WELCOME TO KFC.

HOME OF THE REAL ONES.



We sell the world's best chicken. We've done it for a long old time -- since 1939, when the idea of finger lickin' good chicken popped into our Colonel's head. Now, we proudly serve 1000+ communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride and iconic reputation that started in Kentucky all those years ago.



People who are original. Individual. Fresh. We come to work to be ourselves, and to make something of ourselves. We bring the graft and the laughs every day -- building our own community, as we serve our original recipe chicken to the ones we're in.



In our place, ambition grows. Careers build. Potential goes further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere.



If you join our team, we only ask one thing. That you be you.



Because that makes us, us.
