Communications Manager, Gail Sham says the franchise has been hardest hit by bird flu.
"Some KFC restaurants, together with the broader industry, are experiencing a shortage of wings in some areas at the moment. This is due to the impact of the outbreaks of Avian Influenza. The increased pressure on our supply chain means that we unfortunately have limited supply.
"So some of our restaurants may be intermittently out of stock. We would like to reassure our customers that we are working tirelessly to bring supply levels back to normal as far as possible," she said.
