Bruh can you type
Food Theory: Complains that recipes online dont tell us proportions
Also food theory: Doesn't tell us how much citrus acid and additional 99-x to add
Maybe it’s on the website that everyone has been crashing (Marion Kay)?
theyre not directly showing the recipes so i dont see any problem
the citric acid is true, but the 99 is shown
True
@Jacky Lau THANK YOU
I’m not surprised the citric acid made the 99-X taste more similar to KFC. Citrus is such a great chicken additive that definitely improves the flavor especially when fried/baked.
@Kareem Sarhan never heard of baked chicken before?
What if it was just pickle juice
@@romanlegion5837 that could be it strangely enough. Kfc ain’t against using pickles
I always use an acid in any chicken dish.
@@RichardServellotry fluroroantimonic xD, but seriously WHY DOES IT ALWAYS TASTE SO GOOD WITH LEMON
maybe the 99-x, plus the citric acid, PLUS the tellicherry pepper mentioned at the pressure cooker manufacturer interview wouldve been the perfect combination
Plus buttermilk with 2 eggs instead of regular milk for the wet soak.
Plus 100g of dried milk and 100g of dried egg in the breading like other commenters said.
I also think the pressure fryer plays more of a role than people think and does something beyond reducing cooking times.
Double 99x + 100g dried milk + 100g dried egg + 50% extra salt + tellicherry pepper + dredge in buttermilk and egg mixture before breading + pressure fryer + citric acid in the oil = perfect fried chicken? 🤔🤔
"It's the little things that matter"
@@RefinedRandy why would colonel sanders release 99-x as a hit piece if it was missing tellicherry pepper
I'm drooling from the fact that I"m basically from tellicherry (very close to it).. but ofcos here we call it thalassery

This is a LIE. KFC is in Finland as of 2021, they were not present due to issues with local laws and could not find partners.
The bs people spread on the internet. 😂
So fun fact: here in Brazil (and maybe in other countries in South America, idk), using fruits like lime to spice up chicken is very common, and it is delicious
Oh I live in America and I have seen that done and do that myself didn't know it was a Brazil thing
It's also done very often in Argentina
It’s also done in Arabia
I feel like Matpat made food theory just so that he can include takeouts as part of their business expenses.

Harland Sanders didn't use the pressure fryer for taste, you know. He invented it himself, for speed.
@Kareem Sarhan That's what they said in The Food That Built America. I have no reason to doubt their claims.
...and tenderness. Pressure cooking breaks down proteins and makes the meat fall apart/tender - fast.
False.
"Winston Shelton is known for developing the Collectromatic, a pressure fryer, at the request of Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken."
Trust but verify. You'll look less foolish.
He WHAT?? that's actually so cool, the man INVENTED it???
@@Natp69The story as I know it goes like this: Harland Sanders wanted to give people fried chicken at his bussiness (I think it was a gas station, though I'm not too sure), but chicken takes a long time to fry normally, and if he just prepared some, he could end up having only hours-old chicken to serve. Now, there were plenty of pressure COOKERS already, but in order to use it to fry something, he had to reconfigure it so it could stand up to the higher temperatures - especially the seals, which he had to replace with metal ones. This took quite a bit of trial and error on his part, and once it was working, he still had to work out the propper time and temperature to fry the chicken, as well as the propper batter to coat the chicken in. So yeah, I wouldn't say it's too much of a stretch to say he invented it.

Yeah like 23 flavors in Dr.pepper thats just prune soda lol
@@lrdjoker007 wait Dr.Pepper isn't actually made from pepper extract?
I thought the Krabby Patty was made from crab
Looking back now i think the reason why some of the chicken didn't come out as flavorful (like the nephew recipe) was probably because Mat and Steph never marinated the chicken before frying them
I noticed this too, they just applied the seasonings to the batter without prepping the chicken beforehand.
i was wonderting about that too, but in this case, how would u marinate the chicken?
@@abhinavyadav13 Marinate might be a bit of a misnomer. You can do what is called a brine. Place the raw chicken in heavily salted water for at least a couple of hours before you prepare the breading. Make sure to pat the chicken completely dry before you do, though. What this does is impart some extra salt directly into the meat and adds to the juiciness. Conversely, you can do a sort of marinade in a milk or buttermilk solution. If I do that, I like to use buttermilk and infuse that with a bit of pickle juice and a smaller portion of the spices that are used in the flour mix.
@@abhinavyadav13pickle juice and some milk for an hour in the fridge
I remember a friend of mine from America came over to visit me (I live in Scotland), and their favourite thing to do was to eat at fast food restaurants because they're allergic to soy, and we don't use soy oil over here!
To elaborate, in the UK, we use vegetable oil, sunflower seed oil, or just plain old butter to fry things as its harder to get soy over here.

@@p3pgamingofficial or the dc crossover comic
@@xavierninness394 chill ddy
here's my food theory: the last recipe you tried with the citrus added to it is the true recipe, BUT because it was made in a small kitchen deep fryer instead of an industrial sized pressure fryer it was slightly different. The other reason behind it tasting different is because KFC is made by sweaty teenagers in a rushed environment that isn't always so clean just gives the chicken that extra oomph that it has.
So fun fact from someone who has worked at multiple kfcs in the US at least the extra crispy is cooked in an open vat deep fryer while the original breading is cooked in a pressure fryer and they're two different types of breading

I used to work at McDonald's. Mac Sauce and Thousand Islands dressing consist of very very different ingredients. Taste them side by side and you'll notice the much tangier taste of Mac Sauce.
I worked on a marketing campaign for KFC and I can say if citrus was the missing component, it was a complete accident. They took us on a tour of the facilities so we’d know a bit more about the company and explained that only 1 person in the entire world knows the recipe. And to get to the recipe you need 3 people to unlock the vault. So if the citrus is the answer, that was just a happy coincident.
Fun fact.
My Dad used to work at KFC years ago when he was a teen. And stole some of the spice mixed flour to make some chicken at home. AND IT DIDNT TASTE LIKE THE CHICKEN FROM KFC. So I think the pressure cooker and possibly the oil is the main issue.
ya, a master chef buddy also worked at a KFC years ago and mentioned that 'all the spices were not as important as the pressure cooking.' Salt/pepper though are important. The whole issue nearly drives me to drink.
@@bobsquires4521cheers brother
@@bobsquires4521 chef buddy has never had good homecooked fried chicken that poor soul is damaged.

It's also brined overnight in a buttermilk mixture.
Buttermilk is as easy to make as adding some fresh lemon juice to milk, and letting the chicken sit in that overnight.
Probably could get the same results plus a more tender chicken that way.
Also thinking they may add baking powder to the flour as well, the combination of the acidity would help the batter fluff up more light and crispy like fish batter.
I would love another episode like this or a follow up of some kind. I eat while watching food theory and this has been the best one for that purpose. I dunno, seeing food in a sciencey, exciting setting makes it easier to cook my own food

As someone who worked at a KFC for a few years, I can say that not all KFCs use pressure fryers, because we sure didn't.
You have to for original chicken, but the extra crispy chicken doesnt need a pressure cook. This is because of the Milk and Egg bag goes wrong in the open fryer.
Watch the chicken coming out to have "coke" as the flour, that's why it's so addictive
ive had kfc once and never again

Remember when you suggested that the Krabby Patty secret formula was more or less marketing hype? I get the feeling the “11 herbs and spices” is probably the same deal
That actually makes a lot of sense
He probably knew about it but he
wanted content
I would believe it, but that is marketing fraud, and if ever found out the company would lose its customers, and at the same time probably be hit with a class action lawsuit, the risk of lying outweighs the risks of saying "11 spices" over just saying "a secret spice blend". Now take into consideration the controversy created by subways foot longs "not being a foot long" ( which I'm not saying it wasn't a stupid court case, it is, very much so, just it's a good example how using exact can work as good marketing, but when that its exactly as said... well ya get the point). The issue with faking exacts is someone can find out by testing it. Not that testing it always works, but the reason you test a hypothesis Is because there could be random variables

Todd Wilbur is officially the new Colonel Sanders!
4:15 Genuine food theory idea. Idk if it would be long enough for a whole video but. A theory on why so many “secret” sauces are just thousand island and if they actually are thousand island without modifications. Maybe a taste test of the sauces against thousand island, like what you did for the Diet Coke but without the tournament, unless you wanna make it a tournament to find the best secret sauce.
The problem with any taste test like this is that it ignores a hugely important aspect of taste: psychology. People are going to think that what they're tasting doesn't taste like KFC because they know it's *not* KFC. To do this right, you'd have to put every test subject in a KFC bucket, and serve it as if it actually *is* KFC to unsuspecting customers.

I don't work at KFC anymore it was casual job in my younger days I'd say keep experimenting until we find the nearest taste to OG KFC
Now what about that heavenly zinger sand which sauce that I love.
Seriously, I love it so much I've been trying for months to figure out what it is.
Truly a mystery for me!

I’m actually surprised we haven’t had a theory about Diet Coke yet
Because then he would have to confront his not-at-all concealed caffine/L-Phenylalanine addiction
