The following year Sanders expanded the restaurant to 142 seats , and also added a motel he bought across the street . When Sanders prepares original chicken restaurant in North Corbin , he presents a chicken in an iron skillet , which took about 30 minutes to cook ( but too long for a restaurant operation ) In 1939 , Sanders changed the cooking process for the fried chicken to use Pressure frying , so cooking time is greatly reduced compared to fried . not only do the increased speed of production , but the resulting method flakier , moisturizing chicken . Between 1939 and 1940 Sanders designing what became known as the Original Recipe , from 11 herbs and spices . In 1940 he completed what became known as his Original Recipe 11 herbs and spices . Sanders admitted the use of salt and pepper in the recipe , and claims that the materials used " stand on everybody 's shelf " . After recommissioned ( new commission ) as a Kentucky Colonel in 1950 by Governor Lawrence Wetherby , Sanders began dressing and growing part of his trademark beard , wearing a black skirt coat ( later switched to white suit ) and referred to himself as " Colonel "

The Sanders Court & Café generally served to tourists , which they often toward Florida , so when guests pass pass routes in 1950 , eventually turns into Interstate 75 passes Corbin , he sold the property and traveled to the U.S. to sell chicken to restaurant owners . who first offered his friend Pete Harman is living in South Salt Lake , Utah , the operator of one of the largest restaurants in the city . together , they opened the " Kentucky Fried Chicken " first in 1952 . restaurant sales in the first year benefited more than tripled , with 75 % percent of the increase in sales of fried chicken ( For Harman ) the addition of fried chicken is the way to distinguish the restaurant from its competitors . The Utah product is call Kentucky a unique name , which makes it look special. A painter hired by Harman coined the name " Kentucky Fried Chicken "

Harman first company to produce training manuals and product guides . he also makes the company slogan became " It's finger lickin ' good" . hamman 1957 was also the first time makes the idea of ​​selling 14 pieces of chicken , five rolls and a pint of sauce in a complete meal Dengah price of $ 3.50. he also took the project as an aid to Sanders , who has been called on behalf of the Denver franchisee , who did not know what to do with 500 buckets that he bought from the street vendors .

At Harman sold his first meal , the restaurant chain is no more than a network of independent restaurants that are paid cents per order for " secret blend of herbs and spices " Sanders and the right to its . chicken recipes on their menus and use his name , also for promotional purposes . Popularity food finally to make it worth her ​​independent KFC restaurant opened , according to Harman , " to give you enough volume to justify the manager and pay overhead costs ( Operating Expenses Business ) " Free Standing store causes a faster growth rate than the chain restaurants because surgery operation specifically proved much easier to sell to prospective franchisees .

A franchisee started from 1962 , is Dave Thomas , who created it , which is then used rotating sign at most KFC locations in the United States . Thomas encourages Sanders KFC appearing in television commercials helped to simplify the chain restaurant menu items to more than 100 just fried chicken and salads .

Massey Sanders went to the office and make a written offer . Sanders saw it , opening drawers , reading horoscopes , and agreed to sell it . Sanders seems to be disappointed with the deal told the Washington Post . " I do not like some of the things that John Y. it does , to me Let the record speak for itself . He was very over- persuaded me to come out " .

Give all their restaurants pattern of red and white stripes of different colors , the group opened more than 1,500 restaurants , including locations in all 50 U.S. states and several international locations . The concept caught it the best . most people have ever tasted and took a dish that has become Sunday dinner , treats and making it one of the daily staple . Massey and Sanders do not like each other and get angry when Colonel Massey stated that the company's headquarters will be in nashville , Tennessee and not in Kentucky .

He shouted , " It's Fried Chicken in Tennessee no shit! no matter there are several " John Y. Brown did not like the idea either , but Massey has 60 percent of the company 's and Brown's 40 percent .
