Ron Douglas’ Fried Chicken
Finger lickin’ good!
Did Ron Douglas’ interpretation of KFC’s fried chicken make your mouth water?
Then you have to make it at your next family gathering!
Preparation:
Make sure the oil is at 365 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the chicken. To avoid making a mess, use a utensil when adding the chicken. Quickly lock the lid on the pressure fryer once all the pieces of chicken have been added.
For crispier chicken, use Crisco instead of lard and double-coat the chicken with the flour mixture.
Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1 (3-pound) chicken, cut into 6 pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons Accent
1 can lard (or one 3-pound can Crisco), enough to cover chicken in fryer
Directions:
1. Combine the egg and buttermilk in a large bowl. Soak the chicken pieces in the mixture.
2. Add the flour to a separate bowl and fold in all the herbs and spices.
3. Roll the chicken in the seasoned flour until completely covered.
4. Add the lard to a pressure fryer and heat to 365 degrees F. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions for your pressure fryer.
5. Use a utensil to lower 4 pieces of the chicken into the hot oil, and lock the lid in place. Be careful not to burn yourself with the hot oil.
6. Allow to fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
7. Once the pieces are cooked, release the pressure according to the manufacturer’s directions and remove the chicken to paper towels or a metal rack to drain.
8. Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of chicken.
Makes 6 pieces

Just made this recipe 10 minutes ago, and unfortunately it’s not even remotely close. — and believe me these ingredients are expensive. I bought everything listed in the recipe and it came to $67 including the chicken!. Decent enough chicken, but more like typical homemade than KFC. Someone correctly made a comment about the chicken turning too dark too soon. TRUE. I’m not a good enough cook to know the ingredients that cause that, but it was too dark.
Unfortunately I threw my batch out after a couple of bites. Fried foods are a treat for me, not to be wasted for some regular homemade tasting chicken – I’m heading to Popeye’s!

I tried your KFC chicken. Too much MSG.

This recipe is NOT anything like KFC in my opinion! Too much salt, too much paprika, instantly turns the chicken dark as soon as you start cooking it, making it hard to judge doneness. In all fairness, I did pan fry as opposed to pressure frying but I expected the taste to be better. A waste of time and expensive ingredients! On a scale of one to ten I’d give it a three.

I Love your show! I was able to watch this summer, it was fun! My question is why don’t men like a strong, single, black woman without kids? I am 38 yrs. old. I love to travel by myself and have fun. I can’t find a man that likes my independence as much as they say they do. I have went on dates. But, they are cheap, boring and want sex. I am thinking about going outside my race. What should I do? I have been on the chat lines too. Men today, want sex without getting to know you. I thinking about a sex toy for the first time. Should I take that route instead.
Help Me,
Pam

Great Job Wendy you are so real and I love it, and you cant please everyone and those who are offended when you keep it real with constructive critique, it is what it is. Also inside every real critique is some truth and if anyone is obese and it is something obvious, it is not real to be hung up when someone says something and you should consider the source that from Wendy it Aint Malicious, it is well intended with a good heart. She just keeps it real and that is what I love about her. People like Oprah, who complain but have a chef,all the best to lose weight and still gain the weight over and over. I have no compassion for but we everyday people try and may or may not lose weight but be comfy in your skin and just be healthy.
One thing Wendy always says is she is a big girl, but she is healthy and fine just like she can be because she did something about it and keeps it off. She carries her weight, wings and herself with finesse, love it and she always speaks the truth whether some are offended are not. Sometimes the truth hurts and if it does, fix it for yourself but dont censor the truth. Wendy you are the best and will be better than Oprah because Oprah is not real with herself, it is all show and ratings and you related to all people no matter what race etc.
Thanks for being WENDY.

I LOVE YOUR SHOW. You may not know this, but your show is a blessing for me and lots and lots of others (including your haters, they’re watching you too). Finally, somebody that places it ALL on the table, just like me. Keep up the good work girl. We love you.

I think Wendy should think a little better before she speaks. On todays show, September 2, 2009, while during her “Ask Wendy” she made a comment that offend me and possibly some audience members. When she saw the picture of the lady that lost 100 lbs, she said she was fat, in the picture. Then she did the ‘fatty, fatty, two-by-four’. How rude was that? Not only do overweight people watch her but she had big people in the audience, some may have been bigger than the lady in the picture. I just believe Wendy should be a little more concerned and put more thought into her comments before she starts chanting hurtful, childhood phrases.

OMG I just cannot believe someone finally cracked the code for KFC’s actual recipe. People around the world have been trying to search for the secret code of the 11 secret ingredients (herbs and spices). It takes a real genius to figure this one out, but if don’t want this recipe you seriously must be on something.
