3 Reasons Why Colonel Sanders Hated His Own Creation KFC

Colonel Sanders has been the face of Kentucky Fried Chicken since he first developed it over 50 years ago. The Colonel’s original chicken recipe was nothing less than brilliant.

1. The Colonel's Gravy Recipe Was Too Complex

Even one of Kentucky Friend Chicken’s own executives once said, “Let’s face it the Colonel’s gravy was fantastic but you had to be a Rhodes Scholar to cook it.”

2. The Colonel Was A Perfectionist

Anyone who knew the Colonel would agree that he had a real flair for perfection. It was not uncommon for him to randomly walk into one of the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants to make sure that everything was up to his standards.

3. The Colonel Began To Hate The Food At KFC

Although Kentucky Fried Chicken was on the rise, the quality of their food began to slumber. This is the reason that the Colonel went on the record stating that the gravy was like “sludge” with the consistency of “wallpaper paste.”
