Iceland's response to KFC's chicken shortage is hilarious

Last weekend it emerged that KFC has had to close many of its restaurants due to chicken delivery problems and it seems that many restaurants are still closed.

As the national chicken shortage at KFC continues across the country, frozen supermarket chain Iceland has offered to help the fast food chain resulting in a HILARIOUS Twitter exchange.

Tweeting the popular chicken restaurant Iceland suggested they could deliver their Family Feast 'in time for tomorrow'. The Family Feast includes some similar products to KFC, with chicken strips, wings and sides such as mini corn cobs, coleslaw and beans.

KFC took the time to respond to Iceland's kind offer, however they didn't mention their chicken delivery crisis. They just said, 'There's no gravy there, we definitely can't operate without gravy...'

However Iceland responded with a very valid point saying, 'Hmm, we think we should let the people decide... 🤔 What's more important from a fried chicken place?'

They then created a Twitter poll, which at the time of writing has 69% of people saying fried chicken is more important!

The hilarious exchange continued on Twitter as KFC admitted that it was a 'fair point' and asked Iceland if they could borrow Peter Andre their 'grand re-opening'.

With that comment Iceland quickly responded with the words to Peter Andre's 1996 hit 'Mysterious Girl', replacing the work clicking with clucking!

You couldn't make this up!

'I stop and stare at you, clucking on the shore,

I try to concentrate, my mind wants to eat more,

The chicken-y scent of you, takes me up above,

Hen when I look at you, oh, I fall in love'

Users on Twitter couldn't believe what they were seeing and responded to the exchange saying, 'This has to have been the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time' and 'this thread is hilarious 🤣😂😅'.

With news of the chicken shortage it wasn't long before the Internet went wild with hilarious comments and memes. One user posted a photo of a tortoise carrying a parcel with the caption, 'Anyone who has ever attempted to receive a package through DHL could have foreseen the #KFC chicken shortage.'
