Nobody knows the exact spice mix used in the classic KFC™ chicken recipe, but we think this version is pretty close. It uses herbs and spices you probably have on hand if you have a fairly stocked pantry. The spice mix will look like a lot of seasoning for one batch of fried chicken, but keep in mind that those spices will be mixed with flour, so the spices will lose some of their kick. It might seem strange to add brown sugar to the flour mixture since this is a savory recipe, but just that tiny bit of sweetness really balances out the spices with the chicken. Many fried chicken recipes will ask you to double-bread the chicken, and while we are fans of that method, the classic KFC™ version has a thinner crust, so you only need to bread once. Egg whites are just right for dipping the chicken in before coating. They give the flour mixture something to stick to without being too thick.
