I am 56 yo. I went to my first Kentucky Fried Chicken around 1966ish. In Clawson, MI Nobody today knows what the real Kentucky Fried Chicken tasted like or that it was JUICY. The skin STUCK to your fingers, hence finger licking good. If they are putting in any of the original herbs and spices in the chicken today, it is either a trace or a ruse. Ever since the Colonel passed Kentucky Fried Chicken, now KFC is putrid. 11 herbs and spices? Secret? Why? They don't use them. Also, what about ALLERGIES? Many foods just say "spices" and don't list them. Yet they can plaster may contain peanuts or has wheat or milk or get my point? Nothing ever said about someone being allergic to a spice as in "spices". Why is that? Protecting secret recipes? What a bunch of BS. KFC would probably say we just use pepper, no other spices. What people today believe is excellent is NOT. I wish I could let you eat a REAL piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken like it used to be.
