Our story
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.
The man, the myth, the legend
In the beginning
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.
Since 1930
Times change, values don’t
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.
