This KFC fried chicken recipe I have here is a copy cat version of the original. Although this might not taste exactly as the original, it is close enough. But maybe this will taste better than the one you buy in fast food chains because the last one I ate if my memory serves me right, is not so good because it was not cooked well. Anyway I think if you want to cook your own, you can also experiment by adjusting the amount of spices in this recipe to suit your taste.
To cook homemade KFC fried chicken; Wash your favorite chicken pieces and drain in a colander. Let it stay in the colander until the chicken is pat dry. To make the coating, in a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, ground pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika powder. Set aside. In another bowl, to make the egg wash combine egg and milk and whisk to blend. Set aside. Get you chicken pieces and dip one piece in the egg wash, coat it well then put it in the flour mix and make sure it is also well coated. Remove it from the four mix and shake off the excess flour then dip it back in the egg wash coat it well then back into the flour mix and coat well.
