KFC Chip Seasoning Recipe

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings: 12 (about 1 tsp per serving)
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp fine salt
  • 1 tbsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp MSG
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • ½ tsp celery salt
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and stir together for about 30 seconds until the color is completely uniform with no visible streaks.
  2. Rub the dried oregano between your fingers before adding if you haven't already, then stir once more to distribute it evenly.
  3. While your cooked chips are still hot, sprinkle 1 to 2 tsp of the blend over 4 servings of chips and toss immediately for 20 seconds so the seasoning coats evenly.
  4. Tip onto a plate or bowl, add a light pinch of seasoning from a height over the top, and serve straight away.

Notes

The blend keeps in a sealed jar for up to 3 months, so it's worth making a double or triple batch. Season the chips while they're still hot from cooking, because that's the only window where the seasoning sticks properly. If you're skipping the MSG, add an extra ¼ tsp of fine salt to compensate.
