Does anyone have a close recipe for KFC hot wings, extra crispy chicken and Pickle Barrel's meatloaf?
-
try www.foodnetwork.com - they had dozens of meatloaf recipes
Here is the recipe for KFC Extra Crispy Chicken (marinade recipe follows)
Ingredients
1 whole frying chicken, cut up and marinated
6 -8 cups shortening ( for cooking)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon msg
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces.
Preheat the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees.
Combine the beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl.
In another medium bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients (flour, salt, pepper and MSG).
When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.
Working with one piece at a time, first dip in egg and milk then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, then the egg and milk mixture again, and then back into the flour.
Be sure that each piece is coated very generously.
Stack the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated.
Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot shortening.
Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly.MARINADE
Ingredients
2 tablespoons potassium chloride (this is one kind of salt substitute, been reading nasty things about it, I'd omit it)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
4 tablespoons msg
1/8 tablespoon garlic powder
1/3 cup bottled chicken base (a paste in a jar but you could probably use several bouillon cubes dissolved in water)
5 cups water
Directions
Mix above marinate and soak the chicken in it for 24 hours under refrigeration.
The Original Recipe is not packaged in three different places.
The way it is cooked and the process makes it taste like it has eleven herbs and spices when in reality there is not.
The way it is done in the restaurant is using dried eggs and milk in the flour along with box of breading, salt and the seasoning bag and a bag of breading flour.****personally, I would just marinate the chicken in kosher salt, a few chicken bouillon cubes and garlic.
let me know how it turns out

Fancydude, you're a superstar! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The shortening seems really unhealthy though (lol healthy kfc ;D ), how would vegetable oil turn out?
Anyone know anything about Pickle Barrel's "Best Ever Meatloaf" and gravy?

I searched everywhere for your recipe ~ 6-7 sites ~ with no luck at all. However, on Ask.com someone else was looking for another recipe ~ some Asian Salad ~ and the suggestion was to pretend to have allergies and ask what was in the Meatloaf and you would at least have the ingredients if not the proportions. Ten you could at least play with the ingredients and get as close as possible.

Lol! Does that trick actually work?! I've seen people suggest it on youtube. I've searched everywhere too, with no luck. So how would you pull it off? Say something like, "I have allergies, what's in it?" Or make 10 trips to 10 places and say "is X in it? I'm allergic to X".
Leatherbear, you are really kind to go to such extremes to help me. Sincerely, thank you. Can we talk via pm's sometime?

looked for the meatloaf, sorry no luck :cry2:

A friend & I who regularly go to The Pickle Barrel always make a crack about that meatloaf. I couldn't finish it when I ordered it. What are your devious plans if you do get the recipe?
I made a tomato peach pork loaf I might be able to recreate the recipe for if you'd like to try something yummy. :cheesy2:
