[Steiner84]

Metal Solid Gear?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Someone should send it to Popeyes maybe their chicken won't taste like complete trash

 

[Ensoul]

Oh shit...KFC bout to go outta business. Either that or more KFC like places start popping up.

Well somehow McDonald's stays in business and everybody knows their recipe.

Roll
shitty hamburger meat.
ketchup
mustard
onions
pickles.

 

[Dyno]

Just last week I was making chicken breast for dinner and since we were light on ingredients I decided to wing it. I floured the breasts and while they were pan frying i sprinkled a lot of salt, pepper, and italian seasoning. The whole table agreed it tasted alot like KFC.

Salt, pepper, and itakian spices are more than half of the list it seems.

 

[crazygambit]

KFC is trash. I'm going to Popeyes yall.

Pretty much.

Particularly in my country. KFC is literally inedible over here.

And I know what literally means.

I like Raising Cane's but don't you think their batter could have a little more spice?

Colory Salt

Anyway not buying it - seems like this recipe is "accidentally revealed" just about every other year.

 

[The Iron Yuppie]

I really dislike fried chicken myself, but I bet my parents could get a lot of mileage out of this recipe.

 

[DarkJediKnight]

So has anyone tried it? The only way to be sure.

 

[blame space]

finally, a way to prepare and eat chicken.

:scust

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Man, I haven't been to KFC in over a decade.

 

[dity]

I hear that the flour is actually Colonel Sanders' bones ground into a fine powder. That's what makes it so crispy.

 

[Pyrrhus]

Just how tall do you think the Colonel was?

 

[jstripes]

I've been to Sanders Cafe. I'm honestly not surprised at all that the recipe was hidden somewhere in all that memorabilia.

If only chemists existed. We could find the recipe out very easily.

"According to the gas chromatograph, the secret ingredient is… love."

 

[sixteen-bit]

KFC is trash. I'm going to Popeyes yall.

IBTN

 

[LiK]

i never really noticed it tasting that special. tasted like fried chicken.

 

[Alavard]

Damn, my guess was so close:

 

[Permanently A]

Someone should send it to Popeyes maybe their chicken won't taste like complete trash

too obvious

 

[spindashing]

Oh snap, time for another money match?

I defended the colonel's honor and defeated the awful opposition and I'm willing to do it again

 

[webkatt]

Just how tall do you think the Colonel was?

12 feet tall

 

[DeathyBoy]

What's the matter you never had a flaming moe before?

 

[Darryl]

poor dude has probably spend his life shopping this recipe around and no takers, and finally decided to leak the goods in exchange for a story

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

KFC is trash. I'm going to Popeyes yall.

The quality of the KFC chicken itself is garbage tier. Last time I had it, each piece had very little actual chicken. It was mostly just bones. Very disappointing.

And for whatever damn reason, the KFCs around me are always extremely dirty, and have about a 75% chance of screwing up your order no matter how simple it may be.

 

[entremet]

Man, I haven't been to KFC in over a decade.

They're locales look decrepit. Popeye's been killing them.

 

[TheRealTalker]

what eve

but if it was Popeye's recipe

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I feel sad for the people excited about this...

 

[Darryl M R]

Is this as valuable as the Krabby Patty formula?

 

[DarkJediKnight]

i never really noticed it tasting that special. tasted like fried chicken.

It's not the chicken itself. It's the crispy skin. Say what you will, but when you crave that KFC golden, floury skin, nothing else will do.

 

[Goo]

Isn't the Chick-Fli-A recipe the one we really want?

High fructose corn syrup and prayer mixed with two cups flour.

 

[jett]

plot twist: no one actually wants the KFC recipe

lol

[AndyD]

Just cross referenced it with the leaked one from a few years back and the only difference I see is salt vs. onion salt. So it was almost right on back then.

 

[FinKL]

Just so you guys know, MSG was also a confirmed ingredient, not written down.

 

[Smokey]

I tried Popeyes in America. It was greasy, disgusting slop. I'm not huge on KFC but damn, Pop eyes was some nasty arse shit.

You're wrong

And that's OK

 

[Ninja Scooter]

what eve

but if it was Popeye's recipe

Here's the Popeyes recipe:

Take bland chicken and fry until it's crusty and flakey.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

They're locales look decrepit. Popeye's been killing them.

There's only like one or two left in the area anyway, in weird out of the way places.

If I want chicken I generally go to Raising Cane's, not for quality of food, but simplicity and quality of service.

Their menu is literally Chicken strips, bread, and fries. It's hard to fuck up.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

KFC fried chicken is horrible in the uk their burgers are ok because of the sauce, it tastes like sodium.

 

[Fury451]

I thought this was already known to some degree, but maybe the quantity to use wasn't.

Regardless, the "secret recipe" is basically a marketing gimmick. Knowing the recipe isn't going to result in everyone suddenly making their own. You go to KFC for convenience of not making overly salted and soggy fried chicken yourself, or desperation.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

They changed the recipe long ago. Sanders tried some KFC after he sold off the thing and lamented on how shitty it was.

That bad?

 

[jstripes]

They're locales look decrepit. Popeye's been killing them.

It's true. I love the chicken, but 90% of KFCs I've been to look like someone gave up on them somewhere around 1992.
