Home made KFC Style Chicken

I am a big fan of KFC chicken and whenever I travel abroad, thats is the first and safest choice for me to eat out. When I landed in Stockholm, I was searching for KFC outlet and un-fortunately I couldn't fine one.

So I thought to give a try at home just to satisfy my craving. To my luck, the experiment was succcess and that was approved by my wife who is also a big fan of KFC. Hence I thought to share it on my food blog. So the short and quick recipe goes like this.

Ingredients for Marinade:

dried basil - 1 spoon
oregano - 1 spoon
salt - 1 spoon
chilli powder 2 spoon
turmeric powder - 1 spoon
vinegar - 4 spoon
lemon juice - 2 spoon
1 minced garlic clove
2 spoon olive oil
1 spoon blacck pepper

Mix all the above ingredients with a little water and prepare the marinade.wash the chicken pieces and dry them with paper towels. make small cuts in it so that marinade can be absorbed properly. Then put the chicken in a plastic bag along with the marinade and mix properly so that all the pieces are coated with the marinade evenly and then keep the bag in fridge for 4-5 hours.

Ingredients for coating:

3 Eggs
1 cup milk
salt 1/2 spoon
black pepper powder - 1 spoon

mix all the ingredients above and keep aside in a bowl.

3 cups all purpose flour (Maida)
1/2 spoon salt
1 packet tomato soup powder

mix this dry mixture and keep it in a bowl to coat the chicken pieces.


Take the chicken pieces and apply first coat of egg mixture on it and then put in the dry mixture to coat it evenly. Then again apply second coat of egg mixture and repeat the dry mixture coating on top of this.

Use the same process above with all the chicken pieces.

Now heat the oil in a pan and when its hot enough, fry the chicken pieces for 15-20 minutes and then keep aside on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

When all chicken pieces are fried, heat the oven to 250 degrees and cook the fried chicken for 5-7 minutes at 250 degrees.

you can serve the chicken with chilli sauce and salad.
