By 1994 KFC had 5,149 outlets in the US and 9,407 overall, with over 100,000 employees.

As of August 2018, actor Jason Alexander and professional strongman and actor Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson both portray Colonel Sanders. In early 2019, Peter Weller portrayed a RoboCop version of Colonel Sanders.

Heat that packs a punch But the Colonel makes it in-house, resulting in a juicier and crunchier fillet. The classic KFC breading is present, with all the myriad spices and herbs. It's hard to beat. The crispness is incredibly satisfying, but the chicken itself is hefty enough to hold its own against the breading.

KFC Zinger Burger or Chicken Burger is the perfect fried chicken sandwich with an added “Zing!” for lovers of a little extra heat. Crispy chicken thighs are balanced by a creamy burger sauce, placed on a toasted brioche bun.

Trinidad and Tobago According to KFC, the term “Zinger” is synonymous with a fried chicken sandwich and it's already a fan favorite in more than 120 countries across the world since its inception in Trinidad and Tobago in 1984.

Unhealthiest: KFC Zinger Tower Burger (920 calories). Healthiest: Mini Fillet Burger (350 calories). KFC fast food is high in fat but also contains lots of preservatives. Try a Mini Fillet Burger for a healthy fast food option that hits the spot but won't do as much damage to your weight loss diet.

If you only consider the number of calories for a healthier food item, McDonald's burgers are better than KFC ones.
