LOUISVILLE, KY – KFC is still the only place you can find Colonel Harland Sanders world-famous Original Recipe chicken. The secret recipe for the Colonels 11 herbs and spices remain safely locked within the KFC vault in Louisville, Ky.
The owners of Colonel Harlan Sanders former home in Shelbyville, Kentucky claimed to have a list of ingredients which they thought were the Colonels secret Original Recipe. The owners discovered the list in a 1964 ledger that they found in the home. Colonel Harland Sanders created the secret Original Recipe in 1939. Last week, the couple contacted KFC Corporation and threatened to sell the list through public auction.
Although KFC believed it was improbable that the couple had the secret recipe, the company took the claim seriously and asked a court to prevent them from selling or disclosing the list of ingredients. KFC investigated the couples claim thoroughly and compared their list to the Colonels secret recipe — it is nowhere close. KFC has dismissed the lawsuit.
This was definitely not the Colonels Secret Original Recipe, said Rick Weber, KFC spokesperson. Everyone loves the Colonel’s Original Recipe, and there is only one place to find it KFC. Since 1952, the company has been recognized around the world for providing high quality, great tasting chicken to millions of customers.
