What a great historical clip that puts the real Colonel Sanders in a good light - unlike the hokey new commercials that are airing these days.
Years before Sanders died he was mortified with the cost-cutting changes in his recipes and methods after selling the rights to his restaurants and image. He was most angry about the changes in the gravy. He was a stickler about all of the aspects of his meals but considered the gravy "most sacred" . He referred to it (the changed recipe gravy) as "sludge" and "wallpaper paste". He stayed involved with the company as his image was licensed and he really DID love the customers. He considered himself as an ambassador for the state of Kentucky. Now, I'm sure the money helped but he really did seem to be sorely disappointed with the quality and then of course, flavor changes of "his chicken" and he would often voice those criticisms much to the chagrin of what became KFC corporate. I believe that they even threatened him with legal action if he continued to voice his "frank" comments.
These old videos are so cool to watch
Milk and egg "warsh"...love it
I eat at his home when I was a little boy and that's how he made it that day for my family and that is the best chicken I have ever eat and my mouth still waters up just thinking of that day with him and his wife what a real nice man mr colonel Harland sanders
I have never seen anyone who looks like Sanders. He is like Abe Lincoln and George Washington. An American classic.
This is when the original recipe ckicken was really good, This show ran from 1962-1965
swamprocker1966 I wish I could find other clips from this period. That was my favorite show, when I was able to watch it. My favorite episode was the one where Tennessee Ernie danced to "The Stripper". It was hilarious.
Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Garlic powdered, Cloves, All spice, Parsley, Basil, Oregano, Chives.
I watched this when I was a toddler
Years later, Minnie Pearl would have her own chain of fried chicken restaurants.
Toby Radloff That's semi-ironic.
Wonderful video/ great to see the master at work/ RIP Colonel
And he was from and created his historical recipe in the town of Corbin in Laurel County, Ky. His first restaurant, which is still there, is less than a mile from my Grandparents home.
Been there many times!!
Anna Lou Evans He was actually from Henryville, Indiana. I spent a lot of time with him as a child and he always came back to Henryville for our town's celebrations and parades.

All I know, he lived in Corbin Ky, and started the first Ky Fried Chicken there. The remodeled building is still there with
his living quarters and cooking equipment in part of the building.
Colonel is life.
The Colonel never got paid what he should have when he sold KFC. It was worth ten times what he got. His recipe got watered down as well once the corporate beasts took over. I can almost duplicate his recipe, though. The main ingredients in the breading flour are salt, black pepper and nutmeg. Like he said, frying it in a pressure cooker is essential to getting the right flavor. Frying in an open skillet will not taste the same.
I've read that white pepper is the secret ingredient. I kind of think it is. I haven't used it in chicken yet, but have used it in a couple other things & it has that KFC taste nothing else has.
He is cooking !
Wow cool.Never seen this before. Having KFC tonight !!!!
I haven't liked the mashed potatoes since they changed the gravy sometime in the late 70's to early 80s. They changed it to taste like everybody elses
It was so stupid when they changed his hairstyle on the logo a few years ago... That's when the chicken went from Big pieces to Puny pieces. Since then I think they have eased up on that, but KFC is not what it was 20 years ago.
+SynergyCeleste KFC reportedly uses local chicken suppliers for their chicken. The problem is, that there are a lot fewer chicken suppliers than there used to be. For example, the KFC in Warren, Ohio gets their chicken from Imler's Poultry, in Altoona, Pennsylvania (in the Eastern part of the state). They have to drive a refrigerated truck all the way across the State of Pennsylvania to Eastern Ohio, in order to supply our local KFC Restaurant. A lot of things can go wrong with chicken in transit, with that amount of distance to cover. I am sure that it is a lot worse in some other states, where KFC Restaurants have to get their chicken supply from EVEN FURTHER distances than this. This leads to an eventually inferior product in the long-term.
It was most likely thrown together in a hurry by a teenager that was chomping at the bit to finish his/her shift, and either go home, or go out to party on a Friday or Saturday night with friends.
Larry Ressler Are you saying that there was a teen in the graphics department at this major corporation, that made this decision, on his OWN, and then had all the corporate logos changed... Sorry, that would NOT happen!
No. The teen did a sloppy job preparing and cooking the chicken, because his mind was not on his work, but what he was going to do after work. He could not wait for the work day to end.
Tennessee Ernie Ford & Minnie Pearl seemed just a bit nervous around that old time pressure fryer. Maybe they had a bad run in with pressure cookers in the past. lol But truthfully modern pressure cookers are much safer now days. Pressure cooking really makes a difference in not only cook time but any spices you add to it get infused evenly into the dish. There really amazing!
Wow, that was neat to watch. I am glad I came across this video. :)
nice honey
classic..
Great Video....just wonder why he doesn't say he's from Henryille Indiana
I always wish I could have tried some of the Colonel's "Original" fried chicken because I feel like KFC has really went downhill the past few decades. It's not even as good now as it was when I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s...Probably has to do with all the damn hormones and God knows what else they feed or do to those poor chickens.
Its fake chicken
+TheOldOakSyndicate Same! I tried it again after many years and noticed something was just....off. It's really sad.
+TheOldOakSyndicate the original fried chicken was so good that I cannot stand what they produce today. Better chicken, better cooking, better everything!
My thoughts exactly
I think it's even more because it's not fresh at all ... It's all premade
Hmm, served in the Span-Am War...I don't think so Tennessee Ernie! Col. Sanders was apparently born in 1890...the Span Am was a 4 month conflict in 1898, which would've made the Colonel a young trooper indeed! Somebody didn't check their facts. A check of Wikipedia says he served as a teamster in Cuba in 1906...well after the war's completion.
Those were better days in most respects.
I'll bet you all anything that "hydrogenated" vegetable oil was not the Colonel's original oil of choice when he was selling this independently...He most likely used lard..."hydrogenated" oil is basically liquid plastic.
+TheOldOakSyndicate But would it have work in the pressure cooker?? That is what I'm wondering,hmmm??
Hydrogenated vegtable oil... in THOSE days?!?! Why not use Lard?!?!?!
Oh! Lard was one of the 'secret' ingredients!
Hydrogenated vegetable oil--that's shortening.
hydrogenated vegetable oil is cheaper.. the bad point of hydrogenated vegetable oil is that it contains transfats the shit that causes artery blockages and heart attacks
animal fat is healthier than hydrogenated vegetable oil.. animal fat doesn't contain trans fats and it tastes better... use animal fat.. much better health wise and taste wise
ff8123 never too early to start the cancer train
+Sean B And what about the cancer-causing pesticides on fruits and vegetables? To me, it is a matter of "pick your poison".
it takes 20 mins to cook now lol
Loving the health and safety.He plonks that pan right on the edge of the fryer,an accident waiting to happen,,,,
Im sorry please forgive me
Colonel Sanders could not have served in the Spanish-American war. He was born in 1890... the Spanish American War was in 1898 only. He would have been at most, eight years old at the time of said war.
*****
HA! Unfortunatly, true! I really like your Great Uncle's chicken BTW!!
They had kids in the war. Who knows if he was though.
And KFC moves away and away from serving actual chicken to those fake strips, nuggets, and God knows what else.
***** Not to mention the hormone infested chicken that causes female toddlers to grow breast.
Only after Pepsi bought them and ruined them, just like they did with Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
I agree.
*****, no, their food is still real. It's real chicken.
He could not have fought in the Spanish-American war...... he was only 8 years old when it was going on.
They did have kids in it. Used them for everything. Who knows if he was.
+Garr1984 Yea I thought the same thing. lol
+Garr1984 he enlisted in 1906 and was stationed on Cuba as a teamster he was honorably discharged in 1907
You are right, but he did serve in Cuba in 1906.
+Ryan Smith Yeah. He was only in the army for 1 year, and then honorably discharged.
Those finger lickin' chickens were all shot up with growth hormones...
God KFC chicken is so disgusting today. What the hell happened? And who the hell is eating it and keeping them in business?
Once in a while its ok
Eleven herbs and spices my ass.
A dream and a welfare check. lol
Ironic that KFC was started with a welfare check and now it's primarily supported by welfare checks. Just kidding.
