I just ambushed you with a fucking coffee mug.

...baking powder, cocaine...and I think I detected a hint of cinnamon!

Oops, wrong recipe.

Anyone can reverse engineer the formula. FDA/USDA regulate what you can put in human food (GRAS), and the quality of what you put in it. If its not listed, you can't use it. Now just test for each ingredient until you have the formula. Be sure to do double blind tests.

KFC doesn't really need to care about the formula, since if anyone advertises their chicken tastes like KFC, lawsuit time.

The most secret that can exist would be in the cooking/assembly process of the chicken in the factory, such as layering ingredients or marinating, etc. Timings would be most secert. Employees will rat to you what the machines are, but the detailed operating specs and configurations of them are a secret.

everyone knows the colonel puts an' addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass.

ah, i hated the colonel, with his wee beady eye, and that smug look on his face.."oh, you're gonna by mah chicken, oh."

- how has no one said this up to this point?

...the secret recipe is...cough syrup. Simple, over the counter, children's cough syrup!

What color is the boathouse at Hereford?

You can get some pretty intricate spice mixtures from family to family. My grandmother's family uses eight spices in varying amounts. While the spices are important, what is of the upmost importance is to mix part of your spice mixture into the buttermilk which you marinate your chicken in overnight so that flavors get drawn in. If you do that, man, that's good eatin'.

Who cares anymore? Are they trying to tell me that in today's world, a company which really wanted to know the recipe couldn't just buy a bucket and have a lab "CSI" its ingredients?

"Fact: Harland Sanders was no more a colonel than the USA is a democracy."

#5 It has been a long time since I read it but William Poundstone revealed the Colonel's secret herbs and spices 20+ years ago in his book "Big Secrets": salt, pepper and MSG.

How the hell did the Dolans get involved in KFC?

How about KFC Chickens are overweight, covered in ammonia burns and suffer on a daily basis.

#6, you forgot Polonium.

IBS in a bucket... KFC is just rancid. I agree with #10 McDonald's fries and nuggets are so fucking bland without transfats..

If it's gonna be amateur night, I want a hundred thousand dollars.

kfc tastes like shit

poppeyes is a whole lotta better than kfc crap, but more salty.

Anybody notice that after they banned Transfats that fast food tastes like shit? Mcdonalds fries and Chicken Nuggets don't taste as good.

Secret recipe ingredients also aid bowel movements!

Seriously, nobody still knows the secret recipe at this point? We can't sit down Guy Fieri for 5 minutes and have him eat a bucket of chicken and tell us the ingredients?

Are rats part of the recipe?

What's in the case? Is it heavy, is it explosive, is it chained to some unlucky bloke's wrist? Are we gonna have to chop it off?

Bo Dietl is a crackpot, a hilarious crackpot at that. The Colonel's secrets are safe.

if it wasn't a publicity stunt, why did they hire bo dietl?

locks into a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist

What an arm worth? I'd hate to be that guy!
