Who needs KFC? Here's 7 Liverpool restaurants serving up kickin' chicken

As almost half of the 900 national KFC stores remain closed for another day, we’re getting our chicken fix elsewhere.

It looks like hundreds of KFC stores are set to stay ‘shutters-down’ for the rest of this week as the company resolves issues with it’s chicken delivery service, and as Scousers get fed up travelling far and wide in search of the Colonel’s special recipe-filled buckets, we’re getting hangry. The official line from KFC states: “Sorry we’re closed. We delivery our chicken fresh into our restaurants, but we’ve had a few hiccups with our deliveries today. We wouldn’t want to open without offering our full menu, but we’ll be back at the fryer as soon as we can.”

Are you ok hun? Are you craving the taste of that special recipe, southern fried chicken? Well fear not because despite there being a mad shortage of KFC, Liverpool is the place to be to get your hands on tender drumsticks, buttermilk breast strips and juicy thighs (we’re still talking about chicken).
