This secret recipe stuff always amuses me. How can you have a secret recipe with an operation the scale of KFC?
Guys at the Purchasing department at KFC: "Let's see, we need some current bids for making our "secret" recipe. Fax this out to all the food vendors. Get their bids for the best prices on Flour, Salt, Pepper, MSG, and Paprika." "Boss they are are going to need to know what kind of volume we are buying to make their bids." "Send them the standard spec sheet, you know, the one that hasn't changed in years"

KFC Original Recipe is the best fast food "fried" chicken for sale. Roy Rogers is a close second, but different.
The main secret spice in KFC is just a hint of crack cocaine. Sanders' role as one of the early chemists and dealers of crack in the South is an underdocumented aspect of his biography.

^ The eyes on your avatar are freakin me out.
Funny, I thought they were parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. I heard it in a song once.
It is now.
KFC used to be REALLY good before they started putting that stuff on the chicken to make the wings not be bloody even though they were fully cooked.
I had popeyes 2 weeks ago, great juicy flavorful, though it stayed with me a few hours (burping tasted like popeyes)
I had KFC a few days later and it gave me a stomach ache.
That's the addictive ingredient they're always talking about.
You've never been to Chicken Express have you.
Don't have them around here.
That's a shame.

Ummm... It's not like they order it like, "We need 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, one teaspoon of pepper, 1/8 teaspoon of MSG and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika. And we need that times 1000."
They're ordering the stuff by 50 or 100lb bags. Can't figure out a recipe from that.
Frying in a pressure cooker can be dangerous unless you've a pressure cooker designed for frying, so I wouldn't reccomend it for home food-prep unless you know for sure your pressure-cooker can do it.
I've made plenty of very good fried chicken. Makes one mell of a hess sometimes but worth it.

I want to know why they reformulated the Extra Crispy chicken. In the late 70s and early 80s it tasted great. Then for some reason they started marinating it in something different and it tastes terrible now. It's greasier also.
Every so often I have a craving for fried chicken, and you people aren't helping. 
Roasted is better, though - Swiss Chalet and St-Hubert rock. (I don't know if either chain has any outlets outside of Canada, though.)

Damn straight.
I'm not sure, but I think both of the Popeye's in my area still have pressure cookers. Both have excellent chicken. KFC not so much anymore, but around here they're cobranded with A&W, so a good, cold draft rootbeer goes a long way to making up for that.
This thread is going to make me drag out my fryer and make some real, good, fried chicken!
