KFC has apologised to its customers for running out of chicken - in a pretty cheeky way. The fast-food chain took out a full page ad in the Sun and Metro newspapers which shows an empty bucket of chicken with crumbs spilling out. The chain was forced to close hundreds of stores this week following a problem with its chicken supplier. The closures followed KFC's decision to switch suppliers from Bidvest to DHL, which is using a single warehouse near Rugby for deliveries nationwide. KFC admitted there would be "significant losses", as a result of the problems but said "we can't put a precise figure against this". It also said "regrettably some chicken had to be scrapped", but added "we are doing everything we can to avoid wastage".
