"A lot of Canadians toast the start of the summer season with a picnic featuring buckets of KFC Original Recipe chicken - or celebrate with a KFC combo meal while on summer road trips to the cottage and other activities. We're hoping we'll help in starting another annual tradition by adding once in a life time experiences to your summers," sums up Vivenes.

The World's Most Famous Bucket

Original Recipe® chicken was first perfected and introduced by KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders more than 50 years ago in Corbin, Kentucky. The famous 11 herbs and spices recipe remains a secret to this day, hidden in a high-security, top-secret vault located in Louisville, Kentucky.

When it was first introduced in 1957, the KFC bucket became an instant packaging classic that revolutionized take-out dining. Since then, the trademark red and white KFC bucket has been embraced by countries around the world.
