This is the closest I've come to the original KFC recipe. They deep-fry theirs in a pressure fryer, and I pan fry this in only 4 tablespoons oil, so I think mine is much healthier.

Ingredients

8 serv.

whole chicken, cut into pieces↗1
eggs, beaten↗3
oil4 tablespoons
flour↗2 cups
paprika↗4 teaspoons
salt↗1 teaspoon
pepper↗1 teaspoon
poultry seasoning1 teaspoon
oregano↗1 teaspoon
tarragon1 teaspoon
parsley↗1 teaspoon
thyme↗1⁄2 teaspoon
chives1 teaspoon
garlic powder↗1⁄2 teaspoon
onion powder↗1⁄2 teaspoon
teaspoon celery salt1⁄2

Step-by-step instructions

1
Sift flour and add to it all the seasonings, after having ground them fine with a mortar and pestle (a blender works well, too) Place coating in a plastic bag. Dip each piece of chicken in the beaten egg, then place in the bag and shake, making sure each piece is well coated.
2
Heat oil in large skillet and brown chicken slowly, uncovered, until all sides are nicely browned. Cover the pan and continue to fry slowly, turning pieces occasionally for about 50 minutes, until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
3
Drain on paper towels.
