Lots of food shops have a 'secret recipe', and one of the most famous is the one used to make KFC's fried chicken.
There's a secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, and it might have been shared with everyone, so we can make our own!
We can't be certain, but someone spoke to the Chicago Tribune to meet Colonel Sanders' nephew, Joe Ledington. While they were looking through some old photos and whatnot, there was a handwritten list of 11 spices.
The note was written by Claudia, Colonel Sanders' second wife.
The Chicago Tribute have a photo of the recipe, which we can't really swipe off them without getting in trouble, so you can click here and see it in their gallery.
We can however, copy the words from it.
