Ocean’s 14, I Have Your Plot!

Since its creation in the 50’s, Colonel Sanders’ 11 herbs and spices has become the Holy Grail for fast food franchise recipes. Most restaurant chains and soft drink companies have some sort of “secret”, but none are quite as mythical as the KFC’s chicken seasoning. This week to ensure the recipe’s safety, the company is upgrading security for their prized possession (apparently the National Recipe Theft Threat Level was raised from Grizzle to Chum). The uber-secret is being removed from KFC’s offices and transported to an undisclosed location with more security than a foreign dignitary travelling with a federally protected witness.

So what exactly are the herbs and spices that shaped fried chicken in the USA? Here’s my guess:

Celery Salt
Black Cumin
Sage
Black Pepper
Rosemary
Thyme
Bay Leaf
Moonshine
Blended Bowtie pieces
Cannibis
Granulated slave corpses
