While the US voted, the world held it's breath. But although the US elections are now over, voting is still taking place. And this time you get the chance to take part as polling stations open for The Big Dip’im where KFC’s Colonel Sanders will be plunged into a giant bucket of his own sauce. You get to choose the flavour!

Great news! We've gained an important win in protecting Indonesia's rainforests as KFC UK & Ireland commit to excluding suppliers actively involved in rainforest clearance.
