KFC Recipe On Lockdown

Their chicken is good, but it's not that good.

It's like Fort Dix up in that mug.

-----------------------------------------------------

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Colonel Sanders' handwritten recipe for fried chicken was back in its Kentucky home Tuesday after five months in hiding while KFC upgraded security around its top corporate secret.

Nothing went afoul when the recipe was returned from an undisclosed location to KFC's headquarters late Monday in a lockbox handcuffed to the wrist of a security consultant.

KFC President Roger Eaton was visibly relieved when the door to a new electronic safe was shut with the single sheet of yellowing paper stashed inside. "Mission accomplished," he said.

"It was very nerve wracking," Eaton said later of the recipe's hiatus from a vault where it has been kept for decades. "I don't want to be the only president who's lost the recipe."

KFC is a subsidiary of Louisville-based Yum Brands Inc., which also owns Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John Silver's and A&W All-American Food.

The recipe lays out a mix of 11 herbs and spices that coat the chain's Original Recipe chicken, including exact amounts for each ingredient. It is written in pencil and signed by Harland Sanders.

The iconic recipe is now protected by an array of high-tech security gadgets, including motion detectors and cameras that allow guards to monitor the vault around the clock.

"It's like an onion of security — many layers," said security expert Bo Dietl, who brought the recipe back to the building.

Thick concrete blocks encapsulate the vault, situated near office cubicles, that is connected to a backup generator to keep the security system operating in times of power outages.

"I can guarantee you, once it's in there, it will be safe," Dietl assured Eaton.

The recipe is such a tightly held secret that not even Eaton knows its full contents. Only two company executives at any time have access to the recipe. KFC won't release their names or titles, and it uses multiple suppliers who produce and blend the ingredients but know only a part of the entire contents.

"We've very comfortable with the security," Eaton said. "I don't think anyone can break into it."

If this secret ever leaked to public, I'm sure everybody would run out and buy 11 different herbs and spices and start deep frying their own chickens, putting KFC out of business.

I know someone from Kentucky and they said the Colonel Sanders is like a hero and the first KFC is a huge landmark and tourist attraction. Schools actually go on field trips to it. I don't think he was actually a "colonel", but I could be wrong.

I have visited the "original" Col Sanders and it is a museum of sorts
with an old kitchen on display. Other than that, its a plain old KFC.
They do have an 8 ft. plastic statue of the Col himself. The Col
is a hero among some Kentuckians, not because of his recipe, but
his entrepreneurship.

This was a big story about 6 months ago....I guess when they moved it the first time.

It's clearly a lame attempt at generating some free publicity around KFC. No one is trying to steal this piece of paper.

Here is how to make it at home.
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tbsp celery salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp dry mustard
4 tbsp paprika
2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp ground ginger
3 tbsp MSG (Accent)

Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl.

Dip chicken pieces in beaten eggs
Then turn them over in regular bread crumbs (commercial)
Finally plunge them in the flour-spices mixture (above)

Heat oven to 350 degrees
Place chicken in a tray and cover with foil (shiny side out)
Cook 40 minutes.
Remove the foil then cook for another 40 minutes
Baste lightly with oil 5 minutes before the end
Let stand 5 minutes and serve.


If anyone belives in this day and age that

A) the recipe is pretty much the same as it was 40 years ago
B) It is a secret
C) only a few actually know what it is

They have no grasp of reality.

I actually prefer Popeye's chicken strips. Cajun is the way to go. Especially with that spicy BBQ sauce. Hmm. Hmm. Love that chicken from Popeye's.

Are you referring to the "fully hydrogenated trans fats" that made America the greatest nation in the universe?

I take it that this is the definition of "greatest" you are using...

great
   /greɪt/
adjective, -er, -est, adverb, noun, plural greats, (especially collectively) great, interjection
–adjective
1. unusually or comparatively large in size or dimensions: A great fire destroyed nearly half the city.

Has anyone ever tried Pollo Compero? It's some Guatamalan fast-food joint in Herndon. The sides are ok, but that chicken is so freakin' good.

I've been to the Pollo Campero in Baileys Crossroads. The chicken is good, but the dining area was sort of trashed.
