wayne asked: My friend’s cousin says so, my mom too.I think they’re kidding.
then how does the cook in the fast food chain prepare the finger lickin good chickens? does the manager order the flour with the spices and stuff from the main branch so the cook in KFC would just add eggs on the chicken then roll it up on the flour with bread crumbs?

They don’t. Only the chef’s do. After all, if everyone knew where would the business be?

It is true. I was a manager there for 5 years. Only corporate knows the secret and then during the mixing of the ingredients, only a select few have the combination.

it’s all prepared for the cooks since they need consistency everywhere

KFC cooks aren’t chefs, and they don’t have the privilege of knowing the secret recipe. Corporate has it locked up tight. Learned this on Food Network.

The recipe is such a secret that two different places are responsible for mixing the spices. The restaurant gets the spices/flour already mixed and are not told what’s in it. It’s one of the best-kept secrets in the restaurant industry.

Even chain fast food joints such as McDonalds, Pizza Hut etc… don’t know what is in everything as it is all pre-made when it gets to each individual store.
But the KFC recipe is one of the best kept secrets out there. Only 2 people know the KFC recipe and they each only know 1/2.

Today, the recipe is protected by some pretty elaborate security precautions. One company blends a formulation that represents part of the recipe while another spice company blends the remainder. As a final safeguard, a computer processing system is used to standardize the blending of the products to ensure neither company has the complete recipe.
“It boggles the mind just to think of all the procedures and precautions the company takes to protect my recipe,” the Colonel said, “especially when I think how Claudia and I used to operate. She was my packing girl, my warehouse supervisor, my delivery person-you name it. Our garage was the warehouse.”
“After I hit the road selling franchises for my chicken, that left Claudia behind to fill the orders for the seasoned flour mix. She’d fill the day’s orders in little paper sacks with cellophane linings and package them for shipment. Then she had to put them on a midnight train.”
Little did the Colonel and Claudia dream in those days that his Secret Recipe of 11 Herbs & Spices would be famous around the world.
