What machine does KFC use?

KFC, also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, uses a variety of specialized equipment in its kitchens to prepare its famous fried chicken and other menu items. One of the most notable machines is the pressure fryer, which is essential for achieving the signature texture and flavor of KFC’s chicken. Here are some of the key machines and equipment commonly used in KFC kitchens:

MJG is a professional manufacturer of kitchen equipment with more than 20 years’ experience. We are specialized in Pressure fryer, Open fryer and other supporting equipment.

Pressure Fryer: PFE/PFG series of pressure fryer are the hot selling models of our company. Pressure frying allows food to cook more quickly than traditional open frying methods. The higher pressure inside the fryer increases the boiling point of the oil, resulting in faster cooking times. This is crucial for a fast-food restaurant like KFC, where speed is essential to meet customer demand efficiently. This is perhaps the most critical piece of equipment. Pressure fryers cook chicken at a higher pressure and temperature, reducing cooking time and ensuring the chicken is crispy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside.

Commercial Deep Fryer: OFE/OFG-321 series of open fryer are hot selling models of our company. In addition to pressure fryers, KFC may also use standard deep fryers for other menu items like fries, tenders, and other fried products. One of the significant advantages of an open fryer is the visibility it offers. This visibility ensures that you can achieve the perfect level of crispiness and golden brown color for your fried foods.

Marinators: These machines are used to marinate the chicken with KFC’s special blend of herbs and spices, ensuring the flavors penetrate the meat thoroughly. We are have two models in total. (Normal Marinator and Vaccum Marinator).

Ovens: KFC kitchens are equipped with commercial ovens for baking items that require different cooking methods, such as biscuits and certain desserts.

Refrigeration Units: Walk-in coolers and freezers are essential for storing raw chicken, other ingredients, and prepared items to maintain food safety and quality.

Prep Tables and Stations: These are used for the preparation and assembly of various menu items. They often include built-in refrigeration to keep ingredients fresh during the preparation process.

Breaders and Breading Stations: These stations are used to coat the chicken with KFC’s proprietary breading mixture before it is cooked.

Holding Cabinets: These units keep cooked food at the proper temperature until it is served, ensuring that customers receive hot and fresh meals. Automatic humidity control system links water pan heat, fans, and ventilation. With such precise humidity control, operators can hold practically any type of food for exceptionally long periods of time without sacrificing freshness.

Beverage Dispensers: For serving drinks, including soft drinks, iced tea, and other beverages.

Point of Sale (POS) Systems: These are used at the front counter and drive-thru for taking orders, processing payments, and managing sales data.

These machines and pieces of equipment work together to ensure that KFC can consistently produce its signature fried chicken and other menu items efficiently and safely.
