Kentucky Fried Chicken 11 secret herbs & spices LEAKED - TikToker claiming to be Colonel Sanders great great grand nephew posted the recipe

I'm gonna call bullshit on this, it's more than likely just another guy who wants attention, and I don't know why I should believe some rando when people lie about this sort of stuff all the time.

That being said, somebody better get cooking.
 
There's no way that's the recipe. You'd be able to taste cardammom and cinnamon and all those other brown (in multiple ways) spices.

The eleven herbs and spices thing is also a massive cope. There are, AT MOST, four ingredients in KFC's recipe. In order of quantity: Salt, MSG, pepper, oregano. That's it. If you say you taste more, you fell for the psy op. Stand by for your MK Ultra activation phrase printed on the receipt.

Pizza Hut is supposedly very good there, too. And 7-Eleven.
I did a few gigs at Pizza Hut as an day worker. Store manager was calling all the employees (which is weird because I was a day worker.) Tried out an ume pizza at one point that Pizza Hut Japan was testing out. It was interesting to say the least.

As for 7-Eleven, yeah its really solid but its the more expensive convenience store out of the bunch compared to their competitors like FamilyMart, Lawson, or even Mini Stop (But no one goes to Mini Stop these days.)
 
Legit question, do you guys enjoy KFC?
KFC is huge among Pacific Islanders living in Australia and New Zealand. For some reason they love squeezing their extended family into a Toyota minivan and ordering $300 worth of chicken at their local KFC drive-thru every pay day.

That said, many people in Australia only go to KFC if they need a hangover cure. Most people here would rather have supermarket rotisserie chicken or go to their local mom-and-pop charcoal chicken shop.
McDonald's used to have the best fries in the world, until they moved to soybean oil. They are now shit.
McDonald's burgers tasted way better when they were in styrofoam containers.

belated update, I promised a review on sunday and it's monday now. I have never had actual KFC and KFC recently was forced to close in my country, so take this review with a grain of salt.

Made it buttermilk brine style but changed the spice mix to the alleged KFC secret one. I was afraid that the amount of cloves needed would be overpowering but I was happily surprised that they aren't that noticeable. I did add a teaspoon of sweet paprika to the mix and I put in a little more cayenne than was called for.
What I notice the most is probably the pepper and the cinnamon, the amount of black pepper that went into this seemed silly and I was kind of right. It's not very "curry"-esque and I would make this again, although with a dash more of paprika and halving the cinnamon.

Don't take it personally, but you're That Guy.
That Guy, whom when someone asks "Hey, can someone who's X voice their opinion on Y?" replies "Hello, I am not X. I have never been X. I have no interest in X. I have never been near X. I don't like X. I hate people who like X. But here is my opinion on Y."

I mean, you could just report me and cry to the mods. At least I tried the recipe and gave an opinion.
Have a good monday, friend. Stay safe.
 
It's weird turning a real flesh and blood person into some weird flesh puppet mascot. Harland sanders was a real man who lived a full life, he lived though the great depression, he lied about his age to be a teamsters during during the 2nd occupation of Cuba at 16, he went from railroad worker to a practicing lawyer and had a fight in the court room that ended his career. After more jobs he worked at a service station where he made fried chicken and competitor tried to kill him but killed one of his employees instead. He ran a motel where he invented his recipe for pressure cooked fried chicken before WWII gas rationing killed his business and then undetured he starting one of the biggest restaurants chains in the world.
Colonel sanders after he sold kfc had the balls to say it became shit, he constantly called the gravy slop and said the chicken was just a fried doughball stuck on chicken, he visited stores to try it and would throw it on the ground for being shit. Hell sanders even sued for missuse of his image while he was alive, guess they don't care now since dead men can't sue.
I don't know if this guy's genuine or just some larper but it's easy to be disgusting by how they use the visage of a real hard working man for this shit. At best stuff like norm Macdonald sander while at least not outright disrespectful is still pretty weird and dehumanizing, as much as I loved norm. Harland sanders wasn't a character he was a person with a soul, just because he dress funny doesn't mean you should parade his corpse to sell shit chicken he hated.
Where is the biopic for our great Colonel?
 
i thought the ingredients were common knowledge and it was just a marketing thing. you'd find this stuff in pretty much any box of batter mix at your local grocery store, who cares.

i had feathers and intestines in my kfc once and never went back again. I don't know how any non-brownoid would willingly eat their shit.
It would have to be. Every chickenmonger from Paducah to Pikeville would have stolen the spices and reverse engineered it by now.
 
Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamon? That might have been the secret recipe way back in the day but that sure a s hell isn't used today. There is also no mention of how much flour/starch is added to the fry mix so its kind of moot.
idk how anyone else fries their chicken, but for the flour/bread crumb coating, i use like 2 cups of flour and a cup or so of bread crumbs, and then the spices.
 
so it's Popeyes mild, when I indulge. Though I'm still hurt they discontinued Cajun rice. One of our local Popeyes made the news when someone started to wreck the place after finding out that the meal combos didn't include a free drink.
i had popeyes once probably almost a decade ago, it was alright, certinley better than the kfc that was closest to me, it was probably a 90s kfc with the side buffet authough from the looks now, they renovated it to look modern with the only remanent left of the old kfc being the bucket on the top of the metal sign post. as for the popeyes restaurant it was shut down multiple times due to a lot of health code violations, and i think it might have also been used as a drug front building too. personally i had better chicken from hoss's (a small time restaurant chain known for steaks and seafood) and i'm pretty sure they source their chicken from one of those 3rd party food manufacturers like us foods or sysco.
 
fast food doesn't really exist as a unique business model anymore because the supply chain advantages that fast food resturants had aren't unique to fast food resturants anymore unless you live in a rural town with no grocer or work for a hyper-streamlined company like starbucks. there legitimately is no difference between a mcdonalds and a chipotle. there used to be but there isn't anymore.

covid made fast food resturants realize they can make even more money by selling half as much product for twice as much through uber eats. you used to see mcdonalds with two drive through lines wrapped around the building all the time but now you only see that with chick-fil-a. this was by design.
Absolutely true. Since Covid it's become completely intolerable. Its even unaffordable for the poor, I see migrants and niggers barely able to get anything with their food stamps. And yes, my state is a state where you can spend EBT money on McDonalds. The government is enabling these people to kill themselves with heart problems and set their children up for the same fate, for negative return on their weekly financial investment into a megacorporation that wants to destroy them physically. Its always been predatory, but now its just state sanctioned. Literal goyslop.
 
He's mad they turned the Colonel into a WHORE.

That's one secret down. Now to the mystery behind the 23 secret, distinct flavors that create Dr. Pepper's unique taste. Any guesses? Either way, I hope we all agree that Dr. Pepper is the best soda/pop/fountain drink. If there's anyone that disagrees, please turn your face toward the wall. This'll all be over shortly.
I think in the Dr Pepper museum they say the guy screwed around with mixing flavors in the drugstore soda fountain so stuff like cherry, lemon, and sarsaparilla are near-certainties. Likely vanilla and chocolate as well.

There have usually been a few different varieties of a given spice, occasionally completely different plants being called by the same spice name, so even if you have a 100% authentic recipe, what you can buy in the store by this or that name may not reflect what was used in the recipe.

I don't expect anyone willing to test this recipe to go through the trouble of making multiple batches with, for example, Ceylon vs Cassia (which itself has three subvarieties) cinnamon, but I would expect them to taste pretty different depending which one you (or the Colonel) used.

Can't be an accurate recipe. Aside from the fact you'd definitely notice cloves, cinnamon and coriander, nutmeg, cinnamon and coriander are required by law to be stated as ingredients in all food products that contain them in canada due to the fact some people have serious allergic reactions to them. Same as having to label them as having things like nuts and peanut butter. Since they don't mention them here and i'm assuming kfc doesn't want to get its ass sued off when the wrong person bought a bucket and died from it i'd say its safe to assume those aren't actually included as ingredients
 
That said, many people in Australia only go to KFC if they need a hangover cure. Most people here would rather have supermarket rotisserie chicken or go to their local mom-and-pop charcoal chicken shop.
Specifically they get the Woolworths chicken because it's good, while the Coles chicken is actual poison. It's so bad that my pets, literal animals that will eat practically anything, turn their noses up at it while going ravenous when presented with Woolies chicken.
