The original recipe for KFC’s Colonel Sanders chicken was created in the 1940s. The original recipe called for a mix of white and dark meat, which gave the chicken a slightly different flavor. However, in the 1990s, KFC began using only white meat in their chicken products in an effort to improve their image.
This change in recipe caused some consumers to criticize the chain for not using more sustainable methods. In 2015, KFC reintroduced the original recipe with a focus on sustainable farming practices.
