KFC is the most popular chicken fast food restaurant chain in the world, specializing in their same original recipe.

This international fast food chain is also known for their 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.

KFC History

KFC (also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken) 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.

      Hi Faye, KFC may not be the best choice for you since they do not have separate fryers for gluten free and non gluten breaded items. If you have no other options your best bet is to get a salad and one of the side dishes to avoid gluten. I wish I had more options for you. Check out the other gluten free menu guides to see restaurants that have more options for gluten free. Thank you for your comment!
