Bengaluru, September 2, 2024: Crispy. Crunchy. Finger Lickin’ Good. With Taste you can Trust.
For almost three decades since the first KFC restaurant opened in Bengaluru, KFC has been delighting chicken lovers with its crave-worthy food, and steadfast commitment to food safety and quality. The brand follows meticulous processes and stringent hygiene standards, to serve India’s Tastiest Chicken from India’s Most Trusted Restaurant Brand*.
The KFC kitchen is where the magic happens. Every day, skilled chefs follow a rigorous, multistep process to freshly prepare chicken that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
The journey of creating KFC’s signature crispy chicken starts with high-quality ingredients, and fresh chicken is at the core of this process. In India, KFC sources 100% real whole muscle chicken from reputed suppliers who meet international safety standards, and it undergoes 34 rigorous checks from the suppliers’ farm to the consumers’ plate.
The chicken at KFC goes through a process of marinating, breading, and frying using specialized equipment. A specific method is deployed where each piece of chicken is hand-breaded and rocked seven times before being cooked at a minimum of 170°C to achieve that perfect KFC taste.
KFC follows international cooking standards, uses FSSAI approved ingredients, and follows FSSAI guidelines-based processes. All food items have an expiry timeline and are off the shelf the second they move past their set consumption time. Every KFC restaurant follows a strict cleaning and sanitation program, which includes a wash-rinse-sanitize process for all food contact surfaces.
All vegetarian and non-vegetarian offerings are prepared separately – everything right from the oil, utensils and ingredients are segregated. Even the people working in the vegetarian section wear green aprons vis-à-vis the red that is sported by those in the non-veg section.
KFC is committed to transparency, quality, and the highest standards of food safety. The brand currently operates 1100+ restaurants across India across 240+ cities. Bengaluru ranks amongst the top cities with the highest number of KFC restaurants in a city, with the city’s 100th KFC having recently opened at Commercial Street.
