KFC Gravy

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 can Campbell's chicken broth (plus 1 can of water)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon MSG or Accent Flavor Enhancer
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

First make a roux by combining the oil with 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour in a medium saucepan over low heat. Heat the mixture for 20-30 minutes,stirring often, until it is a dark chocolate color.

Remove the roux from the heat, stir in the rest of the flour, abd
add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan; mix well.

Put the saucepan back over the heat, turn it up to medium and
bring the gravy to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until thick.

KFC Honey BBQ Wings

Sauce
1 1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

6-8 cups vegetable oil
20 chicken wing pieces
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon MSG

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until ingredients are well-combined and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes. As sauce is simmering, heat up 6 to 8 cups of oil in a deep fryer set to 350 degrees. Combine the beaten egg with the milk in a small bowl. In another small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper and MSG. When oil is hot, dip each wing first in the flour mixture, then into the milk and egg mixture, and back into the flour. Arrange wings on a plate until each one is breaded. Fry the wings in the oil for 9-12 minutes or until light, golden brown. If you have a small fryer, you may wish to fry 10 of the wings at a time. Drain on paper towels or a rack.
When the sauce is done, brush the entire surface of each wing with a light coating of sauce. Serve immediately.
Makes 2-4 servings (20 wings).

1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon minced celery
1 teaspoon diced pimentos

Would like the copy cat recipe for the KFC cole slaw. I think it is the very best. Not only do they "Do Chicken Right" they "do cole slaw right" as well.
