At KFC we pride ourselves on using quality chicken and local ingredients from trusted suppliers.
KFC landed in Australia in 1968 when the first store was opened in Guildford, Sydney NSW.

Today KFC serves 2 million customers every week (that's a lot of chicken) through over 600 stores across Australia. This makes KFC one of the largest fast food chains in the country.

We are passionate about serving our customers freshly prepared, great tasting food with a key part of this being The Colonel's signature blend of 11 herbs and spices. Even today these remain a secret with the original recipe under lock and key in our headquarters in Kentucky, USA.


In 1930, in a humble service station in Corbin, Kentucky, 40-year old Harland Sanders began cooking for hungry travellers who stopped by for gas, serving them his southern-style fried chicken from his very own kitchen table. As word spread and Sanders' fame began to grow people started travelling from far and wide just for a taste of his food. Sanders spent the next nine years perfecting his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, and the basic cooking technique that's still used today.

In 2014, there are more than 18,000 KFC outlets in 115 countries and territories around the world.



The first KFC store in Australia opened in 1968 in Guildford, NSW employing 25 people.

Today, KFC has grown to more than 612 stores across the country.
