Kentucky Fried Chicken or KFC opened its first franchise chain in 1952 and has since grown to become one of the leading fast-food restaurants in the world.
KFC has become a household name for fried chicken, and currently has more than 22,600 locations in over 136 countries. Considering there are only 195 countries in the world, it is safe to say that KFC is big.
It started as a roadside restaurant (Sanders Court & Cafe) selling fried chicken by Colonel Harland Sanders. It is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands who also own Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. The secret recipe boasts of 11 herbs and spices and this remains a notable trade secret even today. By establishing KFC has a fast-food restaurant, Sanders had to go against the already established hamburgers and did so successfully. As of today, KFC is second only to McDonald’s.

KFC Review
KFC has a corner in every meat-lovers heart, and for good reason. Every trip to the fast-food joint brings back childhood memories and puts a smile on anyone who walks through their doors.
The whiff of fried chicken that welcomes you as you enter is to-die-for. Although the menu has expanded significantly over the years, their bucket of fried chicken remains the most popular item on their list. The chicken still tastes “Finger-Lickin’ Good” and the other dishes and dips complement their main dish very well. The Zinger burgers and the combo meals also sell like hotcakes.
Another item that has become a crowd favorite is the spicy fries that sells by the truckload every single day. The KFC salads aim to add a healthy spin to the entire conversation, and the reception has been only positive. Wash everything down with a glass of cold Coke, and you’re good to go. Every meal at KFC is satisfying, and its success as one of the leading fast-food joints in the world is easily justified.
