Note

If you prefer not to use MSG, you may substitute an additional 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Be aware, however, that using MSG produces the best clone of KFC's Fried Chicken.

Colonel Sanders became famous for using a pressure cooker shortly after its invention in 1939. The cooking procedure is believed to be the other half of the secret.

In 1983, author William Poundstone had a laboratory analyze a dry sampling of the spice mixture. The analysis showed only four ingredients: flour, salt, pepper, and monosodium glutamate.

Makes: 12 pieces total.
