There’s nothing like Kentucky Fried Chicken — and yes, we’re talking about *the* Kentucky Fried Chicken. Because while you may know the ubiquitous, finger-lickin’ poultry as your go-to dinner spot or road trip treat, this culinary legend got its start in Corbin, Kentucky, decades ago. KFC’s original fried chicken recipe was invented in a humble kitchen in Central Kentucky, and while the restaurant has since been franchised and exists all across the country, you can grab a bucket of the good stuff from the *original* Kentucky Fried Chicken in Corbin.
