, he had to reconfigure it so it could stand up to the higher temperatures - especially the seals, which he had to replace with metal ones. This took quite a bit of trial and error on his part, and once it was working, he still had to work out the propper time and temperature to fry the chicken, as well as the propper batter to coat the chicken in. So yeah, I wouldn't say it's too much of a stretch to say he invented it.

@YoshihitoBLM 4 місяці тому
@@abhinavyadav13 Marinate might be a bit of a misnomer. You can do what is called a brine. Place the raw chicken in heavily salted water for at least a couple of hours before you prepare the breading. Make sure to pat the chicken completely dry before you do, though. What this does is impart some extra salt directly into the meat and adds to the juiciness. Conversely, you can do a sort of marinade in a milk or buttermilk solution. If I do that, I like to use buttermilk and infuse that with a bit of pickle juice and a smaller portion of the spices that are used in the flour mix.

@kaylinalaska6117 Рік тому
here's my food theory: the last recipe you tried with the citrus added to it is the true recipe, BUT because it was made in a small kitchen deep fryer instead of an industrial sized pressure fryer it was slightly different. The other reason behind it tasting different is because KFC is made by sweaty teenagers in a rushed environment that isn't always so clean just gives the chicken that extra oomph that it has.
@marshallrush7717 Рік тому
So fun fact from someone who has worked at multiple kfcs in the US at least the extra crispy is cooked in an open vat deep fryer while the original breading is cooked in a pressure fryer and they're two different types of breading

I worked on a marketing campaign for KFC and I can say if citrus was the missing component, it was a complete accident. They took us on a tour of the facilities so we’d know a bit more about the company and explained that only 1 person in the entire world knows the recipe. And to get to the recipe you need 3 people to unlock the vault. So if the citrus is the answer, that was just a happy coincident.

It's also brined overnight in a buttermilk mixture. Buttermilk is as easy to make as adding some fresh lemon juice to milk, and letting the chicken sit in that overnight. Probably could get the same results plus a more tender chicken that way. Also thinking they may add baking powder to the flour as well, the combination of the acidity would help the batter fluff up more light and crispy like fish batter.

You have to for original chicken, but the extra crispy chicken doesnt need a pressure cook. This is because of the Milk and Egg bag goes wrong in the open fryer.

I would believe it, but that is marketing fraud, and if ever found out the company would lose its customers, and at the same time probably be hit with a class action lawsuit, the risk of lying outweighs the risks of saying "11 spices" over just saying "a secret spice blend". Now take into consideration the controversy created by subways foot longs "not being a foot long" ( which I'm not saying it wasn't a stupid court case, it is, very much so, just it's a good example how using exact can work as good marketing, but when that its exactly as said... well ya get the point). The issue with faking exacts is someone can find out by testing it. Not that testing it always works, but the reason you test a hypothesis Is because there could be random variables

4:15 Genuine food theory idea. Idk if it would be long enough for a whole video but. A theory on why so many “secret” sauces are just thousand island and if they actually are thousand island without modifications. Maybe a taste test of the sauces against thousand island, like what you did for the Diet Coke but without the tournament, unless you wanna make it a tournament to find the best secret sauce.
@FTZPLTC 2 роки тому
The problem with any taste test like this is that it ignores a hugely important aspect of taste: psychology. People are going to think that what they're tasting doesn't taste like KFC because they know it's *not* KFC. To do this right, you'd have to put every test subject in a KFC bucket, and serve it as if it actually *is* KFC to unsuspecting customers.

Allspice, or Summer Savory are all that make the UK vs US recipe vary... the bulk of the "secret" is several versions of peppers... try adding both allspice and dried savory to the 99-X and proceed (1/4 to 1/2 tsp allspice and 1 to 1.5 tsp savory per 2 cups flour). Add coriander for that "citrus" note.

I didn't pay much attention to the actual seasonings used but I do know the chicken was dipped in water and then dropped in the flour + seasoning mix (and then dip the already flour covered chicken in the water again and then in the flour again, for extra crispy) back when I worked as a cook there. Definitely a lot of pepper in the recipe though...
