A man has been branded a ‘modern day hero’ online after spending 18 months perfecting KFC’s secret recipe.

Dan Fell, from Warwickshire, revealed his version of the famed 11 herbs and spices mix to Twitter following the closure of the fast food chain amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

The music composer claims that after more than a year of experimenting with different recipes to replicate the popular takeaway, he’s now got it ‘spot on’.

Dan Fell’s replica recipe for KFC chicken 

Ingredients

  • Five cups of plain flour
  • Half a tablespoon of oregano & thyme
  • One tablespoon of brown ginger
  • Two tablespoons of garlic powder
  • One tablespoon of mustard powder
  • One tablespoon of celery salt
  • One tablespoon of black pepper
  • One third of a tablespoon of sea salt
  • Two tablespoons of white pepper
  • Four tablespoons of paprika
  • Chicken 

Method

Add the flour to the herbs and spices. Then use three parts flour to one part self-raising flour.

Season the chicken in a mix when at room temperature.

Egg wash your chicken using egg white and milk. Then re-season in the mix.

Fry the chicken for five to six minutes at 160C to 165C before placing it in a pre-heated 80C oven – then give it a final 90-second fry prior to serving. 

‘You have to have a deep fryer and you need the right mix of the herbs and spices. Oil needs to be 160-165C no more and no less. 

‘Chicken needs to be room temperature and you use egg white and milk as the wash (no yolk). Made it about 30 times.’

Dan added that four out of five times his dish had been given a ‘you really can’t tell the difference’ compliment.

After much encouragement from people online, Dan made a video of his recipe and shared it as KFC establishments across Britain closed down because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The recipe includes five cups of plain flour, four tablespoons of paprika, two tablespoons of white pepper and garlic powder, plus one tablespoon of ground ginger. 

To the mixture, Dan also adds one tablespoon of mustard powder, celery salt and black pepper, half a tablespoon of oregano and thyme and one-third of a tablespoon of sea salt.

The chicken lover explained that basil was the 11th ingredient but that he often leaves it out as it doesn’t add much flavour to the jam-packed recipe.

Use three parts of the mix to one part of self-raising flour and give the chicken an egg wash before rolling it in the seasoning and frying it in a deep fat fryer or hot oil at 160C to 165C.

Dan warned that the flavour of the chicken can be affected by the temperature of the meat and even the egg wash, as well as the type of oil used. 

The clip, posted to Twitter, has received more than 2,000 likes and 500 retweets, with one person writing: ‘Modern day hero’.

Another thrilled person said: ‘Not the hero we deserved.. but the hero we needed. Thank you.’

A third impressed social media user wrote: ‘Not all heroes wear capes,’ while another said: ‘The world needs you Dan.’
