KFC Copycat Fried Chicken

I found a copy of Country Home Cooking among my papers and in this book is a recipe for KFC Copycat Fried Chicken.  Wow! This is a cookbook written by an Old Order Mennonite woman in Virginia. I am checking on the book's availability and have some other questions for the author, but once I hear back from her I'll be talking a lot more about this super book. I did find two copies on Amazon.   But, again, I'll talk a lot more about this book in the near future. In the meantime, you want to fry chicken that tastes like the famous fast-food chain?    

I think the Colonel uses 11 herbs and spices, but this Mennonite KFC Copycat fried chicken one calls for 16!

KFC has been challenged in recent years by Popeyes and Chick-Fil-A, but the Colonel still remains the iconic purveyor of poultry.  When I was living in Saudi Arabia as a child, they didn't have many American chains, but they did have KFC.  Man, it was a wonderful, amazing connection with home to be halfway around the world and see "Kentucky Fried Chicken" and a big red and white bucket emblazoned with the Colonel's likeness.

So, this recipe comes to us from a Mennonite woman in Virginia.

The above shows all the ingredients needed for this recipe (Brown sugar is also called for but didn't make the photo). And, of course, chicken. This is all you need to take on the colonel!

Most Amish Cooks would use a cast-iron pan to make this delicious copycat KFC chicken.

Amish cooks are often creative corner cutters, they like McDonald's fries, but don't necessarily want to go to McDonald's. So a good Amish cook will start playing around in the kitchen to see if they can make a copycat version!
