Classic Review: KFC - Original Recipe Fried Chicken

KFC's Original Recipe Fried Chicken is the flavor most deeply associated with KFC. Much speculation has been made as to what exactly makes up the Colonel's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, the recipe of which is guarded under lock and key at KFC headquarters.

KFC currently has a special where you can get 6 legs and thighs for $5.

KFC's Original Recipe Fried has a unique, deep herby flavor that sets it apart from other fried chicken. I've always like the herby flavor of Original Recipe although it's sometimes a little too salty.

Texture-wise, the breading is crisp but without a pronounceable crunch. If you want something with more breading and crunch, there's always Extra Crispy but the flavor is different. Of the two, I prefer Original Recipe as a unique flavor I've always known as KFC.
