In 1930, Harlan Sanders, the founder of KFC, opened a restaurant in his hometown of Kentucky, USA.

During this period, Sanders devoted himself to researching new methods of fried chicken, and finally succeeded in inventing a secret recipe composed of eleven spices and unique cooking techniques. Its unique taste was well received by customers, and the restaurant business was booming day by day, and the secret recipe was inherited.

to date.

In recognition of his contribution to his hometown, the state of 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 running a Corbin gas station in Kentucky at the age of 40.

In order to increase his revenue, he began to make various snacks and provide them to passing tourists. Because his reputation for cooking delicious food attracted passing tourists, the business has grown slowly and steadily since then.

As his reputation grew, Ruby Laffon, the then governor of Kentucky, awarded him the title of Kentucky Colonel in 1935 in recognition of his contribution to Kentucky's catering.

The colonel's most famous specialty is the fried chicken he carefully developed and invented.

This is Deji's most popular product today. It is cooked with a magic formula of eleven spices concocted by the colonel after ten years of research. It will make you suck your fingers after tasting it.

The delicious fried chicken attracts many customers.

However, the traditional fried chicken method requires customers to wait thirty minutes before enjoying their food.

By 1939, the puzzle was answered when the colonel visited a pressure cooker demonstration.

The colonel bought a pressure cooker and went home. After doing various experiments on cooking time, pressure and oil, he finally discovered a unique method of frying chicken.

The fried chicken fried under pressure was the most delicious fried chicken he had ever tasted. To this day, KFC Fried Chicken still maintains this secret of using a pressure cooker.

The Colonel's business faced a crisis in the mid-1950s when the road next to his Sanders Cafe was opened to a new highway, forcing him to sell the restaurant.

The colonel was already 66 years old at the time, but he felt he was still young and did not need to rely on social welfare benefits to live on. This turned out to be a turning point in his career.

The colonel used his old Ford car produced in 1946 to set out on the road carrying his eleven spice recipes and his right-hand assistant-a pressure cooker.

He went to restaurants across Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky to sell fried chicken recipes and methods to interested restaurants.

The first authorized KFC restaurant was established in Salt Lake City in 1952.

Surprisingly, in just five years, Colonel's has developed 400 chain stores in the United States and Canada, which was the beginning of the world's catering franchise.
