I only found this forum recently, mainly thanks to stumbling across Anthony Sanders, CHS's great3-nephew, on TikTok. He's the grandson of Ed Sanders (who previously had a thread about him), and he's provided plenty of proof that he's legit, both on his social media channels and the fact that he appears in the WTSP interview in 2017.
His Twitter: twitter.com/OfficialColSand
His TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@realcolonelsanders/
Most of his content is memes, shilling Lee's Famous Recipe to spite KFC corporate, and responding to the same few questions people keep spamming (usually "Are you really related to CHS?" "What the hell is a Kentucky Colonel?" "Did CHS steal the OR from [x]?" and "When will you share the OR?").However, he's definitely posted some very informative content as well.
His OR Research and 99-X
Anthony claims that he has successfully cracked the code on the OR—not the exact ratios, but he says he's dead-set on the ingredients in it.
branch of the family are in possession of an original bag of 1970s Marion-Kay 99-X, pre-KFC lawsuit. You see Ed show it off briefly in the WTSP interview, and Anthony shows it off even more on his social media. He claims with absolute confidence that sage, allspice, and red pepper (presumably cayenne) are part of the OR, citing the label on the 99-X bag as proof:
Beyond that, he claims that he's been able to pick out some other spices through tasting it. The rest of his information is rounded out with interviews with family members, and court records from the three following cases:
[Side note- has anyone been able to actually get ahold of the text of the '68 lawsuit's ruling? Allegedly it specifies which spices Lee's was not allowed to use in their spice blend. Anthony said he hasn't found the full court documents yet. If anyone's willing to look, it was 1968, US District Court for the District of Northern Ohio (based in Toledo), Judge Frank Kloeb. Don't know a specific case #.]
He also claims that salt, black/white pepper, and MSG do not count toward the 11 because they were always listed on ingredient lists back when CHS still owned the business.
On December 12th, he tweeted that the 4th spice in the OR, based on tasting his 99-X bag, is cloves.
His Trolling
Now, Anthony also has an impish sense of humor, and sometimes decides to mess with all the people clamoring for him to release the OR in its entirety.
He's previously released several videos with fake recipes, but since deleted them. On December 13th, he posted this image to his Twitter and TikTok claiming it's the full OR:
However, he said less than a day later that it was indeed a fake recipe:
Funnily enough, even as jokes, all of his ingredients are plausible—all of them have threads on this forum, after all.
As for the cloves claim, he specified in a TikTok comment that it wasn't part of the troll:
Arguing with Other Claimants
Besides talking about his own findings, Anthony devotes a good chunk of his social media pages to decrying those he sees as falsely claiming to have the OR. Key claims include:

My uncles Recipe was always meant to be a secret, & it always will be, the 3 ingredients allspice sage and Red Pepper are factually in it & you can confirm this through research but you all were due for a good Rick roll I’d never actually reveal all 11 as much as I despise @kfc
As for the cloves claim, he specified in a TikTok comment that it wasn't part of the troll:
The three ingredients I released is for a fact in it, Cloves I taste, the rest are a Rick roll it’s still a secret 🤡

Besides talking about his own findings, Anthony devotes a good chunk of his social media pages to decrying those he sees as falsely claiming to have the OR. Key claims include:
- CHS did not pass the recipe down as an heirloom or family secret to any of his descendants
- Joe Ledington's claimed timeline (e.g., how he helped mix the spice blend as a kid) doesn't add up with the facts of CHS's life
- Besides, Joe's recipe doesn't have sage, allspice, and red pepper in it
- The Settles family just uses 99-X at Claudia Sanders' Chicken House; if they have the OR, they aren't serving it
