Fun fact: A copy of the secret recipe, signed by Sanders, is held in a safe inside a vault in KFC's Louisville headquarters, along with 11 vials containing the herbs and spices.
To maintain the secrecy of the recipe, half of it is produced by Griffith Laboratories before it is given to McCormick, who add the second half.
Edit: just turned this into a TIL. Also, that link gives what some people claim to be the actual recipe for anyone interested in trying it out.
