We’re all missing certain restaurant chains at the moment, but while some outlets – like Pret and Greggs – are sharing recipes for their popular menu items, others are remaining tight-lipped on their world-famous recipes.

But one poultry fanatic claims to have spent over a year perfecting the ‘secret recipe’ for KFC chicken.

Dan Fell, from Warwickshire, has revealed that it has taken him 18 months to get the chicken chain’s recipe ‘spot on’ and now he’s shared his findings with the world – so people can recreate it during lockdown.

Dan took to Twitter to spill his secret recipe, in a clip that has since been liked more than 2,300 times. 

His recipe includes five cups of plain flour, four tablespoons of paprika, two tablespoons of white pepper and garlic powder, one tablespoon of ground ginger, mustard powder, celery salt and black pepper, half a tablespoon of oregano and thyme and one-third of a tablespoon of sea salt.

Dan explains, first you need to combine the flour and seasonings together and then use three parts of the mix to one part of self-raising flour. 

He then says to give the chicken an egg wash before rolling it in the seasoning and frying it a deep fat fryer or hot oil at 162.5C.

His Twitter thread also includes a list of other tips to try along the way.

He adds: ‘Flavour really depends on many factors: the oil used, temperature, chicken temp, temp of egg wash, salt on the chicken.’

News of the ‘leaked’ recipe prompted a lot of excitement from those missing KFC’s signature chicken, with many commending Dan for his efforts.

One replied: ‘Not all heroes wear capes.’

While another excitable user commented: ‘Dan you are literally the man.’
