If you feel like chicken tonight....

....Be prepared that your local KFC store may be closed, is having supply issues and having to close practically every store in the UK due to delivery issues.

KFC has had to shut most of its restaurants across the UK and Ireland after "teething problems" with a new delivery contractor meant it ran out of chicken.

The fast food chain said it was "working flat out" to reopen stores after there were issues with deliveries on Friday and over the weekend.

Its problems appeared to have deepened on Monday as an update on its website listed just over 80 UK and Ireland restaurants, out of a total of 900, that were open at midday.

That number had grown to almost 300 later in the afternoon.

On Sunday night 270 branches were open.

A spokesman said it was "too early to say" how long it would take to reopen those that had been closed.

The chain also said that where possible, staff would be "redeployed onto alternative tasks or to other restaurants that remain open".

Don't touch the stuff as we much prefer our own cooking.

Many years ago I popped into a KFC on New Years eve. All they had was diet coke (it was quite late) but quite how they ran out of chicken but still stayed open still amazes me. :shocked:

Cheese on top or tuna and mayonnaise are lovely toppings.:drool::drool:

Do you eat the skin too?

I do, best part, just wash, bake, smother it with butter, cheese and coleslaw. Best when it’s baked to a crunchy state.

Absolutely Mick as that is my favourite part of it although some in the family don't think so.

My local KFC is shut, so I’m told.

If it was actually coated and cooked on the premises they could send a YTS round to Sainsbury's to pick up a job lot of drumsticks. Tells you all you need to know why it's not good for you.

Yes, but you have to ask why it wants to cross the road... :D

KFC, you had one job....

I rarely eat KFC but there have been two times in the last 5 years I have gone in to a KFC and they have told me they have run out of chicken.

This time they changed delivery company so are blaming teething problems. Could have been worse, they could have chosen Yodel or Hermes instead of DHL :PP:
