We’ve got good news for Brits desperate for a taste of KFC’s finger lickin’ good chicken.
The chain has announced it is opening 80 more restaurants for delivery by the start of next week.
The new openings will take the total number of KFC restaurants open to 100.
It comes after the chain closed all stores when Boris Johnson’s lockdown came into force in in mid-March.
“Update from The Colonel… by Monday May 4th we’ll have reopened 100 of our restaurants in the UK for delivery,” the KFC website states.

It added: “We’re reopening our restaurants in a responsible way, with stringent processes and hygiene measures in place. We’ll be serving a limited menu to help the smaller kitchen teams maintain social distancing.”
Delivery only
Chicken lovers can order from KFC partners Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat.
Restaurants in Manchester, Glasgow, London, Kent and Birmingham are among those opening.
Fans of the chain were pretty excited to hear the news.
