CHICKEN SHORTAGE FOR KFC RESTAURANT SPARKS RAGE, CHICKEN CRISIS
There is a chicken shortage in the UK which is making people rage. Let’s get real: people love their fried chicken. The smell and taste of the crispiness of the exterior to the juicy meat, is something customers crave on their way home from work. But without fried chicken, some customers have had to get their chicken meals from other fast food sources, like Burger King. And we aren’t entirely sure, is that real chicken meat anyway? It’s still good, however they don’t specialize in chicken. It’s the home of the Whopper. But the disappointed fried chicken fans has prompted Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) to put out a pile of tongue-in-cheek advertisements to appease their angry customers. The ad campaign is clever and full of humor, in the hopes of comforting their customers in this chicken crisis.

A chicken restaurant without any chicken. It’s not ideal. Huge apologies to our customers, especially those who travelled out of their way to find we were closed. And endless thanks to our KFC team members and our franchise partners for working tirelessly to improve the situation.
