Homemade KFC Seasoning Mix

The Secret Ingredients:
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon oregano leaves
1 tablespoon powdered sage
1 tablespoon powdered ginger
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons dry minced parsley
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons onion salt
2 tablespoons powdered chicken bouillon
1 package Lipton Tomato Cup-a-Soup mix

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender (or mason jar blender) and pulse until they become nearly powder.

Makes about 3/4 cup.

Combine all ingredients and seal in ziploc or vacuum seal bag (or jar) or spice jar.

To use with flour, add 1-ounce mix per 1 cup of flour for coating chicken. Dip the raw chicken pieces in a mixture of egg/water and then dredge in the seasoned flour. Repeat for an extra crispy coating. Fry or bake chicken pieces as desired. This mixture also works great for chicken fried steak as well.
