A guy spent 18 months perfecting the KFC fried chicken recipe… and he thinks he’s finally done it…

Sick of trying to bake bread yet?  Here’s your next side project.

A guy named Dan Fell from Warwickshire, England says he’s spent the past 18 months trying to figure out how to perfectly recreate the recipe for KFC fried chicken.  And . . . he believes he’s finally done it.

Yes, he either figured out the 11 herbs and spices . . . or came close enough to them that you can’t tell the difference.

He says his recipe is based on a combination of all the recipes online, quote, “tested and adjusted” until his chicken became indistinguishable from the real thing at KFC.

Quote, “[It] gets better each time.  I’d say my rate for ‘Mate, you really cannot tell the difference’ is about four out of the last five times.”

He’s sharing his recipe on Twitter now if you want to try it.  (Keep in mind the temperature settings are in Celsius.)

There’s a new peeps-flavored latte at 7-Eleven…

Here’s one from the “things no one ever asked for” department . . .

Apparently, 7-Eleven just started rolling out a new Peeps-flavored LATTE in their self-serve coffee machines in stores.

The description is, quote, “The cutest, sweetest, yellowiest, marshmallowiest latte you’ve ever had.”

That’s right:  It’s a bright yellow, marshmallow-flavored coffee drink.

There’s no word on how it tastes, but if you’re willing to risk going out into the world to try this at 7-Eleven, hopefully it’s amazing.  And you should probably call first to make sure your 7-Eleven has it.
