where did the name kentucky fried chicken come from
KFC Don Anderson, a sign painter hired by Harman, coined the name "Kentucky Fried Chicken".[21] For Harman, the addition of KFC was a way of differentiating his restaurant from competitors; a product from Kentucky was exotic, and evoked imagery of Southern hospitality.[21] Harman trademarked the phrase "It's finger lickin' good", which eventually became the company-wide slogan.[19] He also introduced the "bucket meal" in 1957 (14 pieces of chicken, five bread rolls and a pint of gravy in a cardboard bucket).[22] Serving their signature meal in a paper bucket was to become an iconic feature of the company.[22]
Kentucky In 1776, the counties of Virginia beyond the Appalachian Mountains became known as Kentucky County,[6] named for the Kentucky River.[citation needed] The precise etymology of the name is uncertain,[7] but likely based on an Iroquoian name meaning "(on) the meadow" or "(on) the prairie"[8][9] (cf. Mohawk kenhtà:ke, Seneca gëdá'geh (phonemic /kẽtaʔkeh/), "at the field").[10]
