I was asked a Question Regarding the Different Reported Recipes that claim to be CHS Eg: Elu, Ledington, Settle as examples as there are a few more BUT you get the Point.
From 1939 until CHS death he was Always working on the Recipe and or Recipes Based on Continual Spice issues and HIS HATE for what KFC New Age was doing directedly or in-directedly with the Spice and Herbs Mix they were saying were the Original.
CHS Knew it was NOT the Original and would HAVE NOT Sue KFC NEW AGE unless he knew they dishonored the Sale Contract. for 2 million Dollars.
CHS worked in the New Age KFC Lab at the head office, for YEARS and up to his death CONTINUALLY.
Brown and Massey Both Asked staff if the OLD MAN was in the Building, as they wanted to Avoid him, CHS often Hid in the Lab as He did not want to see them either.
So the Recipes that are out floating the WWW and personal collections Can be ones CHS had worked on YES. Brown & Massey Were forced to make changes to the Recipe BUT it was due to Spice Issues and How much Spice and Herbs were being used NOT ONLY by KFC, but Campbell's, Kraft, McDonald and every other Franchise Food processor and Fast Food Source.
Bill S from Marion Kay said it BEST There was NOT enough Tellicherry Pepper Grown to supply KFC Demand and All the other demands for it. It's NOT hard to reference the amount of Spice Volume used in the USA its well documented in the USA import Yearly Volumes. The issue is NO different then 2021/2022 where there ARE major Spice Shortages world wide.
Personally we Purchase Thousand's of Pounds of Spices and Herbs with the Major Importers in Canada and have items on Back order now for 2 years. In Canada Costco as had to rotate there Spices and Suppliers Due to Shortage. The Bulk Barns in Canada have had shortages Continually also it does NOT matter where they are all effected. Yes some places have they Spice BUT they are locations who's Prices DO NOT dictate the extra PRICES.
So the different Recipes are and Can be ones CHS did have involvement with.
I would like Input into the Closest WWW creation etc Elu, Ledington, Glen, Ken ETC ETC ETC you have found to the NEW AGE OR ORIGINAL KFC you might remember.
I find that the recipes Elu, Ledington BOTH have similar ingredients and Volumes. Elu has more of a Aroma Punch then others. The situation is Most people use ALL the Spice mixed with Flour, as directed. While some indications suggest spice and herb was added to the Egg Warsh or seasoned to the Chicken in Brine or Dry Rub. it's a flip of a coin.
In my research THERE IS NO Chicken Processor for 40 Years who have NOT soaked the Chicken or Dipped the Chicken into a Solution for FRESH SHIPMENT which does NOT have some type of Preservative or Flavor Profile.
Please ad your Valued input or Top Recipe you have found on the WWW. Maybe we will come to ONE which many find the Best of the Worse
