The secret to KFC’s chicken has been revealed as a Twitter user noticed that the fast food restaurant has a highly selective list of accounts it follows on the site.
.@KFC follows 11 people.
Those 11 people? 5 Spice Girls and 6 guys named Herb.
11 Herbs & Spices. I need time to process this.

The six men it follows include music legend Herb Alpert and Green Bay Packers cornerback, Herb Waters.
KFC has long promoted its chicken as the product of a secret recipe with “11 herbs and spices”.
The company said that it has been following the group of users for over a month.
You said you needed time. We're just giving you space. DM us when you're ready.

“Our vault was getting cleansed so I thought the best place to keep the secret recipe was on Twitter,” said KFC’s US digital marketing manager Bentley McBentleson in a statement.
“‘No one’s going to look at who we’re following!’ I thought. Boy was I wrong. I’ve made a huge mistake,” the manager said.
