The Other Problem is KFC has changed the Recipe so many times its unreal for many countries and situations time and time again and there are getting fewer and fewer who remember the Original Chicken Taste from the 1950's or 1960's I honestly don't know the taste from them times but I would dearly love to try some original CHS fried chicken,I just know that I love the taste of KFC from now here in Australia, but what I mean is there is no recipe that is not kept secret (that I know of) that is universally recognised as an exact copycat of the KFC from now times, as mentioned there are a thousands videos on Youtube that claim to have cracked the code, but are there any that everyone who has made it has said yes that is it, that's exactly what I taste when I buy from my KFC ?
As for KFC being on a fishing trip to see if anyone else knows their recipe, probably, but hey they are a fun and generous company at least here in Australia, but I don't think there is an ulterior motive for doing this, just KFC having a bit of fun and maybe some positive media coverage.
As for MSG that is definitely the main taste when I eat my KFC chicken, the MSG after taste and smell lingers for a long time afterwards.

deepfriednew101, I have been experimenting with both yeast and caraway. Yeast is yummy as it provides umami, but it makes the breading stinky and doesn't add a particular flavour. It is being used a lot in processed foods to boost flavour, even more so after MSG nowadays has a rather bad reputation in some circles. It's a lovely ingredient, but I don't think it's one of the 11.
Caraway is an interesting one. But the aroma is not as strong as one would expect. Caraway is being used a lot in northern and eastern european cuisine, to the point that you get bread buns almost completely covered in caraway here. This is only possible because caraway looses a lot of aroma during cooking and baking. It would reach its peek by roasting in a pan without oil. I have tried different amounts in my recipe and couldn't even notice it. Maybe it just cannot stand up to star anise, which I had used in each case.

what type of yeast are you using. I DO NOT know why your getting a different smell or stink ?
yes caraway breaks down but is something which has been used
I agree Anise is a stronger flavor and aroma

Nutritional yeast, sold in flakes. It's a common item now, since vegans and vegetarian seem to like it too. They use is like Parmesan cheese sprinkled on salad. Not stinky in a super negative way though  But it does have a cheesy scent. But the industry uses yeast extracts anyway, which I couldn't find. Have you had both? |
