Eleven Herbs and Spices

The secret recipe for the fried chicken from KFC (the renamed Kentucky Fried Chicken) famously contains "eleven herbs and spices."  The secret recipe is a closely guarded secret with elaborate procedures protecting the paper with the original recipe and for manufacturing the breading mix for the company's restaurants.

How It's Used

"Consider Dong Yongjian, the 33-year-old proprietor of a spicy-chicken-feet factory an hour's drive from the Chongqing store. Wal-Mart buyers stumbled on Dong's product four years ago at a rival retailer in Shenzhen. They sent a team of auditors to inspect his factory and began stocking his chicken feet in stores. Dong's chicken-feet recipe—which he guards as zealously as Colonel Sanders did his 'secret blend of 11 herbs and spices'—was an immediate hit. Wal-Mart has become Dong's top customer.”

—Clay Chandler, “The Great Wal-Mart of China,” Fortune Magazine, July 11, 2005.
