3. 1930, the founder of KFC Harlan . Sanders opened a restaurant in his home state of Kentucky, USA. During this period, Sanders studied the new method of fried chicken, and finally succeeded in inventing eleven kinds of spices and unique cooking technology synthesis of the secret recipe, its unique flavor by the customer's popularity, the restaurant business is increasingly prosperous, the secret recipe has been inherited to this day. In recognition of his contribution to his home state, Kentucky awarded him the honorary title of Colonel Sanders.
The image of Colonel Sanders in a suit, with white hair and a goatee, has become the best symbol of the KFC international brand.
Colonel Sanders' success began when he was 40 years old and operating a Corbin gas station in Kentucky. In order to increase revenue, he began making his own snacks and serving them to passing travelers, and the business grew slowly and steadily as his reputation for cooking attracted them to the station. As his reputation grew, then-Governor Ruby Laffon made him a Kentucky Colonel in 1935, recognizing his contributions to Kentucky dining.
The Colonel's most famous specialty was the fried chicken he developed and invented. It's KFC's most popular product today, made with a magical eleven-spice recipe that the Colonel developed over a decade of research, and is a finger-licking delight.
The delicious fried chicken has attracted many customers. However, the traditional method of frying chicken meant that customers had to wait 30 minutes for their food. By 1939, this dilemma was answered when the Colonel visited a pressure cooker demonstration. The Colonel purchased a pressure cooker and, after experimenting with cooking time, pressure, and adding oil, discovered a unique method of frying chicken. The chicken fried under pressure was the best he had ever tasted, and Kentucky Fried Chicken still uses this pressure cooker technique today.
The Colonel's business faced a crisis in the mid-1950s when the road next to his Sanders Cafe was crossed by a new highway, forcing him to sell the restaurant. The Colonel was 66 years old at the time, but he felt he was too young to be on Social Security, and it turned his career around.
The colonel set out on the road in his 1946 Ford with his eleven spice recipes and his right-hand man, the pressure cooker. He traveled to restaurants throughout Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, selling the recipe and method of fried chicken to interested restaurants, and in 1952 the first licensed KFC restaurant was established in Salt Lake City. Surprisingly, in just five years, the Colonel has developed a chain of 400 stores in the United States and Canada, which is the beginning of the world of restaurant franchising franchise.
