Kentucky Fried Chicken

Kentucky Fried Chicken is a fast food restaurant chain based in Louisville, Kentucky. The company was founded as Kentucky Fried Chicken by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1952 and is known mainly for its fried chicken.

Born and raised in Henryville, Indiana, Sanders passed through several professions in his lifetime.Sanders first served his fried chicken in 1930 in the midst of the Great Depression at a gas station he owned in Corbin, Kentucky. The dining area was named "Sanders Court & Café" and was so successful that in 1936 Kentucky Governor Ruby Laffoon granted Sanders the title of honorary Kentucky Colonel, in recognition of his contribution to the state's cuisine. The following year Sanders expanded his restaurant to 142 seats and added a motel he bought across the street. When Sanders prepared his chicken in his original restaurant in Corbin, he prepared the chicken in an iron skillet, which took about 30 minutes to do, too long for a restaurant operation. In 1939 Sanders altered the cooking process for his fried chicken to use a pressure fryer, resulting in a greatly reduced cooking time comparable to that of deep frying. In 1940 Sanders perfected his Original Recipe.

The Sanders Court & Café generally served travelers, often those headed to Florida, so when the route planned in the 1950s for what would become Interstate 75 bypassed Corbin, he sold his properties and traveled the U.S. to sell his chicken to restaurant owners. Sanders entered into franchise agreements paying him five cents for each piece of chicken sold. The first to take him up on the offer was Pete Harman in South Salt Lake, Utah; together, they opened the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" outlet in 1952. By the early 1960's Kentucky Fried Chicken was being sold in over 600 franchised outlets in the United States and Canada.

Sanders sold the entire KFC franchising operation in 1964 for $2 million ($10.2 million in 2007 dollars), and it has since been sold three more times, most recently to PepsiCo, which made it part of its Tricon Global Restaurants division, which in turn was spun off in 1997 and has now been renamed to Yum! Brands.
