If You Like
Fried Chicken,
This Is Why

about kfc


We make fried chicken—heck, we practically
invented it. If they ever make a food hall of
fame, our chicken is gonna be a first-ballot
inductee.

We Make it the
Hard Way

See what goes into making our world famous fried chicken.
THE MAN,
THE MYTH,
THE LEGEND

IN THE BEGINING

It all began with the man, the myth, the legend himself. In
1930, in a humble service station in Corbin, Kentucky, 40-
year old Harland Sanders began feeding hungry travellers.
Sanders spent the next nine years (now that's dedication)
perfecting his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, as well
as the basic cooking technique we still use today. There
are now over 24,000 KFC outlets in more than 145
countries and territories around the world.


Times change but values don’t. And just like the
Colonel, we know that nothing beats the value of
hard work. It’s what goes into every good old
fashioned meal we make. It’s also why, after more
than 90 years, folks all over the world keep coming
back for more.

WHAT MADE US GREAT IS STILL
WHAT MAKES US GREAT

KFC Corporation, based in Louisville, Kentucky, is one of
the few brands in America that can boast a rich, decades-
long history of success and innovation. We’re at over
24,000 KFC outlets and more than 145 countries and
territories around the world. And you know what? There’s
still a cook in a kitchen in every last one of them, freshly
preparing delicious, complete family meals at affordable
prices.
