Meanwhile, London food blogger The Chicken Connoisseur sparked interest from the internet after his YouTube review series of chicken shops, The Pengest Munch, went viral.

The work of 23-year-old Elijah Quashie from north London, he told Buzzfeed: “Most of the time I eat chicken. All restaurants have reviews but chicken shops rarely have any. They are not respected like that and they are better for value for many.”

Earlier this month, KFC announced a new limited edition scented candle – allowing you to fill your home with the smell of fried chicken.

“What better way to light up your nights than with a limited edition KFC Scented Candle?” asked the chicken chain over in New Zealand, who are giving the limited run of candles away via Instagram as part of a Christmas advent calendar campaign.
