KFC Grilled Chicken Recipe
The original KFC grilled chicken recipe, just like the Kentucky fried spice mix is a closely guarded secret and I'm not claiming to have seen, copied or stolen the original. I just thought I'd give it a go and I'll let you be the judge of how close I've got.
The herb and spice mix that I've worked together inevitably will have a different flavor because we're using fresh ingredients and won't be adding stabilizers or flavor enhancers such as MSG.
I like to use boned chicken thighs because I think that they are the most succulent, they also go well in a bun with a salad and dollop of ketchup!
So what we've got (whether it hits the KFC taste or not) is a great spice mix for grilled chicken. Try it out, see what you think, I'd really like to know if you think we've come close or better! To make a comment, please use my page info feedback form below.
Mix up all the ingredients for the rub in a bowl and pour the 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucer. Place a chicken thigh in the oil to lightly coat it then sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken.
Let it soak in for a couple of minutes and then you are ready for the grill.
Lay each thigh onto a hot grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side turning with tongs at the half way point.
Look for an internal temperature reading of 180°F or 82.2°C to double check that your chicken is cooked through.
Does it taste like the real KFC grilled chicken? I think it's pretty close. If you're on Facebook let me know by writing a comment below.
