Colonel’s Secret Recipe nailed?

from the Guardian:

After bailing out of his job at JP Morgan, Ron Douglas made it his mission in life to work out a series of recipes that perfectly replicate the food served in American fast food outlets, and then to publish them in book form for the edification of his nation’s foodies. Most controversially of all, he reckons he’s finally nailed the secret recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

America’s Most Wanted Recipes, published by Simon & Schuster is, as yet, unavailable here in the UK. Douglas attributes the special deliciousness to an abundance of MSG in the coating, and the use of a commercial pressure fryer which, he points out ” … makes the texture real gummy [and] gives it an aroma that you can smell a mile away,” (Mmmmmmm! Move over, Nigel Slater). He adds, “Most people can’t do it at home.”

so this is Ron’s recipe:

‘KFC’ mix
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons Accent (MSG)

a must-try this weekend, right?
