SEVERAL KFC restaurants across the UK have been forced to close after running out of chicken.
Staff have been blaming the closures on a "hiccup" with deliveries.
The chicken chain is still looking into how many venues are affected but customers have reported multiple closures across the UK, including Newcastle, Suffolk, Surrey and Berkshire.
There are over 800 KFC branches in the UK.
Fans of the fried chicken have been sharing their disappointment on Twitter.
One said: "Drove to two separate @KFC_UKI to find one had no chicken and one was closed. What even is my luck. Just want some fried chicken".
Another said: "As if kfc is closed coz they’ve run out of chicken."

A KFC spokesperson said: “We deliver fresh chicken to our restaurants, but we’re having a few hiccups with our delivery system at the moment.
"We’re really sorry for any inconvenience, and we’re working to have all our restaurants back up and running as soon as we can!”
Its not the first time that a chain has been in hot water over deliveries.
Last month, Wetherspoons was forced to pull steak from it's steak night menu following an investigation into its supplier by the Food Standards Agency.
In October, KFC fans branded the new Double Down burger a "disaster" after it failed to live to hype.
The breadless burger uses two pieces of chicken to the form the bun, with bacon, Monterey Jack cheese and bbq sauce making up the filling.
