This recipe was clipped from a newspaper, the coupons on the back are dated 1977. Is this the real Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe? Not likely but why not try it and see how close it is :). Recipe is typed below along with a scanned copy.

3 pounds chicken parts, cut into small pieces
2 packages (six-tenths of an ounce) Italian salad dressing mix

Thank you i love all the old clippings of recipes of long ago Thank you for posting them
Made this the other night for my dad who loves Kentucky fried chicken(not sure why). Unfortunately, It is not their secret recipe. It was still very good and everyone agreed that they would eat it again!! But I believe it should be called ” fried chicken, Kentucky style,” or something like that! Still, thanks for Sharing!!
Going to try this this weekend. Just read that Sanders wasn’t happy with the company and to make a long story short a new back-to-basic formula was put in place. Guess what year? 1977. Mmmmmm ??? Thank you for pinning
I love your site! I have many old clippings that I have found in the cookbooks I have inherited over the years, and it’s always like finding a hidden treasure. I tried this recipe because my husband loves KFC. I wasn’t too sure about baking it in milk, but did it anyway, and I am so glad that I did! He said it tasted so close to KFC original recipe, that he never would’ve thought that it was homemade. It was super tender and the seasoning was perfect! This will be a regular at our house. Thanks for sharing!!
I tried this recipe today and found that when I put the chicken in the oil, all the breading falls off.
What happened??
