KFC is the most recognisable fried chicken chain in the world, so well-loved it gets away with serving its food in a bucket.
The Isle of Wight hosts two establishments displaying the image of Colonel Sanders meaning you are never too far from a Fillet Tower Burger or a Boneless Banquet.
If you ever wonder about the cleanliness of your regular fast food place, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) make their hygiene ratings public, meaning it's easy to discover how restaurants scored.
The inspections are carried out by the local authority and findings are updated on the FSA website whenever there is a new inspection.

How is KFC assessed?
Inspectors look at a few different key elements when assessing the hygiene of a restaurant including:
How hygienically the food is handled- such as how its prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled, and stored.
The condition of the structure of the buildings – the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, and other facilities.
How the business manages what it does to make sure food is safe so the officer can be confident standards will be maintained in the future.
