Sanders himself hated what the Corporation he sold his product to did to his chicken... but he had no problem cashing the check.
“but he had no problem cashing the check.”
He’d have been stupid not to. LOL

Corporations are evil, they just destroy everything good.
I suspect that when Pepsie took over the KfC franchise, they dropped the pressure cooker method of frying the chicken. Originally lard was used to deep fry the famous chicken. The use of “healthier oil” was the largest factor in the loss of the original taste. Some of the KFC chicken recipe changes include.
The addition of brining the Original Recipe Chicken in the 1980s
Less salt than previous recipes
Smaller amounts of the 11 herbs and spices
Addition of MSG
The original KFC was fried in pressure cookers. In later years the traditional deep fryers was used and the change in cooking method changed the flavor profile. When they altered the recipe by using smaller amounts of spices to save money, there was a loss of the original delicious taste.
