So he thought about what he had to offer. His friends raved about his chicken recipe. He decided that this was his best shot at making a change.

Sanders worked a number of jobs, such as a steam engine stoker, filling station operator and an insurance salesman, but it wasn’t until his time running his restaurant in Kentucky that he made what would make him famous. While there, he developed his secret recipe and method of cooking chicken – he was the one who brought to the world  a new world – the world of KFC
