How I hate that we can’t get the original recipe anymore… now it’s just less crispy extra-crispy, because they’ve done without the pressure cookers is why I’ve heard… and I would get both, but I loved the original recipe!!! So soft, tender, and dreamy!!! ❤ PS I’m from Kentucky and love the name!!! I’m so proud of it!!! I remember when I was a kid, I’d be so shocked when I’d see a Kentucky Fried Chicken in other states! Lol!
We got two separate fryers: one for original and one for crispy. We also use different flour for each recipe so you either got chicken that was a bit over cooked or breaded wrong
@@wbr0103 that’s good! Around here, in Kentucky, the original is big soft and tender like it used to be, it’s like extra crispy with just less crunchy on it… it’s a shame too as I loved original recipe before!!! Thank you for the information!
Sounds like I need to visit Australia! Lol… In the US we no longer have the true original recipe! I mean we can order, but in recent years it’s turn into nothing the same as it used to be…
When they said he would inspect the restaurant that meant he would order food and if it wasn’t up to his standards he would lock the doors and give a master class right then and right there
Jus so ya know ..KFC get chicken from local suppliers ..always delivered fresh. It gets marinated n cooked within a few days the new chicken arrives 3 days later. Kinda the way Wendy's get their fresh beef . It's never frozen so has to come locally
If you watch old videos of the Colonel making his chicken he used a egg wash so the coating would stick to the chicken. Now to save money and time they soak the chicken in water. BIG companies have ruined the original recipe in the name of profits. Colonel Saunders would roll over in his grave if he knew what they have done. Near the end of his life he opened his own restaurant and was sued , as he did not like what the large companies di to his chicken , as the quality sunk in the name of profits , so sad.BT
I grew up in north Louisiana. In the 60s and 70s the nearest Kentucky fried chicken was in east Texas about 40 miles away. We would make the drive and the restaurant was a sit down affair with waitresses who took your orders.
Those where the days when you knew the food was divine so you didn't need to pray over it first. Now you gotta pray over it and hire a priest to bless it and put a little holy water on it. And then after you eat it you pray again cause if you don't you get so gassed up it hurts.😜😜🤣🤣😂😂
Been to KCF a couple of times in the last 6 months, I used to really enjoy the gravy, the last 4 times, it tastes like brown flour, absolutely no taste. Did they change the receipe or just watering it down???
They changed the original gravy recipe to save money not long after he sold the company along time ago just to make more money a franchise owner told me and my father that and he also said if Mr. Sanders knew that that he would turn over in his grave.!!! 😂😂🤣
Yes they did change the gravy recipe I was told by the owner of a franchise KFC restaurant that if Col. Sanders knew that he would turn over in his grave and that was back in the 80s I think it was.
Now KFC isn't like it was in the 1970,s the chicken isn't the same any more, can't even hardly taste the salt or the 11 herbs and spices, because it's just not used anymore. Even the Cole slaw used to be bright green crispy and had that zing to it. Now the Cole slaw is flat, mushy and white, with no zing to it. The fries are uuhh. The price is a rip off, and in Canada their all owned and operated by Indo Canadians, no offence I do have lots of good East Indian friends. Even the size of the chicken your served is so fricken small, I mean holy crap, do all the chickens now come in as midgets only? Their grown in a cage right from birth and the cage is so low that the chicken never even gets to stand up or walk around like free range chickens. They don't even use the 11 herbs and spices any more, only a little salt. Over priced under sized and crappy fries and mushy Cole slaw, that no longer has that good old zing taste. And when your making your order the one serving you keeps cutting you off asking you this and that, but if they'd shut up and just let me make my order they wouldn't need to cut me off and ask the same stupid questions in the first place. Today's KFC sucks!!!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮😇👎👎👎👿💩💩💩💩💩
it's true the recipe as changed you could see and smell the flavour in the skin and the bones somebody's changed it and it wasn't hard the skin was crispy but softer
Their chicken now does not taste anything like it used to. No only that the birds they fry up are scrawny and contain less meat. Add to that $30 for a bucket of chicken is a deal breaker. I'll fry my own.
Seems other fast foods are constantly changing their menu items, taking some items away, then reappearing, adding new items, secret menus etc. KFC not so much. Tried & true in their minds.
You didn't disclose that he shot and killed a competitor with a shotgun in the early days who would continuously repaint his billboard. Apparently he was a spicy character in the early years.
