KFC, which stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken, is a fast food chain that sells fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, and other items. It is the world’s second-largest restaurant chain (after McDonald’s), with over 24,000 outlets in 145 countries and territories. KFC was founded in 1930 by Harland Sanders in Corbin, Kentucky. Sanders started selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant, and his business quickly became successful. In 1952, Sanders franchised his first restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah, and by the 1960s, KFC had become a national brand.

KFC’s signature dish is its Original Recipe fried chicken, which is made with a secret blend of 11 herbs and spices. The chicken is coated in a crispy batter and then fried in a pressure cooker. KFC also sells a variety of other chicken items, including sandwiches, wraps, and tenders. The chain also offers a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and biscuits.
