It was then increased to Sh390 and it is now selling at Sh450.

KFC streetwise-1 sells at Sh370 and streetwise-3 sells at Sh650.

The fast food company has not officially communicated the cause for the increase in prices.

KFC is a leading food chain that sells fast food and has been in operation in the country for several years.

The company was founded in Kentucky in the United States.

KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside.

KFC was one of the first American fast-food chains to expand internationally, opening outlets in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Jamaica by the mid-1960s.

Early this year, KFC hit the headlines after it announced that it had run out of potatoes.

The fast-food outlet, however, offered alternatives to buns and Ugali.

"Fam it was truly a Furaha December. Mlikula sherehe with your KFC faves. Ya'll loved our chips a little too much, and we've run out," KFC tweeted.

"Sorry! Our team is working hard to resolve the issue. In the meantime here are some SWAP options for combo meals if you are craving our Kuku."

But following a public uproar, the firm said Kenyan farmers can supply it with potatoes for French fries as long as they meet their standards.
