While the disclosure may seem unintentional, Ledington didn't seem at all concerned about giving away the restaurant's special secret. In fact, Jones said the Colonel's nephew was very excited to share the scrapbook with the family's precious memories.
This Is What Happened…
When Jones asked if those were THE 11 herbs and spices, the very ones that have been kept under wraps for so long, Ledington didn't hesitate in confirming. Ledington even said when he was younger, he used to help blend those ingredients in the Colonel's garage.
For anyone who's ever wondered just what's in that special seasoning, here's the special seasoning recipe in its entirety:
1. 2/3 teaspoon of salt
2. 1/2 teaspoon of thyme
3. 1.2 teaspoon of basil
4. 1/2 teaspoon of oregano
5. 1 teaspoon of celery salt
6. 1 teaspoon of black pepper
7. 1 teaspoon of dried mustard
8. 4 teaspoons of paprika
9. 2 teaspoons of garlic salt
10. 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
11. 3 teaspoons of white pepper
Mixed with 2 cups of flour
WOW!
Who knew that closely guarded recipe was so simple? In fact, it sounds so easy and simple to make that we may just try it ourselves. After all, why go out when it's possible to make a copycat recipe right at home?
Enjoy!

Doesn’t taste like it used to anyway.
What was the brat doing with the recipe anyway
not the recipe
KFC is nothing like it was yrs ago. The last couple time we got it the chicken taste nasty. Its not what it use to be. I thought it was just the one in town.
Definitely not the recipe
The chicken does not taste like it used to, the recipe has changed. Don’t go to KFC anymore.
The chicken pot pies used to be all white meat .now it’s mixed white and brown ugh. No more pot pies for me.!
Cole slaw even terrible since changed it. Loved it better early 80s 90s
There is supose to be 16 spices in the recipe I count only 11. So I think maybe somebody is pulling our leg !!
I saw that thought it was me. Like them too
Lol what a lie lol that’s the copy cat recipe
Rather have Bojangles
Who cares….
Sorry, but there are way too many places that fry chicken much better than KFC! #whocares
DUH. Cooks with discerning palates have been making this fried chicken–and much better fried chicken–for years.
the pot pies are just left over chicken they didn’t sell. lol

Freaking click bait
Click bait… save yourself the time
Click bait crap…
worth trying. might just be really good
you would still need the special pressure cookers, times, temps…..
and that is IF this is the real recipe !!
without a pressure fryers you’ll never get close anyways
I have had it for years..I bought Todd Wilbers book and it’s in there…lol
Not a secret recipe. It’s been known for years what it is. It’s the pressure frying that’s the only way. Chester Fried is my favorite chicken
I would rather have Lee’s or Kroger’s.
Jan Anderson-Christiansen
I like Kroger’s
That’s not the friggin recipe idiots.
I have the recipe for Starbucks coffee. …… Burnt coffee beans.
You are right–that’s NOT the secret!!!!
