KFC: The Home of Chicken

Kentucky Fried Chicken, commonly known as KFC, is a fast-food chain from the USA offering a variety of chicken-based meals. It is very popular in the UK, and many outdoor shopping centres and retail outlets have one among other fast-food places. Many of the restaurants in these locations have a drive-thru facility, while central town locations feature an ordering station—some modern ones have electronic ordering screens. Some of the most popular items from the menu include family bucket meals, popcorn chicken, hot 'n' spicy pieces, fries, snack packs, Twister wraps, and desserts. They are famed for their southern fried chicken, which has a crispy crumb and features across the whole menu. They now operate over 25,000 stores in more than 145 countries. In recent years, they temporarily changed their slogan from "Finger Lickin' Good" to "So Good" but have since reinstated the original slogan.

KFC Opening Times and Store Locations

KFC opening times can vary between locations, but the differences don't differ too significantly. They typically open between 10 am and 11 am and close between 10 pm and midnight. There are also a number of 24-hour stores that offer their chicken around the clock. Some of these locations remain open on New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas, Boxing Day, and bank holidays, depending on the store's location and the country it is operating in.

It is easy to identify one of their stores, whether approaching on foot or by car. You will notice the outline of the cheerful face of Colonel Sanders—the man behind the eleven secret herbs and spices. This logo is depicted in a combination of red and white colours, which is also applied to the rest of the company's branding.

You will find them in most food courts, motorway service stations, transport hubs, and many locations within major city and town centres. The chain is present in over 145 countries. Wherever you are in the world, you are likely to find one nearby, with the exception of a handful of countries. They are also expanding their drive-thru options, including locations where the drive-thru is the only on-site offering, with no in-store seating.

Products and Services

They have an expansive menu for customers to dine in or take away. Most restaurants also offer a drive-through service where customers can order from their cars. They run two different selections of menus: a menu for one and a menu for sharing.

Popular items on their sharing menu include buckets of chicken, shared meals with various numbers of chicken pieces, burgers, drinks, fries, sides, and even kids' sharing meals. The menu for one resembles the sharing menu but in smaller quantities. One popular option on the menu for one is the boxed meals, which include a drink, fries, pieces of chicken, a chicken burger, and a side of your choosing.

A Brief History

The company was formed by Harland Sanders, who was born in Indiana but spent much of his life in Kentucky. His mother taught him how to cook as a child after his father’s passing in 1897.

He started making meals for travellers and expanded from a small filling station to his own restaurant and then his own food court. After continued recognition for making delicious food, he was commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel in 1935. He perfected his method of pressure frying chicken, which reduced cooking time and preserved flavour.

The years that followed meant more expansion and worldwide success. The chain still remains one of the biggest fast-food names for chicken lovers. Their biggest competition remains within the USA with the likes of Chick-fil-A operating a number of chicken outlets.
