Can't get enough of KFC? Here are 10 facts about the popular chain that you may not know.

Number 8 -- The original recipe for the fried chicken is mostly the same, since its creation in 1940. The only difference is the frying oil used today to eliminate trans fat.

Number 7 -- The first KFC didn't open in Kentucky as the name would imply. Instead the franchise debuted in Salt Lake City in 1952.

Number 3 -- After Sanders passed away in 1980, flags on every single Kentucky state building flew at half staff in his honor for four whole days.

Number 2 - Can't get to a KFC in your neighborhood. If you happen to be in China, you can actually get KFC delivered.
