Despite your soft sell, the article above got me hungry for KFC. I headed down to the location on 14th street thinking pepper, salt MSG and grease--wasn't that the 4th ingredient? Alas, the line was out the door and just 2 confused looking employees were working the kitchen. Went to the Quznos next door instead. Their secret ingredient isn't so secret. The toasting thing is certainly cool, but I like the motivated and efficient staff. The colonel’s dead. Long live the talking baby.

KFC is DISGUSTING...i agree with the whole Quizno's thing. Besides, I know someone who worked at KFC and the four ingredients should be 1)DIRT-'cause the chicken tends to get dropped on the floor before being cooked, 2)SALMONELLA POISONINTG-'cause KFC has a kill date in which there is a certain amount of time after which the poultry is 'done away with'that it must be cooked but they often go beyond that date by as much as a week, 3)FAT-'cause after being cooked in all that grease isn't fat all your left with? and finally, 4)FLOUR-they need to hide the rotten green chicken with something, don't they? Happy eating!!

I reckon there more than 11, or they 'count' one spice twice, but they just say 11 to trick you.

i work at kfc and if we drop something on the floor, no matter what it is, it is disposed of instantly, we never go over the expiry dates, we actually have it down to the hour of when we can throw it out, we stock normal chicken that you would buy out of the super market, and no you would have to be dumb to think that cooking perfectly good chicken in a deep frier will result in the chicken become fat. please know what your talking about next time before you make judgements....who likes a lier, but if you think you have a point, prove it.

i have made chicken using the 4-ingredient recipe, cooked in crisco in a magefesa pressure fryer and i must say, it's pretty darn close.. the colonel may have used 11 ingredients before the company was sold in the mid-1960's, but i doubt that it's done today. i suspect that kfc also marinates or brines their chicken, but having never worked for kfc i can't say for certain...

KFC brags they have now removed the trans-fats from their cooking process. How about removing the chemical Monosodium Glutamate, which is the chemical making America fat? Labatory mice are injected with MSG when they are born and daily thereafter. This makes them huge and also addicted to MSG. America is so dumb they can't figure out what is making Americans so darn fat - it's the MSG, dummies!!!!!! It's addictive, so all the fast food chains dump hundreds of gallons of it into their product annually - all this to make you and I come back again and again to buy their product. It's the bottom line that counts. Never mind that kids as young as 3 yrs. old are now contacting cancer and other diseases we've never heard of. France uses NO chemicals or additives to their food, period, yet they eat pastries, cheese, wine, etc. and never gain an ounce. Figure it out; do the math ---- MSG is a killer which makes America fat!!!!! STOP USING IT!!!!!

I wonder what's in the hot 'n' spicy chicken =O
Posted by: | Feb 27, 2007 6:18:37 AM
hi guys
i have lived on a meat bird farm and i think its silly how they say there is no steroids in the chicken
i know for a fact there food and WATER is packed with steroids has anyone ever heard of a 3 day old chick already sprouting feathers the chicken you buy at the supermarket and fast food outlets are actually 28 days old
this is my knowledge of what i have seen while living/working on a meat poultry farm

11 secret herbs and spices??? I know one of them is chicken!
Posted by: bionic | May 25, 2007 8:52:06 AM
i think all of you are dumb and need to get a life. by the way , it could just be a cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and flour?? i dont know but i can tell you that, it's uber stupid of you to sujuest that KFC would cook anything that was out of date, or keep food on the shelfs past it’s prime. By the way Kentucky is a southen state, and in the south you use Cajun seasoning on just a bout everything. – I know this because I’m from Louisville ky. So do the math.
Cajun seasoning.
• table salt, 26 oz
• cayenne pepper, 5 tbs
• black pepper, 3 tbs
• onion powder, 3 tbs
• garlic powder, 3 tbs
• chili powder, 3 tbs
• thyme, 1 tbs
• sweet basil, 1 tbs
• bay leaf, 1 tbs
• (9) spices above
• 10 salt
• 11 pepper

Yeah I work at KFC also, They DO NOT do anything suss, god the worst thing they do is use "fines" in gravy, Fines being the excess flour at the bottom of the deep friers.
Any out of date chicken gets thrown - However it's rare to have out of date chicken in the first place since it's delivered DAILY and you generally only order enough for the 1 day.
Anything that touches the floor is thrown / washed (utensils washed, food thrown).
Oil gets changed fairly often, if you leave oil get too dirty it can catch on fire and burn down your store, so you sort of have to.
Cooks MUST wash their hands before and after touching raw chicken, flour or anything that has touched one of those two things.
Hell there are even separate colored cloths to wipe down areas so that cross contamination doesn't occur with raw chicken..
As for the seasoning - I wouldn't have a clue what's in it, No one in the management, staff, etc knows, All I know is it is fucking horrible to breath in cause it's so potent.

how the hell is MSG making america fat? you realize that MSG is in pretty much everything in japan and china? look at all those fat japanese and chinese folks! wow! talk about stupid...
if you want to rail on anything from over there, start with the soy.

Last time I checked... KFC original chicken was pressure cooked... and contained 0 grams TRANS fat... sounds ok to me!
Posted by: Rob... | Jul 10, 2007 11:45:04 AM
Who Give's a fuck what's in it. It taste fucking nice to me and i'm an Aussie. Yeah! American's might be fat but Like Duncan said Look at Japan And China.
I don't know what the Spices And Herb's are and to be totally honest I couldn't care less because it taste's wicked and if the spices and herbs were actually gross shit it would make me not want to eat it. I have about 5 mates who work at K.F.C and they say its a good place to work and they throw food out that is over dated.
I have rumours thou of what some of the herbs and spices are.
This is what I've heard.
I've heard it's got Weed in it thats why its so dam Secret, I've heard it's got Crushed Pigeon bones in it and i've heard it's got crushed chicken bones with it. But really i got betta things to do then talk about K.F.C and to be honest I don't want to know cause it reck's the fun of not knowing what it is.

im trying to duplicate it , but reasonably close would be sufficient. definitely hi salt. msg, pepper, dipped in egg/milk mix. probably a good trial & error exercise.

Look... Permit me to inject some common sense here:
If the secret recipe truly consisted of merely salt, pepper, flour and MSG then don't you think that every Tom, Dick and Harry would have opened up a Fried Chicken Store and declared: "Quick! Try my chicken which is JUST like KFC's but better, cheaper and of a higher quality!"
Here's a challenge for you: Go home, and fry up some chicken coated in flour, salt, pepper & MSG and if it comes even close to the taste of KFC then I'll give you a f**kin' medal! Coz I can guarantee you it WON'T.
Now, rock on over to my site and let's get on with some REAL research into the secret recipe!
