That recipe is as old as Gloria P information and I think many tried the recipe which many dispelled
I would suggest cooking it if you have NOT to use it as a comparison

If it’s an earnest ad, it could be the corporation targeting its consumer base. I still recall that as late as the 80s, spiciness still tended to be bland in the US. Since my palate is somewhat geared towards spicy, I remember being disappointed when restaurants and products advertising “spicy” tended to be on the bland side.
Also, the 50s corporation must still goad the population to visit its restaurants. So, the consumer must still consider the product superior to what they can do at home.

So much for posting only bare bones recipes into a bare bones recipe thread. That didn't take long.

For many, many, many years (70-80 years or so?), people have tried, unsuccessfully, to reproduce the note with every possible herb and spice they could find. Let me quote a very famous person: One day, I was making some noodles for myself. The brand was " Indomie," and the flavor was "Special Chicken Flavor." After opening the package, a familiar scent greeted me. Was it the same as KFC's "The Note"? It didn't came from the little spice packages. It came from... the noodles themselves.  Here in The Netherlands (NOT "Holland"... please...) when I buy KFC's OR, I just smell fried chicken and a lot of pepper. Thats it. When I buy Hotwings, "The Note" that everybody is talking about is overwelming. Me think that the distinctive note doesn't originate from the herbs and spices but rather from a completely different 'element' in the recipe. Therefore, I have organized a portion of this forum into various ingredients. I dare all of you to try and discuss all kinds of elements/ingredients and not limiting (y)ourselves to just herbs and spices...  DutchGuy |

There is an ongoing discussion on the other site regarding Cardamom as the aroma note bringer. The aroma note doesn't really concern me, but if that's all it takes, that seems easy enough.

Those type of noodles are dehydrated by deep-frying. Could just be the seasoned oil used. |

But last summer I was walking my dog and on the other side of the crescent I live on. One of the house the smell coming out of it was dead on "the note". Honestly as strong as at minimum what driving by a KFC in the 70's. It caught me off guard TBH as I never expected that. While there is a chance another random person within 15 houses is also an amateur KFC sleuth. The probability is low. So whatever they were cooking, the spices they used nailed it. I did cruise by a couple nights after in the event I could catch someone out to see if I had the courage to "ask". But no luck. |

I need EVERYONE EVERYONE to Understand something
With over 4 decades of experience and decades in a KFC kitchen Franchise and lifetime in and out of the KFC Kitchens around the world
I want you to Know the reference word NOTE is AROMA the taste is the taste.
when we use FRESH OIL CLEAN FRESH Oil and turn NO other Pressure cookers on then cook the first batch's of chicken which is 36 pieces average. 4 Birds
THERE IS NO KFC Note Aroma immediately it takes the 3rd Pressure pot to start waffling the Aroma More Noticeable.
The flavor of the Chicken is Also much lower than the third pot when the Oil gets seasoned.
Try this Test at Home cook your chicken in ANY POT Do Not care then cool the Oil over night
DO NOT scrap or clean the Oil let the slurry settle
Start heating the Oil the Next Day on very Low Heat and slowly stir the Oil let it settle and cool then drain off the Top 95% oil or almost ALL except the slurry
Cook your chicken in that Oil and NOTICE a much more distinctive Aroma,
Remember KFC cooks 100 times more Chicken in there Deep Fryers than YOU Do At Home.
Willie If you Have a association with a KFC ask them for some marginally used OIL which has been cook Many times and Try cooking ANYTHING in that OIL it will be So KFC infused YOU will See what I mean.
The aroma and Flavor Builds with seasoned Oil Proven OVER AND OVER
