About KFC

KFC is world famous for its Original Recipe® fried chicken -- made with the same secret blend of 11 herbs and spices Colonel Harland Sanders perfected more than a half-century ago. Every day, more than 12 million customers are served at KFC restaurants in 109 countries and territories around the world. In Zimbabwe, KFC has been serving delicious meals since 2014 and we are growing year on year to bring restaurants nationwide.

 In addition to becoming a Zimbabwe icon, KFC created meals specifically for Zimbabwe like Streetwise with Sadza.

The secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices was first developed in 1939. The same recipe is still used across the world today.

It really is a secret recipe, locked away in a vault in Louisville, Kentucky. Only a handful of people know the multi-million-dollar recipe and they have signed strict confidentiality contracts. Not even the spice companies that mix the secret blend of 11 herbs & spices know the complete recipe.

Colonel Sanders’ first meals were served to hungry travelers visiting his service station in Corbin, Kentucky in 1930. He didn’t have a restaurant but served meals at his own dining table in the living quarters of the Corbin service station.

Whether you're in a big city or a small town, KFC's chicken is freshly prepared in-store, following the same processes and quality standards to cook every meal, making sure you receive hot and deliciously fresh food every time.

Serving you great tasting chicken you know, and love is important to us, and we want you to enjoy the food and service you receive at any KFC you visit across South Africa.

All our food, from our salads to our chicken, is freshly prepared in-store to the highest standards, especially for you. Each piece of chicken is hand-breaded with the Colonel's famous secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices before cooking it to a specific time and ideal temperature in our kitchens.

To make sure we serve you quality meals from our kitchens, all our KFC restaurants across the country are audited annually to check that all the health and safety procedures are followed.

Not only are our restaurants audited, but so are our suppliers to make sure the safety guidelines are upheld and the chicken and ingredients we get are of the best quality for you.

Insert your text hereWe don't manage or run our own chicken farms. In fact, our chicken is sourced locally from the very same chicken farms that supply your favourite premium retailers.

As one of the largest buyers of chicken in the world, we have strict controls in place to make sure that our suppliers comply with global animal welfare standards and practices regarding the treatment of chickens.

We make it our responsibility to ensure the chickens we do source are treated humanely and within the animal rights legislation of the country.

All of our suppliers are also independently audited throughout the year, which helps us and our suppliers ensure that processes and standards are followed.

At KFC, we believe it's important to lead an active lifestyle and follow a balanced diet, so we want to make sure you know the nutritional value of our menu items.

It's important for you to make informed decisions about the food you eat. So we provide the nutritional information of all our menu items on our website and this information is also available at all our restaurants on request.

The suppliers we get our chicken from follow the accepted Halaal practices to cater for the large Muslim community in Zimbabwe.
