KFC Full Menu & Prices | Updated For 2024 (2024)

There is something so quintessentially American about Southern fried chicken. For many people, this meal calls up memories of summer picnics, family dinners, and more. But if you don’t have the time or inclination to fry chicken yourself, you can always pick some up at a restaurant like KFC.KFC, or Kentucky Fried Chicken, is one of the oldest (and biggest) fast food chains in the United States. While its menu has changed over the years, it has stuck true to its core product: chicken coated with its original recipe of 11 herbs and spices and fried under pressure. This chicken can be purchased by the piece, or as part of a meal deal with sides like coleslaw, mashed potatoes, and biscuits.

One of the keys to KFC’s success has been its great marketing. The company is instantly recognizable with its red and white buckets, image of Colonel Sanders, and slogan. At Budget Branders, we know that the right marketing can make all of the difference. We offer a full range of high-quality promotional items, like custom-branded plastic cups and deli containers, to help you build a loyal following.

Get the Scoop: All About KFC

Kentucky Fried Chicken – now known as KFC – was founded in 1952 by Colonel Harland Sanders. Colonel Sanders originally sold fried chicken from a roadside restaurant in Kentucky during the Great Depression. In 1952, he opened what would become the first KFC franchise in Salt Lake City, Utah.Today, the restaurant that began as a humble roadside stand is now the second-largest restaurant chain in the world (after McDonald’s). It has 22,621 locations around the world, in 150 countries. The restaurant was among the first American fast-food chains to expand internationally, breaking ground in Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, and the United Kingdom in the mid-1960s. It was eventually purchased by PepsiCo, which spun off its restaurants into a subsidiary known as Yum! Brands.

KFC still sells its original product: pressure fried chicken with the original recipe of “11 herbs and spices.” The chicken is sold in the restaurant’s signature red and white striped bucket, which has become iconic. Its slogan – finger lickn’ good – has also become closely associated with the brand.

Despite his name, Colonel Sanders wasn’t actually a military veteran. Instead, he was given the honorary title of Kentucky Colonel by the state’s governor in 1936 due to the popularity of his business. By the 1950s, Colonel Sanders began to dress the part, growing a goatee and wearing a white suit with a black string tie. His image – like the red and white buckets and the KFC slogan – is easily recognized around the world.
