How KFC Was Made from a Gas Station Chicken Recipe

Making the perfect fried chicken as we know it - juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside - used to be a luxury. But a man named Harland Sanders changed that after mastering his own recipe - inside a gas station.

1973 in Lexington Kentucky, I lived next door to an elderly lady named Eula Gibson. In the early days, Colonel Sanders employed her to create recipes for his restaurant in Corbin Kentucky. In 1973, only 3 people knew the recipe for KFC chicken… Sanders, Eula Gibson and one other (unknown). It is highly likely that Mrs. Gibson created the recipe and not Colonel Sanders. As a kid, she would make KFC chicken at home for me and her 7 year old grandson Ford Gibson. 🍗🍗🍗

Unlike any other competitor, whose chicken can be easily replicated at home, KFC has stood the test of time. To make it at home, you have to get the seasoning right(which is still a secret). That's not just a mystery (though some have gotten mighty close), but also is a question of the adhesion. It has to blend into the flour perfectly also. Then, you have to cook it right. The cooking time has to be precise. Most of all, you have to have a pressure cooker. Good luck on that; they're expensive, hard to set up, hard to clean, and hazardous if you're not careful.

I will never forget - it was around the time of the great 3 day black out of 1977 in New York City. I was 10. My father said “come on, let’s go get some KFC.“ We walked through the door, and there was the colonel greeting everyone. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the first time I probably saw anyone from TV live. And this was… In the Bronx! I actually shook his hand. 😀

An American original. While stationed at Ft Knox in 1971 more than one of my barracks mates recounted meeting him on the streets of Louisville. Impeccably dressed in white linen with walking cane and holding a mastery of cuss words. Even GI's cussed out by the Colonel thought it the highlight of their time.

According to the people that took KFC over, they altered the original formula back in 2017. It hasn't tasted the same since then.

[@mrdanforth3744]

@Ataur Rahman No it's not. Today's KFC is terrible. When the Colonel was alive the pieces of chicken were bigger and meatier, less greasy, less salty, and tasted 10 times better. I know, I worked in one of the first Canadian KFC franchises in 1964.

[@scanbear9863]

Yup most people around now never tasted real KFC. It tasted nothing like now. There was literally no better F chicken anywhere. It was so juicy and tasty, it went bad around early 90's. The mash was actual potato, fresh corn, and the biscuits were fluffy. People don't realize that the horrible fast food of today got popular because it used to taste better than gourmet.

[@evanwebb5020]
