Cathy - I am working on the recipe myself.
Sad note - 3 weeks ago I stopped at KFC for original chicken - they changed the recipe - tasted terrible. Ditto with their coleslaw. Another recipe I'm working on.
I'll keep you posted.
BTW - someone had the chicken analyzed - no 11 herbs and spices was reported - mostly MSG and salt...........................................
I'll find the article and pass it on.

I only eat KFC's extra-crispy, and I've eaten it often and faithfully enough over the years that I can tell you the recipe HAS changed at least 3 times. (never liked their Original recipe- to me it has a greasier taste for some weird reason- which is weird because with all the extra flour- the crispier stuff likely contains more absorbed grease!) And their cole slaw? I still like it a lot- though at random times it has tasted inconsistently different. One awful time I even had some that had been frozen and thawwed- UGH!
For MY money- POPEYES is MUCH better. I dig their spicy blend- but also the mild. I had eaten nothing but Popeyes at least once a week since last March, then out of the blue tried KFC a couple times last month and the KFC was very noticeably saltier than the Popeyes.
I DO NOT like Popeye's slaw, though. However, I do LOVE their red beans & rice, their cajun rice and their chicken/sausage jambalaya rice.
And for the record, I love KFC's slaw (normally) and their potato salad. They also used to sell a very basic plain unadorned macaroni salad that I liked but the ones in my area anyway, don't offer it anymore.
