IN a bold and unexpected move that’s bound to shake up the fast food restaurant world, KFC Africa announced today that it will do what many thought impossible: reveal its iconic secret recipe.
Long wrapped in mystery, the recipe has become a cornerstone of the KFC brand - rumoured, reverse-engineered, and endlessly speculated about. From rival attempts to recreate it, to internet theories and viral debates, the question has always remained the same: what exactly is in KFC’s famous blend of herbs and spices?
Now, on Wednesday, October 8, the wait will be over.
“People have been asking us for years about our secret recipe,” said Grant Macpherson, Chief Marketing and Digital Officer at KFC Africa.
“They’ve guessed, begged, and even tried to replicate it. Now, we believe it’s time to let the world in. Transparency can only strengthen our connection with our customers and with South Africa.”
While the decision may seem risky, KFC is holding back the full story for the big reveal.
“There’s bound to be speculation about why we’re doing this, and why now,” Macpherson said, “Some may wonder if revealing the recipe will take away the magic that’s helped make us the leading quick-service brand in South Africa. We don’t believe that will happen. On October 8, everything will be explained,” said Macpherson.
Until then, the guessing game continues.
