Bill S. Told CHS he added 1 MORE item which was NOT in the Original Spice when he recreated the KFC spice from what CHS had gave Bill S to recreate.
THAT ITEM WAS CORRIANDER.
One day the Colonel came to visit Mr. Summers and brought some of the Kentucky Fried Chicken seasoning with him. Colonel Sanders was not happy with the way the seasoning was tasting. The Colonel had sold the business a few years back and the Colonel suspected the present owners had changed something about the seasoning mix. The Colonel left a package of the present-day blend of the famous 11 herbs and spices and gave Mr. Summers a challenge; try and figure out what is in the famous blend of herbs and spices.
Mr. Summers told me how he spread the seasoning out on a piece of paper and started taking inventory of the ingredients by eye sight, smell, and taste. Mr. Summers not only figured out the “secret” recipe but figured out what inferior spices had been substituted for spices that were probably of better quality back in the day when the Colonel himself was doing the blending. Mr. Summers blended an “improved” batch of the secret recipe and waited for the Colonel to return.
Colonel Sanders came back to visit Mr. Summers the next week. That day the Colonel and Mr. Summers were going to cook and compare chicken.
Mr. Summers had the Colonels Original Recipe seasoning; or something very close. Actually, Mr. Summers had, what he felt, was a superior version. Mr. Summers thought that 99% of the recipe was the Colonels and a
Mr. Summers secret change was the remaining 1% of the new blend. (This Line was what Bill S was always speaking about in the Change adding Coriander).

So what was in CHS's recipe if it didn't contain Coriander?

Caraway Seed Ground is Great with Poultry and must be used sparingly for true flavor as it can be overwhelming Caraway Seed has been around Much longer then Coriander
We use a Caraway and Coriander Blend in many items
Caraway Seed pares well with The flavor of Mace which has a of pepper and cinnamon taste quality.
Bay Leaf ground is also a OLD OLD spice which many put into KFC and take out BUT it has been used in Poultry and Game and Stuffing for A LONG LONG TIME

flg , I'm eagerly awaiting your results in combining Celery Seed with Caraway Seed. Me too.
Last night when surfing the interwebs I found a couple old recipe threads from a cooking site. These where 2007-2008. Anyway the concept was tried then. No real indication of success. But they appeared to use 3/4 teaspoon of caraway seeds and 1/4 teaspoon of celery seeds in 2 cups flour. At preliminary glance I'd be the exact opposite if anything.

The real question still is what version of OR are individuals targeting. For me it's not 1930's so I can write that off. I ate more KFC in the 70's and early 80's than I do today. Best I could pick would be around the time he sold out. But I wouldn't be able to tell how it tasted then.
As live in Canada I may have had the opportunity to taste more OR like KFC during those years. But who knows

I would think that KFC was better tasting in Canada than in the USA from 1964 through 1980.

Canada was much better as CHS was running the show and the Spices and Herbs used

The previously melding #16 has been tossed out, and the split (half with Celery Seed, and half with Coriander Seed) #17 recipe is now melding and on deck to be cooked.  silver when I click on your link to see the recipe it goes to a blank page on the postimage site. Is it just me or are others having the same issue? cfc |
