Instructions: Before you cook the chicken it has to be marinated. The original way that the Colonel used to produce his chicken was to marinate it.

The Marinate recipe is still used today at KFC for Crispy Strips which are marinated daily in 40 to 80 lbs at a time.

The amount of this marinade (below) is good for about 15 lbs of chicken.

The Kentucky Fried Chicken Marinate:
Mix above marinate and soak the chicken in it for 24 hours under refrigeration. The Original Recipe is not packaged in three different places. The way it is cooked and the process makes it taste like it has eleven herbs and spices when in reality there is not. The way it is done in the restaurant is using dried eggs and milk in the flour along with box of breading, salt and the seasoning bag and a bag of breading flour.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Original Recipe:
Place shortening in pressure cooker and heat over medium heat until shortening reaches 400 F. In a small bowl, combine egg and milk. In a separate bowl, combine remaining six dry ingredients. Dip each piece of chicken into milk until fully moistened. Roll moistened chicken in the flour mixture until well coated. In groups of four or five pieces, drop coated chicken into the shortening and lock the lid. When pressure builds up cook for 10 minutes. Release according to the Manufacturers instructions. Remove to rack and drain for 5 minutes before eating.

Beware: pressure frying can be dangerous.
