KFC Fried Chicken Bucket

KFC, also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is a global fast-food brand synonymous with its secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices. Founding in Kentucky, USA, the brand has evolved from a roadside restaurant into a global powerhouse in the fried chicken market.

While the brand's recipes and branding are strictly controlled by its global headquarters, the physical manufacturing of the product happens at the local level. The chicken is sourced from domestic poultry suppliers in each country of operation, and cooked on-site at local restaurant franchised or corporate locations.

KFC is owned by Yum! Brands, Inc., which is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. Yum! Brands is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange and is one of the world's largest restaurant companies, also managing other iconic brands like Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
