The home cook shared mouth-watering snaps of her KFC style chicken on a Facebook group dedicated to foodies on a budget.
Along with the snaps, she explained exactly how she'd made it, and people can't wait to try it themselves.
In the Budget Friendly Meals Australia group, she simply wrote "Home made KFC style chicken," and listed the ingredients she'd used.
She revealed that she'd seasoned the chicken with garlic salt, onion salt, all purpose seasoning salt and pepper, along with two cartons of buttermilk.

Detailing how she created the ultimate KFC fakeaway, the clever cook said she'd soaked the chicken breast in the buttermilk for one hour to start.
She explained that she first cut the breasts into smaller pieces by slicing them lengthways, then halved each piece again.
After soaking the chicken, she added the spices to a heap of flour and mixed well.
She generously coated each piece of chicken in the spice mix before dropping them into the deep fryer to cook
If you don't have a deep fryer, that's okay, because you can also shallow fry the chicken in a fry pan, or pot if you'd prefer.
And you'll still end up with the most delicious, crispy and absolutely perfect pieces of chicken – you won't even miss the real thing.
The KFC fan served hers on a burger bun with lettuce and cheese for the ultimate fakeawy experience – but it's good enough to eat its own.
Impressed by the home cooked chicken, one person said: "Omg that really looks like kfc!"
While another, clearly excited by the prospect of tasting KFC again, said: "I’m SO doing this"
