About this Recipe

This recipe is an ode to that favorite chain with those 11 secret herbs and spices. Now you can get those classic flavors at home, without a deep fryer or a trip through the drive through. Just make sure to marinate and double dredge—that’s what the colonel would have wanted. Chef Andrew recommends a strong hot sauce to accompany all this crispy chicken. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes - we love fries or cole slaw.
