KFC History

KFC (also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken) is an international fast food chain that was founded by Harland Sanders in 1930. At the time, he was in the midst of a depression, but still mustered the courage to open his first local restaurant in a small gas station in Kentucky. During this time, the restaurant was known as Sanders Court & Café.

KFC is one of the few original American brands that showcases a rich tradition and history. Their success is partly attributed to a list of secret spices and herbs which were written on the back of Harland Sanders kitchen door more than 70 years ago. In 1936, Sanders’ restaurant began enjoying massive success, and by 1950, the Kentucky state governor named him colonel, the highest honor that a U.S. state can bestow upon a citizen.

KFC Today

Currently, KFC is the most popular chicken fast food restaurant chain in the world, specializing in their same original recipe, as well as other new options such as extra crispy chicken, chicken nuggets, French fries, buttermilk biscuits and homestyle sides. There are around 18,000 KFC locations in the world spread across 115 countries and territories. Despite opening so many locations globally, the company has still not compromised on its famous fried chicken recipe even for a second.

Common Questions Ordering Gluten Free At KFC

Is KFC popcorn chicken gluten-free?

If you have a gluten sensitivity unfortunately KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) is not the place to eat chicken. None of KFC’s chicken is gluten-free. You can, however, eat some of their side dishes and salads.

Why is KFC grilled chicken not gluten-free?

Fried chicken uses a wheat flour blend, and while KFC provides a few gluten-free alternatives, as so many restaurants are now due to the rising demand for gluten-free meals and sides, nearly all of KFC’s items have wheat or gluten ingredients in them. In other words, cross-contamination is a risk in an open kitchen environment for anyone who has a gluten allergy.

Are KFC fries gluten-free?

The fries themselves are gluten-free, but they’re cooked in the same frying oil that contains gluten. So if you have Coeliac disease your best bet is to avoid eating their fries because of the high risk of cross contamination.

Is KFC gravy gluten-free?

Unfortunately the gravy itself does contain gluten. However KFC’s mashed potatoes are signature and creamy. So the next time you order remember to skip the gravy and just get plain potatoes.
