K.F.C. Dropped the Ball

I don't waste any time brining my chicken because it does nothing to the cooking note/aroma. Brining isn't going to suddenly turn your chicken into kfc. I use slow grown chicken, milk/egg wash, and that's it. I don't even eat much of the chicken i cook because this is a science experiment for me, not dinner. Once i crack the recipe then i will brine my chicken and be enjoying homemade original recipe chicken 😀

If you Look Back into KFC History and C.H.S.

This is a Key Part of ALL His Stories

When he went around to 1009 Locations Trying to see if they would sell his Chicken and/or take on a Franchise being Throw out of many Fine Restaurant's.

C.H.S. in his car had a 50Lbs. Tin of Spices and Herbs and a Ice chest Filled with Chicken (Had to Brine/Cure the Chicken Do to NO refrigeration and C.H.S. slept in the Car because he was to Broke for Hotel Rooms. He said Many locations he stopped at Gave His Ice which he used in the Ice chest to keep Chicken cooler. Brine Items kept the Bacteria and Smell out of the Chicken while tenderizing the Meat to the Bone.

So Proof that the chicken was Brine/Cure. In the 1970's K.F.C. New Age installed Tumble Marinade Machines In-house (FAILED MASSIVE EQUIPMENT)
There are Videos and Photo's which show the Machines and Photo's of the Marinade Powder Bags on the WWW

Yes you can make ANY chicken fine without Wet Brine/Cure BUT it will typically NOT be as Moist and flavored to the Bone.

Dry Brine is A Great way to add Flavor and Adding extra seasoning to the Meat helps Flavor depth Profile. Even a Salt Pepper Sprinkle Help.

Knowing the Process the chicken you purchase is Key also was the Chicken Pumped at Processor or Not ? (Liquid injection which is been common since 1980's)

KFC Manuals also speak about Marinade of chicken and many KFC NEW videos show the Process In house used (other Countries)

I will try and post a better Photo the light screwed up the Photo

Thanks

Study the Photo and see what is in the Photo ?

K.F.C. will know ?
