this is going to premiere Friday night at 9 PM Pacific time here. I'm not sure what time it would be premiering East Coast time. Maybe 9 PM there too. I saw this guy that wrote this book on the news and in promoting the book. Of course, but it was going to be on CMT television. On the news they made their knockoff recipe of KFC chicken and the taste test. They couldn't taste the difference between the real thing and the knockoff recipe. So they said. Anyway, if somebody you want to watch it. Here's a link to CMT copycat recipe premiere.

here's the KFC knockoff recipe from that site on CMT.
Todd Wilbur's version of KFC® Original Recipe Fried Chicken*
October 3, 2011
This recipe is for deep frying. If pressure frying, cooking time will be shortened to 12 to 14 minutes.
1 frying chicken cut into 8 pieces
Brine
8 cups water
1/3 cup salt
1 tablespoon MSG
6 to 10 cups soybean oil (vegetable oil)
Breading
9 ounces all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon MSG (monosodium glutamate)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground tellicherry pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground savory
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground majoram
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garclic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Dredge
4 eggs
2 cups skim milk
1. Dissolve 1/3 cup salt and 1 tablespoon MSG in 8 cups water. Add chicken and marinate for 2 hours. Remove chicken from brine, rinse with water and blot dry.
2. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 300° F.
3. Make the breading by combining all ingredients in a large bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk.
5. When the oil is hot, dip each piece of chicken in the egg and milk mixture and then press into the breading. Toss each chicken piece in the breading until well-coated, let chicken sit for 2 minutes in the breading, shake off the excess breading and fry 2 to 4 pieces at a time (or whatever your fryer can hold) for 18 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown. Drain chicken on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.
TIDBITS
If you want to keep the chicken warm until it's all cooked, place the fried pieces on a rack on a baking sheet and keep them in your oven set to 200° F.
