Featuring North America’s – Hospitality Dish . . . Col. Sanders’ Recipe Kentucky Fried Chicken. The Story of Kentucky Fried Chicken

Kentucky Fried Chicken is NOT pre-cooked, par boiled, half baked or French fried for speed or convenience of serving. Col. Sanders’ recipe consists of fresh (not frozen) locally grown plump broilers. Chicken is dipped in milk and egg, rolled in flour seasoned with 11 different spices and friend minutes before serving. Col. Sanders’ special method and equipment for fast frying seals in all the natural goodness and juices of the chicken.

We are proud to have been selected to serve this delicacy to our patrons.

Here’s a Delicious “Old South” Terat: Plump, succulent young chicken fried to a turn, by a special process developed by Col. Sanders, sealing in all the natural goodness and flavor. Before frying, the chicken is dipped in milk, then dredged in flour seasoned with herbs and spices lending a zesty richness that you will love. Truly a MEMORABLE MOUTH WATERING TREAT.
