Hi folks,

Wonder if anyone can help me.

I've tried to locate a nice recipe for KFC style Southern Fried Chicken,
but
my Internet searches have found countless recipes that either do not have
much in the way of spice in them (i.e. no more than salt & pepper with
milk - certainly nothing that could end-up tasting like KFC!), and
therefore
aren't what I'm looking for, or they end-up being bogus sites designed to
make you join an online Casino!! Arrrgggh!

Can anyone provide their best guess at what the KFC method / ingredients
are? Or, a nice Southern Fried chicken recipe (I'll not be disappointed if
it turns out to be nicer than KFC!).

I've gotten pretty close using:-
loads of white pepper
paprika
cayenne
garlic granules
self-raising flour
& breadcrumbs to bind with egg

Thanks in advance,

Matt.
