Colonel Harland David Sanders (September 9, 1890 – December 16, 1980) was an American businessman who co-founded Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). He became active in franchising his chicken business at the age of 65. Today, the business has grown into one of the largest fast food systems in the world. But before reaping his success, for nine years, Colonel Sanders tried to perfect the method of cooking chicken using eleven herbs and spices as they are known today. With this recipe, chicken meat becomes very tender, crunchy, and tasty. He also uses a pressure cooker, which cooks chicken faster than a regular frying pan and improves its taste, so that today it is known as a fast food restaurant or fast food because of the speed at which the chicken cooks and its delicious taste. Colonel Sanders sold all of his properties in 1952 in order to travel from town to town and restaurant to restaurant offering his recipes.As a former chef, he believed that his recipes would be in demand by many restaurants and was willing to work with them to open a franchise business under his license. Unfortunately, more than 1,000 restaurants refused the recipe he offered, but he didn't give up and kept on going until he arrived at the 1,008th restaurant that wanted to buy his recipe, and then he developed a franchise business called KFC. Sanders died on December 16, 1980, due to complications from pneumonia and leukemia.
