Answers:
FYI: KFC and many others used a solid shortening (transfat) instead of a liquid oil, maybe that is the difference you taste, see recipe below:
KFC Original Recipe (Copycat)
The way it is cooked and the process makes it taste like it has eleven herbs and spices when in reality there is not. The way it is done in the restaurant is using dried eggs and milk in the flour along with a box of breading salt and the seasoning bag and a bag of breading flour.
4-6 servings 12 min 2 min prep
2 fryer chickens, cut up into 8 pieces and marinated
6 cups Crisco shortening (solid shortening)
1 egg, well beaten
2 cups milk
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons ground pepper
3 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon msg
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash paprika
Place shortening into the pressure cooker and heat over medium heat to the shortening reaches 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the egg and milk.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining six dry ingredients.
Dip each piece of chicken into the milk until fully moistened.
Roll the moistened chicken in the flour mixture until well coated.
In groups of four or five, drop the covered chicken pieces into the shortening and lock the lid.
When pressure builds up cook for 10 minutes.
