And then I found this

Assalam O Alaikum

Is any Muslim ask KFC in UK about the Halal status of food coating applied on those machine slaughtered chickens. KFC can not offer hand slaughter zabiha chicken because of cost. Their USA supplier near Atlanta, GA slaughtered 140 chicken per minute on a machine according to the company's letter and a Muslim mechanic of the company say Busmillah. This was about 5-6 years back and I do not know what they are doing now. But they have a Halal certificate from a masjid.

Unless chicken are zabiha hand slaughtered under HMC in UK and food coating is Halal certifed, the KFC chicken are not Halal in UK based on MCG criteria same as in Chicago area's two KFC.

In USA KFC Halal chicken is not expanding because MCG is educating US Muslims how they are slaughtered. Machine slaughter for majority of Muslims here in USA is no no.The Halal certifcate of the coating is not from a professional Halal certifying organization(5-6 years back).
