Eleven Herbs and Spices Posted September 6, 2009 @ 7:24 pm In Eleven,Numbers | No Comments 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. |
"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.”
