Sanders first served his fried chicken during the Great Depression at a gas station he owned in Corbin, Kentucky, and later at a restaurant and motel he bought across the street. He generally served travelers, often those headed to Florida, so when plans for the new Interstate Highway System in the 1950s failed to include Corbin, he sold his properties and began to travel the United States to sell his chicken to restaurant owners. Sanders entered into agreements where he would receive five cents for each piece of chicken sold.^[1][2][3] The first to take him up on the offer was Pete Harman^[4] in South Salt Lake, Utah; together, they opened the world's first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" outlet in 1952. (The Corbin businesses did not bear that name.) Sanders sold the entire KFC franchising operation in 1964 for $2 million, and it has since been sold three more times, most recently to PepsiCo, which made it part of its Tricon Global Restaurants division, now known as Yum! Brands, Inc. In 1997, Tricon was spun off from PepsiCo.

Name

An older Kentucky Fried Chicken sign

The company adopted the abbreviated form of its name in 1991 for three reasons: to de-emphasize chicken (since the chain was moving to offer other foods), to avoid the unhealthy connotations of the word "fried", and because a shorter name was considered more appealing to the youth market.

When the name changed, an urban legend arose that the move was necessary because KFC was using a genetically modified animal that could not be considered a chicken.^[5] The site Snopes, generally considered a reference on urban legends, added to the confusion by releasing a spoof page saying that Kentucky had trademarked its own name, asking therefore royalties from any song or commerce that used it. Genetic engineering, genetic modification (GM), and gene splicing (once in widespread use but now deprecated) are terms for the process of manipulating genes in an organism, usually outside of the organisms normal reproductive process. ...

The Kentucky Fried Chicken name reappeared on the chicken buckets in 2006

In French-speaking Quebec, Canada, KFC is known as PFK (Poulet Frit Kentucky); this is one of the few instances in which the KFC initialism is changed for the local language. In the 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead, which was filmed in Canada but is set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, there is a goof where the survivors eat from the KFC restaurant in the mall and one of the soda cups actually reads PFK.

The Colonel's "secret recipe" of eleven herbs and spices is marketed as one of the best-kept trade secrets in business. The original handwritten recipe is suggested to be locked securely in a vault in Louisville, with partial copies stored elsewhere as backup. The company claims that suppliers of the seasonings each provide only parts of the recipe, and do not know each other's identity. (This is undoubtedly true, since the company that makes the tomato soup mix and the company that makes the Italian salad dressing mix are unrelated to each other.) KFC also claims that not even the company's president knows the ingredient list, and the few people who do are subject to a strict confidentiality agreement. The "secret ingredient" myth is one of the cornerstones of the brand. Several people have contacted KFC, claiming to have found copies of the recipe, but KFC claims that none have been correct. A couple who purchased the Colonel's original home found another handwritten recipe in the basement, and, although it was written by Sanders, it was determined to be nothing like the original.

Some people think that what gives KFC chicken its distinctive taste is that, after being coated, it is cooked in hot oil in a pressure cooker instead of a conventional deep fryer ^{[citation needed]}. However, on his Food Network show Good Eats, Alton Brown stated the pressure cooker and oil only make the cooking time shorter. Alton states that The Colonel believed that properly fried chicken should take at least 45 minutes. However, this was too long for most restaurant operations. The pressure cooker shortens the cooking time but probably does not add any special flavor to the chicken. On the other hand, it does not adversely affect the flavor, either.

Beyond the fried chicken, KFC also serves side dishes like coleslaw, various potato-based items (including potato wedges, whipped (mashed), and potatoes with gravy), biscuits, corn on the cob and, outside of the U.S., french fries and poutine.

Advertising

Early TV commercials for KFC regularly featured Colonel Sanders talking to the viewer about his secret recipe and the importance of a family joining one another for a meal. Despite his death in 1980, this angle was quite common through the 1980s and up until the early-mid 1990s. From the earliest days of the medium, television has been used as a vehicle for advertising in some countries. ...

Throughout the mid 1980s, KFC called on Vinton Studios to produce a series of humorous, claymation ads. These most often featured a cartoon-like chicken illustrating the poor food quality of competing food chains, mentioning prolonged freezing and other negative aspects.[1] Will Vinton (born 1948) is a director and producer of animated films. ... The term Claymation is a registered trademark created by Will Vinton Studios to describe their clay animated movies; the more generic term is clay animation, but the portmanteau claymation has entered the English language as a genericized trademark. ...

By the late 1990s, the stylized likeness of Colonel Sanders as the KFC logo had been modified. KFC ads began featuring an animated version of "the Colonel" with a lively and enthusiastic attitude. He would often start out saying "The Colonel here!" and moved across the screen with a cane in hand. The Colonel was often shown dancing, singing, and knocking on the TV screen as he spoke to the viewer about the product at hand. Animation refers to the process in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result. ...

The animated Colonel is uncommon today. Still using a humorous slant, the current KFC campaign revolves mostly around customers enjoying the food. It also features a modified version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" as the theme song for practically all its commercials, though the restaurant hails from Kentucky. Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced /leh-nerd skin-nerd/) is a U.S. Southern rock band, described by All Music Guides Stephen Thomas Erlewine as the definitive Southern rock band, fusing the overdriven power of blues-rock with a rebellious, Southern image and a hard rock swagger. ...

Trivia

• One of the most famous KFC restaurants in America is located in Marietta, Georgia. This store is notable for a 56-foot tall sign that looks like a chicken. The sign, known locally as the Big Chicken, was built for an earlier fast-food restaurant on the site called Johnny Reb's Chick, Chuck and Shake. It is often used as a travel reference point in the Atlanta area by locals and pilots.
• Wendy's restaurants founder Dave Thomas operated several Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises before starting Wendy's restaurants. He also invented the rotating-bucket-of-chicken sign that at one time was outside every KFC and decided that the chicken should be sold in paper buckets, in order to whisk away excess moisture. Incidentally, he was a Kentucky Colonel just like Colonel Sanders, figurehead of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
• KFC is one of the most popular fast food restaurants in China. Local menu items include egg tarts, and lotus root salad. KFC in China also serves other poultry in addition to chicken.
• KFC originally introduced its "Popcorn Chicken" snack in the early 1990s but discontinued it after several customers complained of sickness upon eating the food, which consisted primarily of chicken skin. In the early 2000s, it reintroduced the snack, now complete with more meat attached.^{[citation needed]}
• Separately-owned stores in Springfield, Massachusetts, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Baltimore, Maryland, Chester, Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Roxbury, Massachusetts, Boston, Massachusetts, Providence, Rhode Island, Kingston, New York and Brooklyn, New York are named "Kennedy Fried Chicken," an obvious reference to its mainstream competitor.
• Similar copycat stores exist in Portsmouth, England under the name "Ken's Tuck-in Fried Chicken". The logo design on one of them is an almost exact copy of an older KFC sign.
• In Taiwan and Malaysia, there exists a KLG, which stands for 卡啦鸡 in Chinese. KLG are the initials of the Chinese words. The store also uses KFC elements in an altered form. For example, the lettering is of the same font and color as KFC. One visible difference is that their logo is that of a rather plump chicken wearing a bow tie, instead of Colonel Sanders.
• In addition to Pamela Anderson, celebrities who have come out in protest of KFC's treatment of chickens include Richard Pryor, Elizabeth Berkley, Paul Wall, Ringo Starr, Tyra Banks, Dick Gregory, Bea Arthur and Jason Alexander.
• KFC is so prevalent in Japan that many Japanese unknowingly consider it to be a Japanese Company. On Christmas day many families (who have made reservations weeks in advance), have their traditional Christmas dinner at KFC. Colonel Sanders has become somewhat of a cult figure in Japan. Not only is there a life-sized statue of the Colonel in front of every KFC, but his memorabilia like wind-up toys and figurines can be found at many toy stores throughout Japan. ^{[citation needed]}
• Japanese baseball team Hanshin Tigers is thought to be under the Curse of the Colonel, a curse coming from when an enthusiastic fan threw a store-front statue of Colonel Sanders into a local canal during a celebration for the Tigers victory in the 1985 Japan Series. The curse says that the Tigers will not win again until the statue is recovered.
• KFC sponsors a cricket one-day tournament in the West Indies known as the 'KFC Cup.
• KFC stores in Queensland, Australia are the only stores in the world that are not available for franchise. They are in fact owned by Collins Foods Group Pty. Ltd., who has exclusive rights to set up KFC stores in that state.
