 The secret recipe for KFC's iconic fried chicken is by far the most sought-after.

For decades now, the Colonel has kept his chicken recipe close to his chest.

 Though KFC was incorporated in 1955, Colonel Harland Sanders had actually been perfecting the recipe in the decades prior.

Even though he also cooked other foods, his fried chicken really stood out.

 And, in the early 1940s, shortly after opening his first restaurant and motel, the newly-appointed Kentucky Colonel had finally perfected his "original recipe" chicken and thus, the KFC we know and love was born.

The restaurant was an instant success, and its growth across the country was rapid.

 In the years following on from its debut, KFC restaurants began popping up all over America and, slowly, the rest of the world.

People were hooked on the Colonel's chicken.

 And, as a result, KFC today stands as one of the most successful fast-food restaurants of all time with over 23,000 outlets all over the world.

But it's all thanks to one thing:

 The Colonel's timeless Original Recipe chicken, of course.

To this day, his original recipe remains one of the world's best-kept secrets.

 The Colonel's lips remained sealed regarding his infamous recipe right up until his death in 1980.

No one knows the true original recipe.

 And the only information the Colonel ever revealed was that it contains "eleven herbs and spices", and that it is made of ingredients that "stand on everybody's shelf".

Obviously, thousands of people have tried their hand at recreating the Colonel's delicious mix of herbs and spices themselves...

 But very few have even been close to fully replicating the Original Recipe Kentucky chicken.

Until now.

 After eighteen months of trying to recreate the KFC recipe at home, and clearly bored in self-isolation, one man has come forward to claim that he has cracked the herby, spicy code.

Twitter user, Dan Fell, took to the social media platform to boast about his achievement...

 And to share the alleged Original Recipe with the world once and for all. After the recipe went viral, whoever runs the KFC Twitter account has decided to ask people to share their attempts to they can rate them... And the responses were savage.
