Who invented fried chicken that we eat today in fast food restaurants?
Answer:
- Colonel Harland David Sander started the fast food chicken business with KFC in 1952.
- I’d just like to say this is a fantastic question, and the origins of fried chicken go back for millennia. The traditional American form of fried chicken that we eat today has its origins in Scottish immigrants who brought their recipes when they arrived in the Southern United States. The popularity of this meal quickly spread and particularly became popular among the slaves who cooked the meals for these Scottish immigrants. These slaves then introduced spices and seasonings and vastly improved the taste and flavor of the dish, which made it into the traditional form of fried chicken that we have today. Colonel David Sander then established his fast food business KFC in 1952, and this only made the meal even more popular. Southern style fried chicken is now popular worldwide, especially in Japan, where Japanese families eat fried chicken, particularly Kentucky Fried Chicken, for Christmas dinner.
