History of Kentucky Fried Chicken

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, who began cooking and serving meals to travelers from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression in the 1930s. His unique blend of 11 herbs and spices, combined with his pressure-cooking technique, made his fried chicken stand out. As his popularity grew, Sanders began to franchise his recipe and restaurant model, leading to the birth of KFC in 1952 when the first franchise opened in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Throughout the 1960s and 70s, KFC experienced rapid growth both in the United States and internationally. Colonel Sanders became a recognizable figure, appearing in advertising and becoming a symbol of the brand. The company changed hands several times, with Sanders selling it in 1964, but his image and legacy remained central to KFC's identity. By the end of the 1970s, KFC had become one of the largest fast-food chains in the world.

In the decades that followed, KFC expanded into new markets and adapted its menu to suit local tastes, especially in Asia, where it gained enormous popularity. Despite facing competition and criticism over health and animal welfare issues, KFC has remained a major player in the global fast-food industry. Today, KFC operates in over 150 countries, continuing to build on the legacy of Colonel Sanders and his famous Original Recipe chicken.
