Preparation

Step 1

NOTES:
DO NOT OMIT OR SUBSTITUTE WHITE PEPPER OR MSG. MSG IS THE INGREDIENT WHICH ENHANCES THE SEASONINGS TO AN AUTHENTIC BALANCE, AND GIVES KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN ITS SIGNATURE SWEET FLAVOR. FOR THE GROUND CARDAMOM, USE A COMBINATION OF GROUND BLACK CARDAMOM AND GROUND GREEN CARDAMOM (USE 1/2 TABLESPOON OF EACH). USE TELLICHERRY BLACK PEPPERCORNS, AND WHOLE BLACK CARDAMOM PODS, GROUND INDIVIDUALLY IN A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER. GRIND BLACK CARDAMOM FINELY, THEN SIFT TO REMOVE HUSK FIBERS. USE MARION-KAY BRAND GROUND (WINTER) SAVORY AND MARION-KAY CHILI POWDER 1000 HOT. GROUND (TURKISH) BAY LEAVES MAY BE ORDERED FROM MARION-KAY SPICES AS WELL. FOR BEST RESULTS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GRIND VANILLA BEANS YOURSELF. ORDER GROUND TAHITIAN VANILLA BEANS DIRECTLY FROM WILLIAMS-SONOMA. EGG WHITE POWDER IS SOLD IN MOST HEALTH FOOD STORES. MIXTURE IMPROVES AFTER 30 DAYS IN A TIGHTLY SEALED CONTAINER.

MEASURE the BASE MIXTURE and 11 SECRET HERBS AND SPICES ingredients into a large sealable container, such as a GLAD food storage container or a Ziploc bag: 1/2 cup fine sea salt (or popcorn salt), 4 tablespoons MSG, 3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder, 2 tablespoons egg white powder, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 4 1/2 tablespoons finely ground white pepper, 3 1/2 tablespoons ground Tellicherry black pepper, 2 tablespoons ground dalmatian sage, 1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander, 1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger, 3 3/4 teaspoons ground allspice, 3 3/4 teaspoons ground winter savory, 3 3/4 teaspoons ground Tahitian vanilla beans, 1 tablespoon ground cardamom (1/2 tablespoon black, 1/2 tablespoon green), 1 1/2 teaspoons ground Turkish bay leaves, and 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned hot chili powder.

BREAK up any clumps if present with a fork.
SEAL the container.
SHAKE container to mix well.
STORE container sealed and store in a cool dry place.
WHEN ready to use, measure 6 level tablespoons of this mixture plus 2 cups pre-sifted all-purpose flour into a large re-sealable container.
SEAL the container with flour and seasoning; SHAKE well until thoroughly combined.
