(RNN) – First no chicken, now no gravy.
What the cluck is up with KFC in the U.K. and Ireland?
Last week, hundreds of the fast-food restaurants were forced to close due to a chicken shortage.
The chain blamed its new delivery partner, DHL, saying there were “teething problems.”

How can Kentucky Fried Chicken run out of chicken? Next thing you know, McDonald's will be running out of Donalds. #KFC

The colonel says things will be better soon.
We're still ironing out a few kinks with our delivery issues, but we can assure you that Gravy is at the top of our list to get back into Restaurants.
