Salt/Msg
Black pepper.
White pepper.
Garlic/onion powder
Celery seed
Mustard powder
Hot pepper (cayenne or any hot chilli)
Tomato powder (yes tomato is in it, NOT paprika) I've done enough back and forth between paprika/tomato and tomato is much more suited. Paprika takes it to a cajun direction
Fenugreek seed
Ginger
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Allspice
Cardamom
Coriander
Nigella seed
Parsley
Sage
Rosemary
Thyme
Oregano
Marjoram
Basil
Bay leaves
11th Chicken Bouillon.
My quest is done. I may not have it 100%, but i can tell you the bulk of the flavour and note comes from all of those ones. I know i have it atleast 95% correct just from the Kentucky aroma that develops when i start mixing all those together.
I really don't see the need to add anything more. I have removed caraway seed and custard powder.
Last ingredient to possibly add in is anise seed. And i still need to see what cocoa powder does, but other than that i am FINISHED!
I haven't posted the ratios because i will need to do 3 more cooks to get it dialled in. But i am happy with every single ingredient i listed.

Fenugreek is a legume plant. I’ve read it would have a reaction to people with peanut allergies and probably not in the recipe without disclosure.

Key points:
For best results every single ingredient must be DANK!. In other words, delicious and strong smelling. Jamaican ginger from Marionkay makes a tremendous difference also.
Aroma = flavour. Once the terpenes evaporate you are simply left with plant matter.
Do not attempt to recreate my recipe if you don't have every ingredient strong smelling.
People who don't understand the importance of having potent, quality herbs/spices will never succeed.
Herb/spice quality consistency has gone down tremendously since Sanders days.

Glittering generalities, but no gospel. My recipe is atleast 95 - 99% the real deal. When you understand basic cookery, you will understand why my recipe makes sense. That's the biggest thing i see with all these people trying to crack it, they LACK a basic understanding of cookery. The first thing these people should be doing is educating themselves on cooking. Guess what? Colonel Sanders was highly knowledgeable in COOKING! he knew what herbs/spices worked together and what ones didn't. The fact i see people do things like include both clove/allspice or mace/nutmeg is moronic! "oh i add both clove/allspice which are already similar and now i will have the recipe!!" then not to mention the people who think there is only 11 herbs/spices LOL! You guys are all never cracking it. Goodluck! |

Tomato powder (yes tomato is in it, NOT paprika) I've done enough back and forth between paprika/tomato and tomato is much more suited. Paprika takes it to a cajun direction I have tried it too, and there is something. It imparts a savory-ish taste to the chicken. I think 1 tablespoon per 2 pounds of chicken will do. |

In many Test attempting to recreate Fried chicken many who used The tomato Soup mix as described by Gloria P ALL SAID it made Better chicken taste.
Fixitup Videos who Tested 60 KFC style YouTube indicated that Tomato powder Made Great Chicken But it needed more work for a KFC Taste
In other Test A Vegetable Dry Soup also made Great Flavor BUT those usually had a Dried Tomato in the Veggie Mix.
In many of the Tomato Soup Mixes they contain Red Sweet Bell dehydrated also

Glittering generalities, but no gospel. Indeed! But to be fair, anything resembling Kentucky Fried Chicken gospel is about as aloof and elusive and open to interpretation bias as is actual Gospel. |

Tasted some paprika on its own vs tomato powder on its own, and tomato is the clear winner.
Even a small pinch of tomato has incredible sweet delicious flavour. Paprika tastes almost like nothing in the equivalent amount, and the taste is too Mexican like.
Cayenne powder is already in the recipe, and works much, much better than paprika.
Paprika also stains oil, and tomato powder doesn't because you don't need to add much to get flavour off it.
Can confidently exclude paprika from the recipe. It doesn't fit at all.
