Harland, aka colonel sanders, started his successful fried chicken franchise
in 1952, perfecting the time it took to prepare the famous "fried chicken"
while maintaining its unique flavor.
but years before that, he was marketing his deep-fat, pressure cooker to
diners and restaurants throughout the south, where he would demonstrate the
speedy cooking technique. servers could get a fried chicken order to the
customer's table in less than half the time it took with traditional
skillet-frying.
the final, coveted recipe for "Kentucky fried chicken" is locked in a vault
in Louisville, where only a few people (sworn to secrecy) know the actual
ingredients of the multi-million dollar recipe.

*FYI....... as of year end 2007, these four states were supplying 31 % of the world's production.. LT
