Decades old "finger-licking good" confidential secrets of COL. SANDERS revealed has PAULA DEEN shivering!
On yellowed pages hidden for decades, Col. Harlan Sanders who founded Kentucky Fried Chicken saw the future in yet another market – celebrity food books.
An unpublished manuscript written by KFC kingpin revealed that while The Colonel built his chicken into a global brand enjoyed by billions, he was recording his life and love of food – and recipes – for the world.
Yet, Col. Sanders' secret mix of 11 herbs and spices of THAT recipe remains deep in a secret vault.
"This is a new kind of book," Sanders wrote during the 1960s in the first chapter of his then-innovative 200-page, typewritten pages.
"There's never been another written like it as far as I know.
"It's the story of a man's life and the story of the food he's cooked and eaten, running right along with it."
The half-inch-thick document is chock full of homespun life lessons from Sanders, who struck it rich late in life with a heaping helping of his fave rave recipes.
"To me, my recipes are priceless," he wrote.
KFC executives told The ENQUIRER that his infamous secret blend of herbs and spices, one of the most enduring corporate secrets in food folklore, along with Coca-Cola’s secret recipe (less the cocaine), isn't revealed in the manuscript.
KFC plans to offer the cookery confidential on their website, insiders said.
