Getting this recipe wasn't easy! Toss a like on the vid :)
Yes!
already have
So cool
@Timmy Found Free Candy no need to swear
@@user-uh5zp8xx7i no tortured animals will be used only humanely killed so halal is OUT!!!
Imagine if this was the actual recipe. KFC would be sweating buckets
maybe it is
@@xdenisx8712 that's exactly my point haha
Just work at kfc if they would tell you the reciepe then tada
i see what u did there
I'm pretty sure the original recipe doesn't have osmo salt ;-;
“I stole Colonel Sander’s secret recipe”
Plankton: *“You and I are not so different”*
They should form an alliance
Difference between Nick and Plankton
One is looking for 11 Herbs and Spices and other one is looking for a something called 'Secret Formula'

What if Mr. Krabs tried to steal planktons secret recipe?
I work at KFC and, while I don’t know the secret recipe, I can say that the cooking method was wrong. We use pressure deep fryers at 345 Fahrenheit for 16 minutes. No buttermilk, and the ratio should be about 1/3 herbs and spices to 2/3 flour. Also, I can say for sure that there isn’t paprika. The distinct red color just isn’t in any of the mixes. (Also, we do use MSG, it’s one of the few things on the ingredients list) hope this helps!
What about chicken marination, if not butter milk then?
@@shahzad1433they marinate using a marinating powder which we find at the back stock. Then, we use ice and marinate.
To cook that, we double-dredge the chicken, apparently by squeezing the air out. The flour contains a mix of milk and egg powder, a spice mix (which has black pepper for sure) and salt. Then, we fry them in a pressure cooker for about 10 minutes.
However, I find cooking chicken in a regular fryer for about 10 minutes makes them juicier.
@@i_am_the_eggman thanks bro
@@i_am_the_eggmancouldn’t it be that the marinating powder is dehydrated butter milk?
@@Orangecataura possible.

I work at a KFC as a second job, they don't train you at all to not say what's in the seasoning. The actual seasoning packets we add to the flour don't even say it.
First two ingredients: Spices, MSG
ah yes, MSG is uncle roger's girlfriend
@@chesed_yt1 Definitely! MSG is hiding everywhere.
"Spices" but what ARE those spices?
Msg fyuiooo
@@GreenBoy9000 That is the question
Great vid. The key to the taste is two things that make all the difference. The portions of ingredients (which we all know can change results drastically if they are off) and the chicken is pressure fried. I do like the fact you use the starch in the flour mixture. I usually use Cornstarch in mine instead of potato, I like the crunch it creates. Great copy cat! :)
Bro turned in to plankton💀
If this video suddenly gets taken down and Nick goes missing, it's our duty to tell his tale

Thank you, Cherry.
i shall save it on my phone just incase it does happen
@@NickDiGiovanni Yo its the man, the myth, the legend. we shall protect you.
As a kfc worker we literally don't know what's in it. Everything is prepackaged and we just mix them to marinate and bread the chicken.

My personal favourite video of yours. Great stuff, Nick!
I was a manager at KFC when I was a teenager. I can confirm, no buttermilk is used. The cooks would take the kitchen, dip it in fresh water, then seasoning.
Really? Just water? What was the temparature of the water? and would they double dip the chicken??
@@AymanWehbi Plain, cold water. Double dip for extra crispy and one rinse for original.
fun fact: the 11 herbs and spices isnt the colonel's original recipe and actually hated it. His original recipe was more like 25 herbs and spices but it was too complex or something
How can you be sure about that?
@@PeterJamesVillegas he’s the colonel himself lmao
Mr Kernel told his grandmother
Sources?
source: trust me bro
I used to work at KFC, and one thing everyone misses/forgets/doesnt have, is that the chicken is pressure cooked in an oil vat. Makes a huge difference.
That's done to speed up the cookng process I thought?
i work also at KFC in the Netherlands and we also use the same methode but like the KFC franchise is like much bigger in America then in the Netherlands for example you guys have also the spicy KFC original we only have the Regular one
Everyone talking bout working at kfc etc. I worked at McCormicks and they had a small team working on the KFC mix that worked separate hours to everyone else. I made McDs sauces whilst never getting close to the holy grail of KFC special mixture
The original the colonel fried it,
then when pressure cookers came out he used it just to cut down on the cooking time from 40 mins to 20..
I remember as youth in the 70s driving up to a KFC and smelling the Chicken before entering the building.
Victoria’s Secret is right up there with “why is water wet?” Great video nick!!
I worked at KFC. they used rapeseed oil, water for wet batter, and the seasoning was in one packet, no ingredients mentioned. people at the KFC stores won't know at all
Rapeseed you say?……holy shit there is such a thing as rapeseed. I thought you had misspelled “grape seed”.
@@Manhandle730 ahaha yes rapeseed oil is its name. Pretty common well here in the UK if it's not just generic vegetable oil.
KFC is tracking you down now, you revealed half of the secret ingredients
this guy is just such a great chef. i would pay good money just to eat what he cooks
Thanks so much for all the likes, I never thought this would blow up 🙂
That is what everyone would pay a chef for.
@@agastya9793 my thoughts exactly.

Colonel Sanders bout to make a new recipe when Nick Founds the actual and proper Chicken recipe😅
This is amazing, the fact that you got this close is brilloent even if its not exact its proberly better just because you know the oils fresh an its not been sitting there for hours 🤣
always a good day when Nick uploads
Damn, Nick went and performed a Plankton and stole the secret formula 💀
I was looking for this
Lol
Hahahaha he'll never get the real secret formula
2/3 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon thyme
1/2 tablespoon basil
1/3 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried mustard
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons white pepper
Other non kfc spice ingredients
140 grams monosodium glutamate
5 tablespoons dried egg yolks
280 grams plain flour
Chicken (any cut)
280 millilitres white vinegar
280 millilitres water
Some salt
500 millilitres Canola oil
500 millilitres Peanut oil
500 millilitres Vegetable oil
Instructions
Create chicken breading mix
Place flour in a bowl along with your 11 herbs and spices a tablespoon of monosodium glutamate and 5 tablespoons of dried egg yolks
Next create your brine with 280 millilitres white vinegar 280 millilitres water 140 grams monosodium glutamate and a pinch of salt boil
Then make your deep frying oil first in your deep pan add all of your peanut canola and vegetable oil (500 millilitres each)
And turn on the heat
Then make your kfc get your chicken cuts and place them in your brine for 10 second and place on a separate tray
After doing this with all your chicken place your chicken in
Your chicken breading mix make sure you coat it completely
In the mix
Then place in the oil fry for 6-9 minutes or until golden brown
Oops
The comment I was looking for 😂
😮You actually got the recipe right I think because I have a picture on my phone of similar ingredients but it does not consist
MSG
Osmo salt
Onion Powder
I worked at KFC on tje 90's and the packets used listed 14 items in the spice mix packet. I can't recall all of them but one was msg and another was some numbers. It was corn starch as well as plain flower and I don't recall butter milk etc. Just wet chicken tossed through the entire breading mix.
Try this way too!
I honestly think the MSG in the brine is the key.
Brine:
1 gallon water
1/3 cup kosher salt
1 Tbls. MSG
Brine In fridge for 3 hours drain and rinse.
Pat chicken dry.
Dredge:
1 C AP flour
4 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbls MSG
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground savory
1/2 tsp sage (ground)
1/4 tsp ginger (ground)
1/4 tsp marjoram (ground)
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (ground)
You can soak the chicken in some buttermilk and go right into the dredge or for Xtra crispy you can go into egg wash and back into the dredge!
Savory?
@@andrestrd it's a really old school spice with the consistency of a rubbed sage. I've never used it in any other recipe besides this one. You can get it on Amazon.
As an ex KFC employee, I can tell you that even actual workers aren't given the recipe. It all comes in bags thar are literally labeled "Original" or "Extra Crispy", and trust me one of the first things I did working there was look at it to see if I could find the recipe
Ah well since you never knew when you where an employee how about you know when you aren't an employee

1/2 tablespoon thyme

I don’t know about in the US, but here in England you can ask for a full ingredients break down for any commercially sold food due to allergies. It has to be provided. How this recipe still remains ‘officially’ a secret is therefore strange
Political Nexus
@AlexM-sg8fn Try to ask them and post it here bro! are you down?
@@MrTONY2297 sure! Im not sure how KFC legally couldn’t provide a full breakdown of ingredients as it’s now law (UK) to provide that information if requested due to allergies and intolerances - wonder how they’d get around that one? That said, I can’t be the only one to have thought of this over here!
@@AlexM-sg8fn just found the uk website with all the ingredients but Im not able to access the website. Probably because i live in Canada very weird lol

Hey Nick, I am a sub, and upon watching your videos, I would always appreciate the entertaining aspects of your videos that make them stand out from other cooking channels. However, in regards to this video I am not sure if you would want to leak something that's been keeping KFC going for so many years. KFC is known for Colonel Sander's recipe, and there is a reason why it is kept secret; it is a signature dish on the menu and is one of the most iconic foods of the 20-21st Century.
Nobody:
Nick in the future: i made the all of the fast food menu
Hey yo nick have a blessed day and enjoy yourself and keep smiling and keep up the great work.
Amazing. I wonder how close it is to the actual recipe. Both the ingredients and the ratios between them
Not even the slightest.
@@yasserhussaini2104 id say the ingredients are probably close to accurate. The amounts are what is probably different
@@ya42069 no, the ingredients are far from correct too. I’ve made this recipe before and it’s good, but so far off from kfc. There is definitely no paprika, onion, garlic, basil, or oregano in kfc chicken. Salt, pepper, white pepper, msg, ginger, allspice, marjoram, coriander, thyme and rosemary is way closer. All of those ingredients need to be finally ground and mixed, then medium ground black pepper added.
Chicken tenderloin. Breaded in: wheat flour, salt, monosodium glutamate, spices,
dehydrated garlic, modified milk ingredients, dried egg white (egg white, baker’s yeast,
citric acid). Cooked in: canola oil (dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent), TBHQ).
Contains wheat, milk and egg.
this dude is so good at cooking! i'd pay very good money for one meal. also btw the 11 spices i used were: paprika, onion salt, celery salt, rubbed sage, garlic powder, ground allspice, ground oregano, chili powder, black pepper, basil leaves, and marjoram leaves and its exactly like it!
its how i made mine!
i love the fact that he added osmo to the list
that will make it 10x better
Nick boutta catch Gordon at the end of this year calling it
He who controls this recipe controls “THEM” 😂
Some small fast food chain after seeing this: Ok, we'll use this recipe.
Hi nick, just a tip. Don’t rest the chicken on paper towels, place them on a wire rack, the paper towels will cause condensation which might make the chicken less crispy.
yup true that
Good tip there. Just bought a wire rack based on your advice! :D
He did so much to make this video for us, and I hope you hit 6M soon 🥹🫶🏻
i ate kfc in the 60`s and there aint no onion and garlic in it lol they send you on a wild goose chase
You completely bombed out.
Really thank you Nick for the dedication hard work you put into making this video and reality I loved every moment of it
After all these years, finally, mom can actually say we have KFC at home
MSG!
Uncle Rogers be thirsty for KFC now
they can shove the msg but everyting else makes the recipe I hope! Gonna try it now, awesome thanks
Thanks for helping me cook tons of recipes and not burning food
Love the videos Nick keep it up!!
Same here
Manny looked so happy to be able to be in a video and not be threatened to be fired😂❤
It's crazy how the only thing you could say beyond a shadow of a doubt about what's different between the herb & spice blends is the MSG, which isn't even an herb or a spice. That had to have been some damn good research and testing.
An old employee of kfc recently quit and decided to start his own gig in my town that man has definitely cracked the recipe and it’s pretty accurate
Let me guess, it is also secret?
Many old employees have though.... In my country (I live in Asia).....So when the KFC came here after 5-10 years many copycat Restaurant/fastfood stores popped up all over the country....... (Mostly old employees started those restaurants , Similarly with pizza hut too)
This seems too be a common occurrence especially because of Asia's copyright rules (Like the Restaurant was called ( EXAMPLE) : LFC) .....And so I hear the Russians have got their own Copycat Versions too so Russians arent suffering too much after many international Fastfood Restaurants closed in Russia (due to Ukraine-Rus war)

The FBI is coming nick, you just spilled the TOP-SECRET recipe for KFC
KFC employees are not told the ingredients. It’s all prepackaged powdered seasonings. A food scientist could probably do an analysis and tell you however.
Do they sell spicy chicken in USA KFC or it’s the original chicken? Cuz some countries sell both or just original
@@QazRiyami both in the US
I can already feel this is going to be a great video!
it was ❤❤
I work there and i would say to get the most accurate chicken would be to use water not buttermilk and double bread it for extra crispy, add msg and definitly pepper.
that was the prodigy win sound
You have to do a blind taste test to determine if you actually 'stole the recipe' we can't just take your word for it Nick 🤣
Between the allergens lists, our taste buds and smell receptors being pretty good at telling culinary stuff apart and trained animals covering what we can't, no recipe is immune to being cracked as far as basic ingredients are concerned.
However, not only are plants ridiculously plenty in variety, but some of their breeds are proprietary. Meaning that you can't ask for seeds / sapplings (or similars), and getting your hands on one of these without asking and proceeding to plant, harvest and sell them or whatever you make out of them will most likely get you a heavy lawsuit.
To top that off, the processes behind turning these plants into spices are all industrial secrets too, and other than telling whatever chemicals may end up in the final product, the owners of these secrets have no further obligations. So while our chemical receptors can tell us the difference between things made in way X and way Y, they aren't retro-engineering machines to tell us how it all arrived there. And since our allergen receptors don't care about such details, FDA won't give a damn either.
Not to say that these so-called "secrets" means that they are the best all around to everyone. When things are way too good, we simply cannot evaluate which one is the best. This is specially important when we consider popular, mass-produced food items, such as fast-food spice blends and soft drinks. They aren't made to be deeply appreciated by "sommeliers", but simply appeal to a large amount of people; So not only are people unlikely to judge these items objective, they also have no reason to attempt it.
But... While we cannot usually can (or want) to tell which one is better, we certainly can get "attached" to certain flavors, even more so when they bring us nostalgia or, quite the contrary, gives us something new to appreciate.
Thus, keeping your exact recipe a secret is less of a way to avoid people attempting to make similar or "better" stuff, and more of a measure to keep a strong grip over said item's identity and all the popular culture that was built over them.
Sanders Up in Heaven: “HES TOO DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT ALIVE!”
I worked at KFC as a fry cook when I was younger and we were never told anything about what’s in the seasoning. We were to take a bag of flour that literally just said “flour” and mix it with a bag that literally said “salt” and as someone who cooked since I was a kid I would taste the salt and flour and would try my best to call it out and this is what I came up with;
So the color of the salt alone gives off an Adoboish yellow color. I remember getting notes of oregano, white pepper, salt, black pepper, and the MSG is a no brainer. Other than that I will also say that KFC’s level of freshness is probably one of the best out of any restaurant I’ve ever worked at. The chicken is always delivered super fresh and we were expected to constantly change the chicken out of the warmer every hour and 30 mins. Also expected to clean our pressure fryers out every day if not every two days depending on how busy we got. That also played a part in the taste of the chicken.
Love the video and love the food 🍲
1:39 I thought mannny quited?
Manny was ready to risk it all with that kfc employee
Man’s now gunna get tracked down by the KFC goons, stay safe Nick.
Give this man a Medal of Honor for his bravery
For those who don't know KFC doesn't use the same ingredients as the original recipe. The secret recipe thing is just for marketing, i belive someone debunked this on a tv show by talking to an actual relative of the colonel
The Ceo of KCF must me shaking right now
i used to work at kfc and that seasoning does look very similar to the stuff we used
I know one of his Secret spice that's salt lol.
Salt is not a spice.. same with MSG. That's why he had a total of 13 ingredients. 11 herbs and spices and salt and msg.
wouldnt it be easier to take a piece of it and bring it to a scientist so they could analyze it and so?
I feel like the easiest way to find out the original recipe is too literally just experiment with what was the most common spices during the time of colonel sanders, experiment with flavor mixing etc until you discover thee perfect taste
That is amzing that you fou d that actually herbs and spices! So Cool😁
Most interesting detective adventure for a food recipe
For this , giving a like to this video is 👌🏽👌🏽
Hey Nick, even if you used the exactly same spices as the original recipe, you are still not frying it right, because at KFC they use Henny Penny pressure fryers..
also kfc doesn't use batter its just flower with spices
