The popular fried chicken restaurant chain KFC has announced plans to significantly increase its reliance on domestically-raised poultry through a major financial commitment to British farming operations.
The fast-food giant revealed it will invest an additional £10 million into the poultry industry, bringing the company’s total financial commitment to nearly £100 million. This investment strategy aims to ensure that by late 2026, more than one-third of all chicken used in KFC locations across the United Kingdom and Ireland will come from British farm operations.
As part of this expanded sourcing initiative, the restaurant chain plans to incorporate chicken wings into its British supply chain operations, marking a significant shift in the company’s procurement strategy.
