There was a brief blurb in my regional newspaper that said
"NEW YORK (AP) ¡X Has Colonel Sanders' nephew inadvertently revealed
to the world the secret blend of 11 herbs and spices behind KFC's fried
chicken empire?
The company says the recipe published in the Chicago Tribune is not
authentic. But that hasn't stopped rampant online speculation that one
of the most legendary and closely guarded secrets in the history of fast
food has been exposed."

Hmmm... seems the recipe is still a secret . . . not that it matters
much since there are other places with much better fried chicken than
KFC. Of course, YMMV.
