Decline of KFC
KFC in Canada and the US don't taste as good nowadays. Please mention about how KFC invests only in foreign markets and forgot about North America. W. F. Irving (talk) 17:59, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you have a reliable source for the assertion that "KFC invests only in foreign markets and forgot about North America"? If not, nothing to that effect will be added to the article.  General Ization  Talk  18:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Well a lot of Wikipedia articles have opinions. Honestly that is some toxic gatekeeping. W. F. Irving (talk) 18:46, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, that is Wikipedia policy.  General Ization Talk  18:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Articles that have opinions are opinions based on reliable sources. Wikipedia policies/guidelines are the ultimate "gatekeepers", not editors. Stefen Towers among the rest!   Gab • Gruntwerk 23:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Firsts not present
Hello,

I was reading this article after learning my great grandpa opened the first KFC in the Chicago area, and Chicago.

My grandpa isn’t the sole reason, but rather I noticed something. Why don’t we have things documenting the first KFC’s in areas? Other fast food articles should as well in some bulleted list. IEditPolitics (talk) 22:56, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * That doesn't really seem like encyclopedic content as it would be likely seen as WP:EXCESSDETAIL. However, if there was a website somewhere that had such a list, it may be ok to link to that, subject to WP:EL. Stefen Towers among the rest!   Gab • Gruntwerk 23:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Perfect Chicken
KFC was one of the first American fast-food chains to expand internationally, opening outlets in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Jamaica by the mid-1960s. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, it experienced mixed fortunes domestically, as it went through a series of changes in corporate ownership with little or no experience in the restaurant business. In the early 1970s, KFC was sold to the spirits distributor Heublein, which was taken over by the R. J. Reynolds food and tobacco conglomerate; that company sold the chain to PepsiCo. The chain continued to expand overseas, however, and in 1987 it became the first Western restaurant chain to open in China. It has since expanded rapidly in China, which is now the company's single largest market. PepsiCo spun off its restaurants division as Tricon Global Restaurants, which later changed its name to Yum! Brands. KFC's original product is pressure-fried chicken pieces, seasoned with Sanders' signature recipe of "11 herbs and spices". The constituents of the recipe are a trade secret. Larger portions of fried chicken are served in a cardboard "bucket", which has become a feature of the chain since it was first introduced by franchisee Pete Harman in 1957. Since the early 1990s, KFC has expanded its menu to offer other chicken products such as chicken fillet sandwiches and wraps, as well as salads and side dishes such as French fries and coleslaw, desserts and soft drinks; the latter often supplied by PepsiCo. KFC is known for its slogans "It's Finger Lickin' Good!", "Nobody does chicken like KFC", "We do chicken right", and "So good". 105.168.203.15 (talk) 10:54, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
