About

Restaurant chain known for its buckets of fried chicken, plus combo meals & sides.

Go for the honey ginger sauce — it slurps. Chicken's made fresh here unlike in the States, and they've got menu items you won't find elsewhere, just don't visit past 10pm when the staff's on sloth mode.

I love the KFC here in Kenya. Chicken was made fresh unlike in the US and I also enjoyed the options they carried that are not available in the US. Great and helpful staff as well.
