  • Sauces hold a place of honor on restaurant menus, and they've earned a firm spot in home cooks' recipe collections too. This recipe walks you through making KFC-style sauce. Its flavor is fairly simple, but that's exactly its strength. A smooth texture, a creamy aroma, a pleasant pale color—it's really not hard to pull off. 1. Pour the water into a pot and bring it to a boil. 2. Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the boiling water. 3. Peel the shallots and cut them into cubes. Peel the garlic and slice it thinly. 4. In a little butter (two or three tablespoons), sauté the shallots and garlic, adding the dried sage. 5. Cook until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 6. Then add the rest of the butter and let it melt. 7. Stir in the pre-sifted flour until smooth. 8. Pour the dissolved bouillon into the smooth butter-flour mixture. Whisk until smooth. 9. Cook the sauce over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until it thickens, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch. 10. Blend the finished sauce with an immersion blender to break down the shallots and garlic. If there are still any lumps, strain the sauce through a sieve to remove them. Serve the sauce with bites, strips, and other chicken dishes everyone loves so much at KFC. Enjoy!
