- Making the perfect fried chicken as we know it - juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside - used to be a luxury. But a man named Harland Sanders changed that after mastering his own recipe - inside a gas station.

Famous whoa whoa whoa let's not put those words into an greasy fast food chicken place there's better places than this unless your just cheap or got poor taste in food quality
@Rafael Suprayogi r/ihaveredditchainreaction
The old man went through so much and I’m honoured to have been working there for 2 years as a cook and making the chicken he worked so hard to formulate
The recipes was stolen from miss childress and he tried to pay her 1500$ for it
He ended up hating KFC when they changed the recipe after he sold it. He compared it to wet newspaper.
You probably didn't cook the chicken he worked so hard to formulate.
@@chemicalflame24 There is no actual evidence to support those claims
Did i ask
@@johnnycage6132 wats your email. I will b more den happy to send it to u
It is sad that Kentucky Fried Chicken is gone. When they changed to to KFC they shortcutted everything from the way the Chicken was deep-fried to the way the mashed potatoes were made. I was fortunate to have worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in the early 80's.
I always hear about how it used to be. I was born in 87 and KFC was never ever the go to spot for fried chicken.
It is still Kentucky Fried Chicken here in Frederick Maryland.
@@MetalsirenIXI you must have been in a place where kfc wasn't popular
But isn't KFC a short name for Kentucky fried chicken?
@@eva5601 he means, when it was actually KFC
He was still hustling and sleeping in his car at 63, what a lad.
Gotta keep grinding till u get it
Little did he know that 10 years later will be the finish line
True
Mad lad
Lad??
He started his big business at the age of 66. It's never too late folks! Respect for this businessman
Execute order 66
Yeah but he had a skill and a unique recipe. Also money wasn't his goal. Most wantrepreneurs just believe they deserve to be millionaires.
It’s not too late until it is
it's too late at at most 100
100% truth - it's never too late to do something great in your life.
I love Kentucky Fried Chicken as I did growing up in the 70's which I still like the orginal recipe. I wish they still sold dinner rolls vs biscuits and wish still had baked beans too.
I miss the baked beans.
I forgot about the dinner rolls.
They sell diner rolls here in saudi arabia
The standards have dropped so far
Miss the chicken livers and buttermilk.
I can remember my Dad in the 70's, bringing home a bucket of KFC. Its was great.
Today...the chicken is not the same. If the Colonel was alive..he would shut them all down. Just not the same !!
They have modified it a lot through the years. You can try to replicate the original recipe if you like
You could probably say the same for all the franchised fast food outlets I bet McDonald’s was better back then too
Even though it's not the same at least we still have it. I grew up in the '80s and it's definitely not the same I mean I think it's gotten saltier. My wife and I went there for the first time and quite a while a couple of months ago and I just think it still had a lot of the same flavor I remember but I just remember thinking it was a lot saltier than I remember.
The coleslaw is now non existent and the gravy sucks now too. I loved the coleslaw!
Imagine Sanders in his car, crying about his worries as he munches his own KFCs.
Comfort food
@Phil Sr Money kept him going. Money, desperation and a dream.
Stop it man 😭
depressing
He never ate his own food in his car
"He found algebra too difficult" I see you are a man of culture aswell
algebruh
This is an awful joke
**Intense Sweating**
Algebra was easy, but he did what he had to in the end
Ah yes
Algebra
What an amazing person. This is what we call true struggle and never giving attitude, truly a strong person. This motivates everyone

"Every failure is a stepping stone to something better" -- Harland Sanders. Fantastic Quote.
That was pessimistic tbh
@@HyperCreatorX how ??
@@HyperCreatorX you mean optimistic right.
@@HyperCreatorX looking back at how many failures he had. I can say that it was more likely optimistic instead of pessimistic if that's what you thought
School and parents: failure means your not trying
Dude got rejected 1000 times and didn’t give up
This man is a real man
Possibly a slight exaggeration
This is why you shouldn’t give up because oui will eventually success
Yup hes one of the most inspiring chefs in the entire world
True, to lose his virginity at 73 after that many rejections was like Mr. Etna going up
Has happened to a lot of famous people such as the famous book writer JK Rowling
This actually made me feel a little better, namely the lesson about adversity. I’m in a spot in my own life in that sense too. We see all the superficial images but it goes to show that even huge successes are touched by failure and hardship
My boss was a limo driver and drove the original colonel sanders back in the day to a kfc commercial shoot in Illinois. He said the colonel sat up front with him and had a great conversation with him and apparently he is a very good guy.
Got rejected 1009 times
Me : got rejected 1 time
Me : *if nothing will accept me then i wont work!*
Same I'm literally terrified of the word no.
I got rejected 1 time.
I tried again.
I got a restriction order 🤣
Same
*weak*
me too. i just think new generation is getting soft. but i try hard to get back up
This man is the definition of the word “hustle”
Dude was 60+ and slept in his car to make his dream come true... Crazy
Someone really needs to make a movie about his life...
im not using the word hustle anymore...
"good Harland girls!!"
(i play lacrosse lol)
he knows all the numbers aljeBRUH
Why isn’t there a movie on this ?
This man is the essence of not giving up
I wish everyone had the chance to try it back in the 60s and 70s. It was truly amazing chicken then.
It's ok now, but a far cry from what it once was. The only way now is to make it yourself.
Thank you Colonel, wherever you are!

(Not being mean)
Nahh it was definitely the Black family he stole his recipe from that started his whole career
In the 60s and 70s our nearest Kentucky fried chicken was 40 miles away. It was an event to drive there. Back then it was a sit down restaurant with waitresses and menus. A real day trip.
Wonderful story. Totally forgot the Canadian connection. 🇨🇦 He kept his Canadian restaurants near Toronto airport in the city named Mississauga where he lived in a modest home and died. He loved his Canadian operations he would just come in at talk to people. He donated some of his money into the local hospital expansion and is referred by staff as The Chicken Wing . Colonel Harland Sanders Family Care Centre, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics for his love for children. ❤ 😢🍗🍗

I didn't know that. Thank you. Hamilton boy here.
here's the absolute short version of this:
*NEVER GIVE UP.*
Shawtys like a melody in my head
"NEVER GONNA GIVE! NEVER GONNA GIVE!"
@@rafaellucero5098 give you up

RioTap I kind of like it.
"no, no! I can't understand algebra, its too complicated!"
*Calculates the perfect pression and temperature that he is going to use in order to cook something that will totally change the way we see chicken*
People excel at different things. Algebra is pure theory, and Sanders was a hands on type of guy
That's not algebra.
He didn't calculate it. He figured it out through trial and error. It took a lot of hard work. In my book that's even more admirable.
@Devilry Games You forget he had many more years than that cooking fried chicken conventionally. Once he perfected (or optimized) the pan fry method, he had all that experience going into the the pressure cooker method.
Sometimes we get overwhelmed at the thought of doing something so complicated yet useless. He was stimulated by something he loved. You'll only use math when keys for something you're passionate about
My first job in the early 80's was working at KFC in my hometown unfortunately it only lasted for one day because being born with mosaic down syndrome it was very intense. However I had the greatest pleasure to meet Colonel Harland Sanders in the mid-70's because I have family in Louisville. KY so my family and I flyed and by than I was very happy to meet him.
Classic Bro! Nice man 😂🤣😁👏🏻
Very enjoyable. Mr Sanders never had it easy but what a nice chap he seems to be. It makes me feel glad it worked out for him in the end.
Me: Watches the history of KFC.
The Ad: *MCDONALD'S*
True

Jollibee is the best among the rest. Lol
@julida nana kfc brother

Imagine your mom questioning if you’ll ever amount to something because she expects you to have the work ethic of an adult at 10 years old
I'm at 30 and i don't have the work ethic of an adult , I don't care if i get fired .
I hope she lived long enough to see him succeed and I hope he didn't give her a penny.
Times we're different back then, can't be helped. Child Labor was a thing
Back when it was still ok to train kids to be adults.
Times were drastically different back. Then
Big respect for this man 👏 he is truly legend what a good inspiration,never give up in life
Too bad the old boy isn't around today. I'd love to see him take a tour of his 'underperforming' stores. Heads would roll, I'll tell ya!!
Not really 😕
Mom: Look! You can't even get a job at age 10!
Sanders: * helps millions of teen get a job decades later *
Sanders: "Can I hitch a ride?"
GM: "Sure, hop in. So how's life?"
Sanders: "Not so good, fired many times and no luck landing a job"
GM: "Wanna run a gas station?"
Sanders: "Cool!"
......ehhh
A situation completely unheard of in modern times
@@derekn4579 Sad but true
I mean he was optimistic and had great people skills, just down on his luck until he was 63. So insane to be honest most people would be crying about their luck but I guess some are made strong.
Sanders has been through alot, and this journey he has been through is an example for those who want to follow Sander's footsteps. Thxn for giving us history behind KFC. keep up the good work.
1973 in Lexington Kentucky, I lived next door to an elderly lady named Eula Gibson. In the early days, Colonel Sanders employed her to create recipes for his restaurant in Corbin Kentucky. In 1973, only 3 people knew the recipe for KFC chicken… Sanders, Eula Gibson and one other (unknown). It is highly likely that Mrs. Gibson created the recipe and not Colonel Sanders. As a kid, she would make KFC chicken at home for me and her 7 year old grandson Ford Gibson. 🍗🍗🍗
Today kfc : oil fryers.
OG colonel : Pressure cooker.
And it's no longer 11 herbs and spices. Their is only 7 spices and 5 herbs that's it.
They still use pressure fryers
@@benos4x4adventures49 wait a minute…

and that's a true rags to riches story. his mother would be proud now.

She’d be jealous
i have never ever seen mother who is jealous of her son's successes.
He is dead
His mom is dead bruv. Sorry.
Imagine a guy that drop out of 7th grade became such a successful businessman while going through depression and world war 2. Inspirational.
Dude Hustled alot and made his Dream Come true what an Inspiration Harland Sanders 🔥.
By twelve yrs old he had already experienced more hardship than most people experience through their entire lives. RIP SANDERS.
Kosnanat
Definitely more hardship than I, and I'm 23
Ofc, it's in the olden days. Every average person had way more hardship than ppl now
Having a job and a stepfather who just wants to plow your mom and wants nothing to do with you... thats like 80% of Americans by the age of 16
Harland lived to age 90, and passed away in Louisville, Kentucky in 1980. He is buried there.
can we just appreciate how dedicated and humble he was?
shut up

What an amazing incredible entrepreneurial story !!! very inspiring, never give up on your passion is the surest way to succeed
To those who got to taste a bucket from sanders himself should consider themselves lucky.

Fried chicken is a pretty simple recipe. The only reason Colonel Sanders is renowned is because he popularized it.

Unlike any other competitor, whose chicken can be easily replicated at home, KFC has stood the test of time. To make it at home, you have to get the seasoning right(which is still a secret). That's not just a mystery (though some have gotten mighty close), but also is a question of the adhesion. It has to blend into the flour perfectly also. Then, you have to cook it right. The cooking time has to be precise. Most of all, you have to have a pressure cooker. Good luck on that; they're expensive, hard to set up, hard to clean, and hazardous if you're not careful.
I know Colonel Sanders is a real person but idk I never imagined how he would sound in real life, this video seems surreal to me
had the same thought
The only american colonel to take over the world peacefully.
Idk means
I'm thinking the exact same thing! Never occurred to me that there would be video footage of him.
Yeah. I can't imagine it... living on Social Security check
Pretty sure the brew sent most of us here.
Haha yep!
Yep lol.
that’s is true😂

i dont regret it tho
What an interesting, challenging, eventful, hard-work, and successful life. He lived during challenging times in the United States, during the depression and world war 2, and kept persevering. This man was exceptional!

I actually met him when I was a little kid. Super nice guy. And yeah, he was dressed like that. Lil more info: His wife's restaurant is just outside of Louisville, KY where you can get the 'original' original recipe. It's called Claudia Sanders and if you're driving past Corbin, KY the KFC there has a rebuilt motel room and the original kitchen. It's kind of a KFC museum.

Did they change it back since the beginning of the 21st century because when I went there it was good or if the Colonel's way was better I got to try it
Welp he wants his customers to get 100% quality
He also shot a man in front of his gas station kfc
Hey, when it’s your hard work, name, business & money on the line; you BETTER jump over those counters & scream your head off!

I will never forget - it was around the time of the great 3 day black out of 1977 in New York City. I was 10. My father said “come on, let’s go get some KFC.“ We walked through the door, and there was the colonel greeting everyone. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the first time I probably saw anyone from TV live. And this was… In the Bronx! I actually shook his hand. 😀
My childhood, KFC was always my favorite and we only got to eat it when our parents got paid. It was a luxury and we loved it. I also heard in Japan KFC is an important part of Christmas it's not Christmas without KFC❤️
The old ad is amazing!!!
