Combine 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1 tablespoon ground sage, 1 teaspoon powdered ginger, 1 teaspoon marjoram, and 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme in a blender. Blend briefly to mix the herbs.

Add 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 3 tablespoons dry parsley flakes, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 tablespoons garlic salt, 2 tablespoons onion salt, 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon, and 1 cup tomato soup mix. Pulse in the blender for 3-4 minutes until completely pulverized. If you lack a blender, rub the mixture through a fine strainer until a powder-like consistency is achieved.

In a large bowl or paper bag, combine 1 ounce of the prepared spice blend with 1 cup flour. Mix until well combined.

Pat your chicken pieces dry. Thoroughly coat each piece in the seasoned flour. Then dip the coated chicken in buttermilk before returning it to the flour mixture for a second, even coating.

Heat oil to approximately 350°F. Gently lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry until they achieve a golden brown, crispy crust.

Serve the homemade KFC-style chicken with classic Southern sides such as creamy mashed potatoes with gravy, tangy coleslaw, warm buttermilk biscuits, or other favorites like corn on the cob and mac & cheese.
