I don't know if you caught it, but a few weeks ago [some guy claiming to be] Harlan Sanders' grandson [or great grandson, I don't actually remember which] decided to share the KFC secret recipe with the world. I don't know the context of why he did such a thing, but I'm totally willing to test it out. Mind you, I haven't eaten KFC in rather a long time so I'm going by my memory here.

1. Sage β€” 1 tbsp and ΒΌ tsp
2. Cloves β€” Β½ tsp
3. Nutmeg β€” ΒΌ tsp
4. Cinnamon β€” Β½ tsp
5. Red pepper/Cayenne β€” 2 pinches
6. Coriander β€” Β½ tsp
7. Ginger β€” ΒΌ tsp
8. Garlic powder β€” 1 tsp
9. White pepper β€” 1 tbsp
10. Black pepper β€” 1Β½ tbsp
11. Cardamom β€” 1 tsp (secret ingredient)

Add salt and use 3 cups of cake flour.

Well I don't have cake flour on hand at the moment, so I'm just using unbleached all purpose, and it does taste like I remember.

Served with a Greek salad (minus the feta) because I'm going to be eating these damn tomatoes for another month at least, before I even have to break into the home-canned tomatoes. Yes, it's yellow and brown tomatoes in the salad tonight because that's what's ripe at the moment. It is a proper Greek dressing with lemon and oregano, though.

Edited: because I meant to attach more pictures relevant to the gardening hashtag. Edit a second time because I have no idea if this person is actually related.

@Gigi Sounds pretty good. Let us know how it is. Not likely the original though.

Oooo!
I have to say, the cardamom was a surprise, but it works.

I guess I'm going to have to actually buy some 😬 because it's been a really long time since I've tasted actual KFC, but this is fucking tasty.

@CavedaleRhones

Me: The secret ingredient is cardamom? Huh. Maybe they're Swedish. Swedes put cardamom in everything.

@Gigi Thanks for taking one for the team! πŸ˜‰
