Question

What are the 11 herbs and spices in kfc chicken?

Answer 1

Even if I knew, I would not be able to tell you!

That's because  in the business world,  it is something  known as a "Trade Secret".

The few people who DO know this recipe are few and far between,  and have to sign disclosure agreements never to reveal the true recipe,  or face enormous civil and or criminal courts.  Something like a copyright, or making an unauthorized copy of  "The Pirates of the Caribbean" DVD....

Even the people who make the packets containing the ingredients don't know, because it is usually done in secret with several different suppliers. One might mix four or five, or six, another four, five or six and so on.... Even the people who work at KFC don't know.. All they know is there is an herbs pack you mix with X' # of  pounds of flour, or some other mixture to bread the product with. That's the typical procedures a Trade Secret holder has to go through to keep the recipe truly a Trade secret ... They have to do their best to keep it as secret as they can...

BUT!

You can go to places like TopSecretRecipe.com. and RecipeInsider.blog, etc. and find a close, if not exact match for what you are looking for..... Just GOOGLE KFC RECIPE, or TOP SECRET RECIPE to get you in the right direction.

Trust me.. NO ONE is EVER going to come forward and say something like, " I used to work for KFC... And the secret 11 herbs and spices are......"

If they did, they would be not only broke, BUT in jail!!!!

AND!!!!!! IF!!! Anyone did finally come up with the exact recipe, and decided to publish it on the Internet, you can rest your bottom dollar that a corporation with the legal resources like Pepsi, or YUM Brands would have a cease and desist order faster than you would ever read about it!

Pepsi is another Trade Secret recipe....

Google TRADE SECRETS sometime to give yourself an idea. or Wikipedia TRADE SECRET.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_secre...

One final note, as I see some have left you with a list of ingredients... You have to know what proportions these are!!! A pinch, a teaspoon, a tablespoon, a cup????  Also know that the methods of actually cooking the chicken once it has been properly coated with the "secret recipe" have a great deal to do with the final result. The KFC's I have known cook their birds in a pressure cooker deep fryer made by Henny Penny......  

Hope this helps....
