Cloned Resaturant Recipes K

K.C. Masterpiece® Original Barbecue Sauce

Even though it's now owned and produced by the Clorox Company,
 the taste of Original K. C. Masterpiece barbecue sauce is the
 same as when it was first created in good ole' Kansas City,
 USA. This is the sauce that steals awards from all the other
 popular slathers on the market. It's now even is sold in a
variety of flavors. But this is the clone for the original,
and you'll find it very easy to make. Just throw all of the
ingredients in a saucepan, crank it up to a boil, then simmer
for about an hour. Done deal. And just like the original
 Masterpiece, this stuff will make a work of art out of any
 of your grilled meats, or burgers and sandwiches; and as a
 dipping sauce or marinade.

2 cups water
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over high heat
 and whisk until smooth.
2. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45
 to 60 minutes or until mixture is thick.
3. Cool, then store in a covered container in the refrigerator
 overnight so that flavors can develop.
Makes 1 1/2 cups.


Tidbits
Liquid smoke is a flavoring found near the barbecue sauces and
 marinades.  Use hickory-flavored liquid smoke if you have a choice.

Kellogg's® Cocoa Rice Krispies Treats®

It's the Rice Krispies Treat for all you chocolate lovers.
 By simply replacing regular Rice Krispies with Kellogg's
 Cocoa Krispies, then adding a bit of cocoa to the recipe,
we can clone the exact flavor of the product you otherwise
 have to buy in boxes in the grocery store. This recipe makes
 16 of the crunchy brown bars, or the equivalent of two boxes
 of the real thing.

3 tablespoons margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 teaspoons cocoa
6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
non-stick cooking spray

1. Combine margarine and salt in a large saucepan over low heat.

2. When margarine has melted, add marshmallows and vanilla and stir
 until marshmallows have melted. Add cocoa and stir well. Remove
from heat.
3. Add Cocoa Krispies and stir until the cereal is well coated with
 the melted marshmallow mixture.
4. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with a light coating of non-stick
 cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the dish and, using wax paper
 or lightly greased hands, press down until it's flat in the dish.
 Cool. Slice into 16 bars.
Makes 16 bars.

Kellogg's® Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats®

When Kellogg's reacted to spectacular sales of its Rice Krispies
 Treats with two new varieties of the popular and addictive snack,
 TSR got on the case. It seems we've all tasted the original Rice
 Krispies Treats. The homemade version is the next homework
assignment in Cooking 101, after learning how to boil water.
 And the Kellogg's store-bought packaged version has been available
 to the lazier of us for several years now. This variety, however,
 puts that whole Reese's "You got your peanut butter in my chocolate"
 thing to work. The crunchy bar has just a touch of nutty essence
 that builds nicely on the other familiar flavors. But don't be
 fooled by that dark "chocolatey" coating on top. It's not actually
 chocolate, but rather a melt-resistant custom blend of cocoa and
 uh, stuff, that tastes a lot like chocolate; and that happens to
work better for the product from a manufacturing, shipping, and
shelf-life aspect. But here in kitchen cloning land, we don't have
 to worry about those things. So get ready to walk on the wild side,
 people, as we step up to the microwave and melt some real chocolate
 chips for topping our cinch of a crunchy clone.

1 tablespoon margarine
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips
non-stick cooking spray

1. Combine margarine, peanut butter, and salt in a large saucepan
 over low heat.
2. When peanut butter and margarine have melted, add marshmallows
 and vanilla and stir until marshmallows have melted. Remove from
heat.
3. Add Rice Krispies and stir until cereal is well coated with the
 melted marshmallow mixture.
4. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with a light coating of non-stick
 cooking spray. Pour the Rice Krispies mixture into the dish and,
 using wax paper or lightly greased hands, press down until it's
 flat in the dish. Cool.
5. Prepare the topping by pouring the chocolate chips into a glass
 dish. Microwave for 2 minutes on 50 percent power. Stir gently.
 Microwave for an additional minute on 50 percent power. Stir gently
 once more until smooth. If the mixture hasn't completely melted,
 zap it again for another 30 seconds.
6. Use a spatula to spread a thin layer of chocolate over the top
 of the Rice Krispies mixture. Cool at room temperature
(at least 72 degrees), or chill until firm. Slice into 16 bars.

Makes 16 bars.

Kenny Rogers Roasters® Corn Muffins

He knows when to hold em, and he knows when to fold em. And
lately he's been folding em quite a bit as Kenny Rogers Roasters
 restaurants across the country have bolted their doors for lack
 of interest.  Looks like that whole "home meal replacement"
think hasn't worked out too well for this fire-roasted chicken
 chain.  But that doesn't mean that Kenny didn't know how to make
 awesome corn muffins that are served with every meal.  And since
 it's becoming harder and harder to find a Kenny Rogers Roasters
 outlet, we have no choice but to duplicate these at home if we
want to re-create this part of the Kenny experience.

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs

KFC® Cole Slaw

If you've ever seen a clone recipe for KFC Cole Slaw floating
 around on the Internet, it probably looks like this. That's
because this formula has become one of the most copied & pasted
 recipes from the first book, "Top Secret Recipes." It's also
one of the most requested recipes on the TSR Message Board. So,
 to fulfill all those requests, and to stake claim to a recipe
that's rarely sourced as a TSR original, here's the killer recipe
 to clone the world's best slaw. And, because I love to out-clone
 the "copycats", I'm going to take it one step further. Tune in
next week for an original version of this clone recipe that tastes
 just like the real thing but includes only five ingredients...and
 is completely fat free! Don't believe it? Be here next Monday.

KFC® Honey BBQ Wings®

Once a regular menu item, these sweet, saucy wings are now
 added to the KFC menu on a "limited-time-only" basis in many
 markets. So how are we to get that sticky sauce all over our
 faces and hands during those many months when we're cruelly
denied our Honey BBQ Wings? Now it's as easy as whipping up a
 clone that re-creates a crispy breading on the chicken wings,
 and then slathering those puppies in a tasty knock-off of the
 sweet, tangy honey BBQ sauce. "Limited-time-only" signs -
we laugh in your direction!

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

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

1. 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 to 20 minutes.
2. As sauce is simmering, heat up 6 to 8 cups of shortening in
 a deep fryer set to 350 degrees.
3. Combine the beaten egg with the milk in a small bowl.
4. In another small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and MSG.

5. When shorteningl 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 coated with batter.
6. Fry the wings in the shortening for 9 to 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.
7. When the sauce is done, brush the entire surface of each wing with
 a light coating of sauce. Serve immediately.
Makes 2 to 4 servings (20 wings).

Tidbits
Liquid smoke is a flavoring found near the barbecue sauces and
marinades.  Use hickory-flavored liquid smoke if you have a choice.
MSG is monosodium glutamate, the solid form of a natural amino acid
 found in many vegetables. It can be found in stores in the spice
 sections and as the brand name Accent flavor enhancer. MSG is an
 important component of many KFC items.

KFC® Macaroni & Cheese

Here's a clone for another of KFC's famous side dishes.
 We'll use easy-to-melt Velveeta, with its very smooth
texture, as the main ingredient for the cheese sauce.
 Then a bit of cheddar cheese is added to give the sauce
 a sharp cheddary zing like the original. It's a very simple
 recipe that will take only 15 minutes to prepare. That's
great news if you're a lazy cook like me who wants to dig right
 into the tasty vittles.  Weeell doggies!

6 cups water
1 1/3 cups elbow macaroni
4 ounces Velveeta cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Bring water to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan.
 Add elbow macaroni to the water and cook it for 10 to 12 minutes
 or until tender, stirring occasionally.
2. While the macaroni is boiling, prepare the cheese sauce by
 combining the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over
low heat. Stir often as the cheese melts into a smooth consistency.

3. When the macaroni is done, strain it and then pour it back into
 the same pan, without the water.
4. Add the cheese sauce to the pan and stir gently until the
macaroni is well coated with the cheese. Serve immediately while hot.
Makes about 3 servings.

KFC® Potato Salad

Here's a simple clone for the potato salad that is purchased
 as a side dish from America's largest fast food chicken chain.
 Some of the skin is left on the potatoes in the real thing, so
 you don't have to peel them too thoroughly.  Just be sure to
chop your potatoes into cubes that are approximately 1/2-inch thick,
 and then let the salad marinate for at least 4 hours so that the
 flavors can properly develop. If you let the salad chill overnight,
 it tastes even better.

2 pounds russet potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons minced white onion
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon minced celery
1 teaspoon diced pimentos
1/2 teaspoon shredded carrot
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon pepper
dash salt

1. Lightly peel the potatoes (you don't have to get all of the
 skin off) then chop them into bite-size pieces and boil in 6 cups
 of boiling, salted water for 7 to10 minutes. The potato chuncks
 should be tender, yet slightly tough in the middle when done.
Drain and rinse potatoes with cold water.
2. In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and whisk until
 smooth.
3. Poured drained potatoes into a large bowl. Pour the dressing
 over the potatoes and mix until well combined.
4. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best.
Makes 6 cups (about 8 servings).

Kraft® Deluxe Original Macaroni & Cheese Dinner

It's time to clone America's best-selling brand of instant
macaroni & cheese.  This recipe is for the "Deluxe" variety
 of this popular product - that is, the one that comes with
an envelope of thick cheese sauce, rather than the dry,
powdered cheese.  I think the "Deluxe" version, with it's
 two-cheese blend, is the better tasting of the two, although
 it's gonna hit you a bit harder in the wallet at the supermarket.
  But now, with this Top Secret Recipe, you can make creamy
macaroni & cheese that taste like Kraft's original at a fraction
 of the price of the real deal. You gotta love that!

8 cups water
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Cheez Whiz
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Bring 8 cups (2 quarts) of water to a boil over high heat in
 a large saucepan. Add elbow macaroni to water and cook for
 10 to 12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
2. As macaroni boils, prepare sauce by combining cheddar cheese,
 Cheez Whiz, and milk in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
 Stir cheese mixture often as it heats, so that it does not burn.
 Add salt. When all of the cheddar cheese has melted and the sauce
 is smooth, cover pan and set aside until macaroni is ready.
3. When macaroni is ready, strain water, but do not rinse the
 macaroni.
4. Using the same pan you prepared the macaroni in, combine the
 macaroni with the cheese sauce, and mix well.
Makes about 4 cups.

Kraft® Shake'n Bake® (Original)

Need a recipe that copies Shake'n Bake in a pinch?
 Or maybe you don't feel like going to the store for
 the real thing.  Here's the TSR solution for a quick
 clone that will give you the same texture and flavor of
 Kraft Shake'n Bake using very common ingredients. You may
 notice the color is a bit different in this clone when
compared to the real thing. That's because this recipe doesn't
 include beet powder - a hard to find ingredient that lends a
dark orange tint to the original. But after you sink your teeth
 into the chicken (baked the same way as described on the
 Shake'n Bake box) and you'll swear it's the same stuff.  When
 you're ready to get shaking and baking, use this breading on
 2 1/2 pounds of chicken pieces or on 2 pounds of boneless,
skinless chicken breasts.

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon corn flake crumbs
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon sugar
scant 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
scant 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
2. Prepare chicken following the same technique as described on
 the box of the original mix using 2 1/2 lbs. of bone-in chicken
 (6 to 8 pieces, with or without skin) or 2 lbs. boneless skinless
 chicken breast halves. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, then moisten
 the chicken with water. Use a large plastic bag for the coating
 and use the same steps as described on the original package:

"Shake moistened chicken, 1 to 2 pieces at a time, in shaker bag
 with coating mixture. Discard any remaining mixture and bag. Bake
 at 400 degrees in ungreased or foil-lined 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking
 pan until cooked through -
BONE-IN: 45 minutes/BONELESS: 20 minutes."

Serves 4.

Kraft® Thousand Island Dressing

Here's a quick clone for one of the best-selling thousand
 island dressings around. Use this one on salads or on burgers
 (such as the In-N-Out Double-Double clone) as a homemade
 "special sauce." It's easy, it's tasty, it's cheap and it
 can be made low fat simply by using low-fat mayo. Dig it.

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon finely minced white onion
1/8 teaspoon salt
dash of black pepper

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well.
2. Place dressing in a covered container and refrigerate for
several hours, stirring occasionally, so that the sugar dissolves
 and the flavors blend.
Makes about 3/4 cup.
