KFC GRILLED CHICKEN COPYCAT RECIPE | TOP SECRET RECIPES



KFC Grilled Chicken Copycat Recipe | Top Secret Recipes image

It took chefs several years to develop what would eventually become KFC's most clucked about new product launch in the chain's 57-year history. With between 70 to 180 calories and four to nine grams of fat, depending on the piece, the new un-fried chicken is being called "KFC's second secret recipe," and "a defining moment in our brand's storied history" in a company press release. The secret recipe for the new grilled chicken is now stored on an encrypted computer flash drive next to the Colonel's handwritten original fried chicken recipe in an electronic safe at KFC company headquarters. Oprah Winfrey featured the chicken on her talk show and gave away so many coupons for free grilled chicken meals that some customers waited in lines for over an hour and half, and several stores ran out and had to offer rain checks. Company spokesperson Laurie Schalow told the Associated Press that KFC has never seen such a huge response to any promotion. "It's unprecedented in our more than 50 years," she said. "It beats anything we've ever done." When I heard about all the commotion over this new secret recipe I immediately locked myself up in the underground lab with a 12-piece bucket of the new grilled chicken, plus a sample I obtained of the proprietary seasoning blend, and got right to work. After days of nibbling through what amounts to a small flock of hens, I'm happy to bring you this amazing cloned version of this fast food phenomenon so that you can now reproduce it in your own kitchen. Find the smallest chicken you can for this KFC grilled chicken copycat recipe, since KFC uses young hens. Or better yet save some dough by finding a small whole chicken and cut it up yourself. The secret preparation process requires that you marinate (brine) your chicken for a couple hours in a salt and MSG solution. This will make the chicken moist all of the way through and give it great flavor. After the chicken has brined, it's brushed with liquid smoke-flavored oil that will not only make the seasoning stick to the chicken, but will also ensure that the chicken doesn't stick to the pan. The liquid smoke in the oil gives the chicken a smoky flavor as if it had been cooked on an open flame barbecue grill. The grilled chicken at KFC is probably cooked on ribbed metal plates in specially designed convection ovens to get those grill marks. I duplicated that process using an oven-safe grill pan, searing the chicken first on the stovetop to add the grill marks, then cooking the chicken through in the oven. If you don't have a grill pan or a grill plate, you can just sear the chicken in any large oven safe saute pan. If you have a convection function on your oven you should definitely use it, but the recipe will still work in a standard oven with the temperature set just a little bit higher. After baking the chicken for 20 minutes on each side, you're ready to dive into your own 8-piece bucket of delicious indoor grilled chicken that's as tasty as the fried stuff, but without all the fat.Check out the video demonstration of this recipe.

HIBACHI CHICKEN AND FRIED RICE RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Hibachi Chicken and Fried Rice Recipe - Food.com image

This is a recipe for a full hibachi style meal. It includes the chicken, veggies, fried rice, and bean sprouts. My husband and I put together a combination of recipes that we found on the interenet and created this one. It is very good for a night in, when you do not wish to pay the expensive prices at the Japanese steak house.

Total Time 35 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 30

for the hibachi chicken
1 -1 1/2 lb chicken breast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
for the hibachi vegetables
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil
1 large white onion
1 large zucchini
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
for the hibachi fried rice
4 cups cooked rice (cool to the touch)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup white onion
1 cup bean sprouts
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons soy sauce
for the hibachi bean sprouts
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 cups bean sprouts

Steps:

  • Note: Cook the rice first, so that it has time to cool down before you fry it. Cook the chicken and veggies at the same time in two separate skillets or woks. Make sure to keep the chicken and veggies warm while you cook the fried rice and bean sprouts.
  • Hibachi Chicken.
  • Cut the chicken breast up into bit sized pieces. Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok on medium high heat. Add the chicken, soy sauce, butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink.
  • Note: Do not clean skillet. You will reuse this skillet for the fried rice.
  • Hibachi Veggies.
  • Cut the white onion into slivers. Quarter the zucchini. Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok on medium high heat. Add the white onion, zucchini, butter, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Sauté veggies for 6-8 minutes or until veggies are tender.
  • Note: Do not clean skillet, you will use the same skillet for the bean sprouts. The oil that is left over will be used for the bean sprouts.
  • Hibachi Fried Rice.
  • Chop the onion. Heat vegetable oil on medium high in large skillet or wok (use the skillet or wok you cooked the chicken in earlier). Add the onion and sauté. Sauté onion for 3-4 minutes or until almost tender enough to eat. Add the bean sprouts. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Move the vegetables to the side of the pan. Add the eggs, lightly scramble as you add them to the skillet. Once scrambled add the rice and butter. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the soy sauce and cook an additional minute.
  • Hibachi Bean Sprouts.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet or wok (use the skillet or wok that you cooked the veggies in earlier). Add the soy sauce and bean sprouts. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
