FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky State Rep. Charles Siler is, according to this story, sponsoring legislation to assign the designation to KFC’s ‘finger lickin’ good’ chicken, Kentucky’s official picnic food, first served by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1940.
Siler said the late colonel’s fried chicken deserves the title because of the worldwide attention and economic benefit it has brought to the state.
Bruce Friedrich, vice president at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was quoted as saying, ‘If the state legislature moves forward with this one, then they should change Kentucky’s state bird from the cardinal to the debeaked, crippled, scalded, diseased, dead chicken.”
Two years ago, PETA launched an initiative to have a bust of the bespectacled Colonel Sanders removed from the Kentucky Capitol. Sanders, with his white goatee and black string tie, became recognizable worldwide by marketing his fried chicken.
