KFC - The Man Behind The Taste

Hi Friends, welcome us on board, me Jenifer and my friend Santosh will be sharing and learning many interesting things through this small window so called BLOG.

Since this is our first blog we would like to share some thing very yummy - the story of a fast food which made the world go crazy.

KFC ( Kentucky Fried Chicken )

Kentucky Fried Chicken is a fast food company based out of Louisville, Kentucky, USA. They have been a brand and operating segment and termed a concept of Yum brands since 1977, till that company spun off from pepsico as Tricon Global Restaurants Inc.  Kentucky Fried Chicken sells Chicken Pieces, Wraps, Salads and Sandwiches although Fried Chicken is its primary focus. However, outside US, the sell beef and pork also.

Kentucky Fried Chicken was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1952, it abbreviated its name to KFC in 1991. Yum continues to use the abbreviated name freely in its advertising.

Sanders served Fried Chicken during 1930's great depression at a gas station and named it as Sander's Court and Cafe and was given the title of Honarary Kentucky Colonel in recognition of his contribution to state's cuisine.

The Original secret recipe of Colonel was devised in 1940 and consists of 11 Herbs and Spices that creates the famous " Finger Lickin Good Chicken"  and the recipe remains a trade secret even now. Infact only two of their executives had handled the documents in all these years.

KFC, initially used Fat oil and once there was a case registered by Centre for Science in the Public Interest and after which they started to use Trans Fat Free oil which reduced heart ailments.

This is the story all about KFC and tomorrow we shall meet you with a new and different facts.

Thanks
