Ingredients You'll Need:
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon thyme
1/2 tablespoon basil
1/3 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried mustard
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons white pepper
1 cup buttermilk
Vegetable oil for frying
Step 1: Marinating the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of salt.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the buttermilk mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 2: Creating the Secret Seasoning Blend
In a separate bowl, combine the flour with all the herbs and spices: thyme, basil, oregano, celery salt, black pepper, dried mustard, paprika, garlic salt, ground ginger, and white pepper.
Mix the seasoning blend thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Step 3: Coating and Frying the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy pan to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off.
Coat each chicken piece generously with the prepared seasoning blend, ensuring an even coating.
Gently place the coated chicken into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a wire rack to drain any excess oil.

Serve your deliciously crispy chicken hot and fresh, alongside your favorite sides like creamy mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or biscuits.
Get ready to wow your friends and family with your culinary prowess and the uncanny resemblance of your homemade KFC chicken to the real deal!
