Bringing it to the role:

Our cooks hand-bread and prepare our chicken just like the Colonel did it - to our world-famous, finger lickin’ good standard.

But you don’t need years of experience. We’re just looking for real people who are up for getting stuck in, delivering a great experience for our customers, and being part of our awesome team. Don’t worry about the rest, we’ll teach you everything you need to know.

As a Cook, you will:

• Manage food prep and cleaning, ensuring top communication, speed, and accuracy.
• Prepare our finger lickin’ chicken by handling food, cleaning, communicating with your team, and maintaining food safety standards.
• Maintain our high standards that keep guests coming back by hand breading our chicken with care and love.

And whatever your journey looks like, we’ll help you get there. From flexible schedules to cross-training and the chance to earn qualifications, we’ve got you covered.

There are all kinds of opportunities at KFC.

Who we are.

Take one man with a big idea, add 11 herbs and spices, grit, ambition, and buckets of heart – you’ve got KFC. Since 1952, we’ve been bringing finger lickin’ good chicken to the world. But without our people, The Originals, none of it would be possible. Everyone at KFC is different. Unique. It’s what makes us special. We’ll always be original. And we welcome you to join us; to bring your energy, grit, spirit, and story.

We value, support, and celebrate all the things that make our KFCers authentic and original. Because whatever your flavor – your ability, age, background, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation - we’re all united by the bucket.
