The winning formula at KFC is not only their much-coveted 11 secret herbs and spices recipe, but the fact that they believe fresh tastes best. To that end, KFC carefully sources fresh and tasty ingredients from local suppliers (like their chicken which comes from Inghams and Tegel), then prepares and cooks it all to perfection at each store, so the customer gets a great tasting meal every time they visit KFC.
