I am an Accountant for the chicken plant that supplies KFC the chicken. I can tell you all you will never be able to reproduce it because we inject the chicken with marination first before it even gets breaded at the store. You cannot buy this.

I think the 11 herbs is a myth and that recipe has been pretty literal about having 11 herbs and spices. I remember reading somewhere about how some put the chicken into one of those CSI molecular analysers to work out the recipe and I turn out the 11 herbs and spices were only about 4.

There was a cookbook written a couple of years ago which gve load of these type of recipes.

The secret recipe

The Colonel's secret flavor recipe of 11 herbs and spices that creates the famous "finger lickin' good" chicken remains a trade secret.[13][14] Portions of the secret spice mix are made at different locations in the United States, and the only complete, handwritten copy of the recipe is kept in a vault in corporate headquarters.[15] On September 9, 2008, the one complete copy was temporarily moved to an undisclosed location under extremely tight security while KFC revamped the security at its headquarters. Before the move, KFC disclosed the following details about the recipe and its security arrangements:[16]

• The recipe, which includes exact amounts of each component, is written in pencil on a single sheet of notebook paper and signed by Sanders.
• The recipe was locked in a filing cabinet with two separate combination locks. The cabinet also included vials of each of the 11 herbs and spices used.
• Only two executives had access to the recipe at any one time. KFC refuses to disclose the names and titles of either executive.[17]
• One of the two executives said that no one had come close to guessing the contents of the secret recipe, and added that the actual recipe would include some surprises.

On February 9, 2009, the secret recipe returned to KFC's Louisville headquarters in a more secure, computerized vault.[18]
In 1983, writer William Poundstone examined the recipe in his book Big Secrets. He reviewed Sanders' patent application, and advertised in college newspapers for present or former employees willing to share their knowledge.[19] From the former he deduced that Sanders had diverged from other common fried-chicken recipes by varying the amount of oil used with the amount of chicken being cooked, and starting the cooking at a higher temperature (about 400 °F (200 °C)) for the first minute or so and then lowering it to 250 °F (120 °C) for the remainder of the cooking time. Several of Poundstone's contacts also provided samples of the seasoning mix, and a food lab found that it consisted solely of sugar, flour, salt, black pepper and monosodium glutamate (MSG). He concluded that it was entirely possible that, in the years since Sanders sold the chain, later owners had begun skimping on the recipe to save costs.[20][21][22] Following his buyout in 1964, Colonel Sanders himself expressed anger at such changes, saying, "That friggin' ... outfit .... They prostituted every goddamn thing I had. I had the greatest gravy in the world and those sons of bitches they dragged it out and extended it and wa*tered it down that I'm so goddamn mad."[21][22]
Ron Douglas, author of the book "America's Most Wanted Recipes," also claims to have figured out KFC's secret recipe.[23]

KFC is the ultimate drunk food imho. Pity the Rathmines one closes early now.
