KFC’s chief marketing officer Angela Richards said the fast food chain was looking for weird and wacky stories, or chicken-loving tributes.

“National Fried Chicken Day is quite obviously one of our favourite calendar dates, so we wanted to do something special not only for the joy of fried chicken but the people who adore KFC the most,” Ms Richards said.

“Nothing says, ‘I love the amazing taste of the Colonel’s secret recipe fried chicken’, more than a year’s supply of the Colonel’s finest.

“We’re looking for hilarious stories, wacky anecdotes and huge displays of immense love for KFC tasty fried chicken to help us choose our overall winner. The bigger and bolder the story, the better!”

But time is running out. Fans have just 24 hours to hatch a clever response, with judging set to kick off on Wednesday evening.
