In the 1970's when I first started cooking and collecting recipes there
was an article in our newspaper food section about one persons quest to
duplicate Kentucky Fried Chicken. The author claimed that he'd shown his
recipe to Colonel Sanders and that he'd smiled and said that this recipe
was pretty close.

I have no idea if the dry tomato soup mixes are still available (or how
they might have changed over time), but here it is:

3 C flour
1 T paprika
2 envelopes tomato cup a soup
2 packages italian dressing mix
3 lb cut up chicken

Mix together dry ingredients. Add chicken pieces and shake to coat
well. Deep fry until golden and place on baking sheet. Brush chicken
pieces with melted butter and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
