KFC recipe revealed? Tribune shown family scrapbook with 11 herbs and spices


Attempts to unearth the Colonel's Original Recipe, or replicate it, have been made too many times to count. For KFC Corp., keeping the elusive mix of 11 herbs and spices under wraps has been paramount — not to mention a great marketing tool.

Other protective measures include using two different suppliers to prepare the 11 herbs and spices so that no single entity can crack the code..
