Someone has perfected their own homemade KFC recipe - here's how to make it for yourself

As we all prepare for the UK lockdown to continue, most of us are missing our favourite restaurants, bars and being able to meet friends - with many of us craving popular treats such as McDonald's or KFC.

Now one man - Dan Fell from Warwickshire - has shared a recipe he has developed so that we can make KFC-like chicken at home.

Dan says it took him over 18 months to perfect the recipe, which mimics the fast food chain's unique blend of 11 herbs and spices.

Posting on Twitter, Dan said, "I’ve cooked this a huge number of times, you get better each time.

“I’d say my strike rate for "mate you really cannot tell the difference” is about four out of the last five times. I’ll take that.”

Dan added that the secret to success is all about having a perfect combination of ingredients, and offers this advice, “You have to have a deep fryer and you need the right mix of the herbs and spices. The oil needs to be 160-165C no more and no less, and the chicken needs to be room temperature and you use egg white and milk as the wash (no yolk).”

Anyone wanting to try it at home can follow the recipe below, as posted on Dan's video, which has over 58,000 views.
