It’s kind of our thing. Yet there are still people who believe we use anything less than real chicken, that we pump them full of chemicals, or even that we grow our chickens in a lab (seriously?). So, we’re setting the record straight with a little help from the folks who know best: the KFC chicken farmers of Canada.

We pledge that our chicken is as wholesome as it is delicious.

Our chickens are raised on trusted chicken farms across Canada and delivered fresh to KFC restaurants throughout the week.

Our chickens are raised without any added hormones or steroids. In fact, no chicken in Canada is treated with added hormones or steroids, as per Canadian standards.

Real KFC cooks prepare our Original Recipe Chicken from scratch in small batches throughout the day. This ensures our chicken is always fresh—just the way the Colonel wanted it.
