The History of Kentucky Fried Chicken
HISTORY
Harland Sanders, founder of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken, born in 1890, just outside Henryville, Indiana. After a series of jobs, in the mid 1930s at the age of forty, Colonel Sanders bought a service station, motel and cafe at Corbin, a town in Kentucky. He began serving meals to travelers on the dining table in the living quarters of his service station because he did not have a restaurant. It is here that Sanders began experimenting with different seasonings to flavor his chicken which travelers loved and for which he soon became famous. He then moved across the street to a motel and restaurant, which seated 142 people. During the next nine years he developed his secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices and the basic cooking technique which is still used today. Sander’s fame grew. In 1939, his establishment was first listed in Duncan Hines’ “Adventures in Good Eating”.
