LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kentucky Fried
Chicken® announced today that its world-famous fried chicken is now
available for order and on-demand delivery through DoorDash, the
nation's leading last-mile logistics platform. To celebrate the new
partnership, KFC and DoorDash are offering fried chicken fans
across the U.S. an irresistible deal: Beginning today, September 8, through Thursday, September 17, customers will receive 12
free chicken tenders with the purchase of select KFC bucket meals
on orders placed through the DoorDash website or app with promo
code KFC12.*
To sweeten the deal, customers will also receive $0 delivery fees* alongside their select bucket
meal purchase, available from more than 3,000 KFC restaurant
locations through September 17.
Since 1952, KFC has helped families enjoy a bucket of fried
chicken practically anywhere, traveling easily while staying fresh
and ready-to-eat. Some might even say the bucket was made
for delivery, and this new partnership gives customers yet another
way to enjoy KFC wherever they want, courtesy of DoorDash.
"We are always looking for ways to make it easier for our
customers to get our world-famous fried chicken delivered right to
their table, hot and fresh," said Chris
Caldwell, chief technology officer, KFC U.S. "By partnering
with DoorDash, we're giving fried chicken fans more ways to feed
their cravings and offering one of our best limited-time
deals yet – 12 free chicken tenders with the purchase of select
bucket meals."
According to a recent survey from DoorDash, which polled 1,000
chicken-eaters nationwide,** 92 percent of respondents say fried
chicken is their go-to comfort food, so what better way to cozy up
and enjoy a night in than with KFC's world-famous fried
chicken? And with an extra 12 free tenders, you won't have to be a
part of the 54 percent of people who admitted to battling it out
for the last piece of chicken in the bucket.
"At a time when more people are enjoying their meals safely from
the comfort of their homes, DoorDash's geographic coverage made us
a great fit as KFC looked to expand their off-premise operations.
We are proud to be KFC's largest partner by coverage, serving
nearly 75 percent of their locations in the U.S.," said
Toby Espinosa, vice president of
business development at DoorDash. "43 percent of Americans say they
could eat more than ten chicken tenders in one sitting, which is
why we are excited to kick off the partnership in a big way with 12
tenders added to their bucket meals. We hope our customers will
have even more reason to gather around the table with their
families and friends and their favorite bucket and sides."
For a limited time, all KFC locations will also be included in
DashPass, DoorDash's subscription program. DashPass offers its
members unlimited $0 delivery fees on
orders of $12 or more to select
DoorDash merchants.
