KFC Kitchen Tour event.
With 345 restaurants in more than 80 cities across the country, KFC’s world-renowned and lip-smacking taste is the taste that you can truly trust. We obviously can’t reveal our chef’s secret recipes but we always encourage our customers to step into our kitchens where all the action takes place. You can walk into any of our kitchens anytime, meet our chefs and see for yourself how your favorite fried chicken is marinated with the most authentic spices, hand-breaded and freshly prepared with a lot of love.
So step into the world of KFC and see for yourself the effort and the quality in that plate of freshly prepared fingerlickin’ good food!
FRESHLY PREPARED BY OUR CHEFS
Welcome! Now that you’re here, our chefs will hand bread your chicken in fresh flour and those secret herbs and spices, and put it in the fryer or the oven within 2 minutes. Not because they're secretly auditioning for Masterchef, but because they are just making sure your chicken is as fresh as can be!
100% SAFE
We cook all our chicken products at a minimum 170 degrees Celsius and hold it at minimum of 60 degrees Celsius. This ensures 100% food safety at all times. Just to give you an example, water boiled at 100 degrees Celsius is considered safe at our homes. All our kitchen staff members wash and sanitise their hands every 30 minutes. Also, we use only RO water for cooking our food and for consumption.
VEG AND NON-VEG SEPARATION
At KFC, we maintain stringent standards to ensure that vegetarian and non-vegetarian offerings at the store are prepared separately. Everything from the oil, the utensils, all the ingredients to the staff preparing the food is segregated. We understand and respect the sentiments and beliefs of our vegetarian customers and make sure we meet their expectations.
TASTE GUARANTEE
We guarantee our signature fingerlickin’ good taste to all our customers. Should any of them feel it’s missing, we immediately replace the product, no questions asked.
PRODUCT CHAMPION
Our behind-the-scenes product champion ensures that all the food served at our restaurants is the best when it’s served with all our promises met: Temperature, shelf life, veg and non veg segregation and visual appeal, among other things.
TASTE MONITOR
Our taste monitor goes around the entire restaurant ensuring all the customers experience our fingerlickin’ good food and return satiated.
FOOD: REAL, FRESH & SOURCED FROM THE BEST
GRADE A, 100% REAL CHICKEN
It is said that if we were to take all the chicken eaten at KFC worldwide it can actually circle the earth 11 times around the equator. WOW, that would mean that our chicken is really, really good, wouldn't it?
Well, actually it is and you know why? Because it’s made from 100% real, farm-bred chicken. Call us picky or fussy but we won’t have it any other way.
When it comes to sourcing chicken, getting the highest quality is our top priority. Right from our suppliers’ farms to your plate, each piece of chicken goes through about 34 checks before you take that bite. And, of course, our chefs add authentic spices, fresh ingredients and a whole lot of love to our chicken.
AUTHENTIC INGREDIENTS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD
CHOCO DIVINE: ALL THE WAY FROM GHANA
It’s no coincidence that the scientific name for chocolate means, ‘food of the gods’. After all, it does taste heavenly!
And when we decided to add chocolate to our favorite Krushers, we knew it couldn’t just be any chocolate. So we didn’t blink an eyelid before traveling all the way to Ghana to get the best cocoa beans for it. Now you know where that taste of heaven in your Krushers comes from.
EXOTIC SPICES FROM THE WORLD’S SPICE CAPITAL KERALA
Vasco da Gama sailed across the world for these, but you just have to walk into the nearest KFC. We select only the most aromatic spices from the spice capital of the world - Kerala - to make sure your chicken has just the right amount of zing in it.
ALPHONSO MANGOES: FOR YOUR HIGHNESS ONLY!
The king of mangoes Alphonso is no ordinary mango. In fact, even the queen of England couldn’t resist its temptation it was especially shipped to London for the queen’s coronation from Mumbai’s Crawford market.
So when we decided to make our Alphonso Burst Krushers, we knew we just had to use real Alphonso mangoes. That’s why real chunks of only the freshest, juiciest, ripest Alphonso mangoes go into your Krushers and give it a taste like no other.
