Kentucky Fried Chicken’s Secret Recipe?
Is this the Colonel’s Big Secret? It was supposedly found on the back of his will.
The actual “Secret Recipe” is kept locked in a safe in Louisville, Kentucky.
According to the KFC website:
“Only a handful of people know the multi-million dollar formula and it’s protected by some pretty elaborate security precautions. In fact, one spice company blends part of the formula while another blends the rest, to ensure neither ever has the complete recipe!”
11 Herbs and Spices – Mix with 2 cups White Flour
- 2/3 Ts Salt
- 1/2 Ts Thyme
- 1/2 Ts Basil
- 1/3 Ts Oregano
- 1 Ts Celery Salt
- 1 Ts Black Pepper
- 1 Ts Dried Mustard
- 4 Ts Paprika
- 2 Ts Garlic Salt
- 1 Ts Ground Ginger
- 3 Ts White Pepper
“It’s Finger Lickin’ Good!”
In 1936, Kentucky Gov. Ruby Laffoon made Harland Sanders an honorary “Kentucky Colonel” in recognition of his contributions to the State’s cuisine.
In 1965, at age 75, Colonel Harland Sanders sold his company for $2 million!
In 1976, an independent survey ranked Colonel Sanders as the world’s second most recognizable celebrity!
In 2013, when Colonel Sanders’ White Suit and Black Western String Tie went up for auction in Dallas, Masao Watanabe, president and chief executive of KFC Japan, paid US $21,500 for it! Previously in 2002, a similar white suit and tie sold for $80,000 at an annual Association of KFC Franchisees Convention!
