You're wrong, Bryan. I mixed up the spice pack with the flour so many times
that summer. Those spice packs DID list what was on them but no
proportions. The spices were not secret (to us KFC employees), it was the
amount of each that was the secret recipe.

Also, the colonels recipe included frying the chicken in lard(?) in pressure
cookers for a very short time to retain lots of moisture. I don't think they
use those anymore and also they surely use a different oil.

I'm guessing with the lard. We had a big machine that filtered the used oil
after each cooking so we could use it again. After each batch, the amount
obviously got lower so once in awhile, we had to add some more. The extra
lard looking stuff came in big white blocks of grease that we would add to
melt and top it off.

Back then, they didn't offer biscuits either, it was always soft dinner
rolls. They should have stuck with them, imo.
