The vast majority of Americans may not remember the days when KFC tasted like the original recipe, but those who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s certainly do. The original KFC recipe was a sweet and salty chicken dish that was popularized in the early days of fast food. However, over time, KFC changed their recipe to be more salty and less sweet.
This change in recipe may have been a result of the company’s efforts to appeal to a wider audience, but it has resulted in a dish that does not taste like the original. Furthermore, the use of artificial flavors and colors has likely contributed to the overall decline in the quality of KFC’s food.
