Violet Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks ! I am going to mix up some and see how it tastes. Probably not add MSG, but the rest. Link to comment
Homemaker Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 What is Accent? Is that MSG? Did the colonal really use an herb or spice called accent in his original, recipe? If not, what was the 11th ingredient? Violet, let us know how it tastes without the MSG. Link to comment
cowgirl8 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just threw away an old shaker of accent. Del Taco used accent in their food, I used to prep at a del taco back in the early 80's and it did make the food taste better. But, I cant eat it, it makes me feel funny. Fried chicken grosses me out, I only eat skinless boneless breast, it cant have a bone in it...and skin, never. I use to, but cant make myself gnaw on a bone Link to comment
Leah Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 My recipe is similar. I don't use chili powder or Accent, but add Rosemary, thyme, and nutmeg. Link to comment
Prickle Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yep, Accent is MSG. It's probably the most easily available to the public msg for that recipe. The Colonel may not use that brand in the restaurants. Accent has been around a long time though. Link to comment
cowgirl8 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Del Taco used Accent, they had a big ole vat of it...lol..... I can always tell when something has msg in it, even tiny amounts. Taco Bell does not use it, neither does Sonic or McDonalds. Most buffets do and they use a lot. What it does is slows my brain down, my reaction time goes way down. I will not drive if I've had any to eat. Its really not a problem anymore since I refuse to eat out, but, if caught out and needing to eat, I'll make sure I don't drive until I know for sure if it was in the food. Good to know about KFC, not that I was going to gnawing on bones any time soon... Link to comment
Violet Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 You can get MSG in the oriental markets in a bag cheap. I don't want to add it. It makes your blood pressure skyrocket. Link to comment
Amishway Homesteaders Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 My recipe is similar.

cowgirl8 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 If i were to ever get chicken out, i'd go for Popeye's hot and spicy, yum.... yes, i did at one time love the skin on fried chicken... Link to comment
Violet Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I see there is a Popeye's going in here. I will try it out once just to see. I rarely eat out any more. Link to comment
cowgirl8 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Stop at Catfish King and get ya a jar of green tomato relish, then, take it over to Popeye's, with every bite of hot and spicy chicken, eat with it a piece of green tomato. Life doesnt get any better...... Link to comment

Grace&Violets Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I found a great recipe for grilled "fried" chicken that will fool anyone. It's so good and really simple to make. I make this all of the time. http://www.ginnyv.com/2009/07/grilled-fried-chicken.html 6-7 chicken pieces, including legs and thighs 1/3 cups or more mayo fresh or dried garlic 1/2 cup of crushed organic butter crackers, I used Late July brand 1 tbsp crushed dried Italian seasoning Remove the skin from the chicken, if desired. Next, mix mayo and garlic, to taste. Crush the crackers and mix in the Italian seasoning. It’s best to have all of this done before you move to the next step. When ready, preheat grill to medium-low. Lower temps take a little longer, but will help you to not burn the cracker crust. While the grill is preheating, coat the chicken with the mayo mixture, then roll in the crackers until the chicken is coated well. Grill the chicken for about 15 minutes on each side. It’s helpful to have a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken reaches 180* before serving. That’s it. The coating on the chicken may get dark or even burn if the temp is too high. That’s ok, because it’s easy to remove the dark bits without ruining the rest of the piece of chicken. Link to comment
cowgirl8 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 You know, down here you dont say Pop eye, you say Pie pie. I never knew thats how i said it until some northerner laughed at me...I was like, what the heck, pie pie, who knew...lol Link to comment
Motherhen Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I decided to make this last night for supper with chicken legs. It turned out really delicious...I did not fry or deep fry but only baked it in my "turbo oven"--the kind on the infomercial with MrT. (I got it as a gift from my friend and yes, I love it--cooks fast and good) I also had to substitute marjormam--either I don't have it or couldn't find it-- and used Summer Savoury instead...and I didn't have garlic powder or Accent. (I used Mrs.Dash which has 'some' garlic in it but normally I'd use fresh garlic)...I will make this again for sure. Link to comment
