We can attribute a lot of that famous flavor of KFC chicken to MSG. Dr OZ challenged me to replace the MSG without losing the flavor we have come to love. You may be shocked at what I came up with - but you will not be disappointed.

1. Dissolve 1/3 cup salt in 8 cups water. Stir in fish sauce. Add chicken and marinate for 2 hours. Remove chicken from brine, rinse with water, and blot dry. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Make the breading by combining all ingredients in a large bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk. When the oven 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 arrange on a baking sheet that has been thoroughly sprayed with vegetable oil non-stick spray.
4. When all of the chicken has been breaded, spray each piece with the oil spray until the breading is completely moistened.
5. Bake chicken for 40 to 45 minutes or until it’s nicely browned.

| Great loved it. Family enjoyed it. Bit on the salty side from the brine. I didn't have savory but it still tasted good. Moist crispy and delicious. I did have heaps of left over egg from the dredging. If ure readin this comment make sure u use 1/2 the quantities for the dredging. Im definitely gonna be makin this again. Thanks |

| We tried this recipe using what we had. Substituted fish sauce for soy sauce and bread crumbs for corn bread mix. For the Dredge you don't have to use 4 eggs and 2 cups milk. I only used 1/2 of that with much bigger pieces of chicken and more and had MUCH of the egg wash left over. Don't waste it! Also, be careful not to overcook the chicken but make sure you cook it to 170 degrees. Overall, love it! Will be using this again! |

| Just made this chicken but I couldn't find fish sauce for the brine. My family all enjoyed the chicken & I will make it again since I have all the seasonings. Not bad, nice flavor |

| I prepared this recipe last night ( Fri) and one of my daughter stated right off the bat that it tasted just like KFC. I didn' take skin off though and the chicken I bought was a bit bigger that what you get at KFC... Just cooked it for 20 minutes more an left it in the oven on warm 30-hour. Very tasty, moist and juicy. |

| I just looked this up because I remember years ago seeing this recipe and never tried it. Our family bought food out from KFC for my birthday last evening. We spent almost $45. I know their food is way too overpriced AND I woke up with a headache. I asked myself "I wonder if KFC uses MSG? because whenever I wake up with a headache it is usually after I ate out and I think the restaurant is using MSG. To my avail, by looking here...they do! I will make this from now on and save a whole lot of $$ |

| Todd, I sure appreciate you trying to copy KFC's chicken but it just didn't taste the same but it was not a bad knock off of Shake & Bake! Keep trying... |

| This was absolutely, positively, AWESOME! Tastes just the real thing! No sage or savory though, store was out and my sage was moldy. |
