Oprah.com/kfc Gives Out Free Chicken Coupons

By Elizabeth Fairchild, your free stuff news source

KFC teams with Oprah

oprah_hook_up
Yes, everyone is always suspicious when they hear about a “free lunch,” but if you visit Oprah.com/kfc today or tomorrow, you can get free chicken and sides.

If  you follow the link at Oprah.com/kfc, you can download a coupon that entitles you to a free meal, including two pieces of Kentucky Fried Chicken’s new menu item, Kentucky Grilled Chicken, two sides and a biscuit. That certainly sounds like a recipe for a full stomach to me.

Giving it all away

I have learned from checking Google Trends every day that if Oprah says something, millions (possibly billions) listen. KFC hit a marketing jackpot when Oprah agreed to run their promotion.

That means KFC will be giving away a lot of free chicken. A lot. Of course, normal coupon rules apply: one per person, per visit, etc. However, there does not appear to be a limit to the number of coupons that can be printed.

Media makeover for Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)

At first, KFC will probably lose money because of this promotion. But that’s nothing that some short-term loans can’t fix. This promotion is tied to a campaign to change KFC’s image. If the plan works, KFC will have more new customers than it knows what to do with.

When you click on the link at Oprah.com/kfc to download your free chicken coupon, KFC’s new tagline “Unthink What You Though About KFC” pops up above the “print” button. From the free coupon page, there’s also a link to check out nutrition information.

Heading toward healthy


KFC has gotten a lot of bad press in recent years for a myriad of reasons. It has been targeted by animal rights activists who believe the chickens, before they become food at KFC, are treated inhumanely.

It also hasn’t escaped the ongoing effort to expose the fast-food industry as unhealthy. With its new grilled chicken, KFC hopes to appeal to calorie counters. The company says:

“Kentucky Grilled Chicken has fewer calories, fewer fat grams and less sodium than our Original Recipe chicken, all without sacrificing the great taste of KFC.”

Hooray for free stuff

Coupons can be redeemed now through May 19, but not on May 10, Mother’s Day. I guess Oprah doesn’t approve of giving your mom free fast food for Mother’s Day. We hear ya loud and clear, Oprah.

The offer says individuals can only redeem one coupon during offer period. You’ll also need to install a coupon printer on your computer to take advantage of the offer at Oprah.com/kfc. After that, it’s free lunch time!

    Hi Oprah I think you are one kind of God-sent Woman seeing your kindness and devotion to humanity.I just pray that your sense of generosity would be favourably rewarded by God.God bless yhou as you feed the world by your latest KFC tour.Benson

  2. Carlos says:

    I like KFC… cool…

  3. Скачать фильмы says:

    Thanks Oprah for just being you.

  4. evans says:

    i need uuuuuuuuu

  5. Russian Lady says:

    Must eat less! Food should be natural and fresh) And these chickens do not inspire confidence for me …

  6. Geneva Chamberlain says:

    I can afford my own KFC, but my daughter and grandson in Mtn.Home, Ark can surely use a free meal. She, heading for a new job, fell and broke her ankle and had to spend their money for doctor and drugs. The Salvation Army helped them get a place to stay and the churches of Mtn. Home helped them with food. But she is diabetic and has run out of insulin, I am sending her $50 and hope that will last til she can work. My grandson has a job already, but they hold back a weeks pay and then he will get paid in two weeks. Anyhow, even if you just read this and help me pray for Gods help for them, I am sure God will have mercy on them and see to their needs as he has so far. You have done many good deeds and you will get your rewards in heaven.

  7. David Sexton says:

    Oprah,
    I recently tried to use the coupon at KFC and they would NOT honor it.
    I think it was a scam and I don’t think Oprah’s name should be associated with such a company.

    • Raymond P. Sondereker says:

      We gave our couponds to our local KFC and was told that we would receive new couponds to replace them .That was well over month ago.Was this a scam?

  8. Phil Palermo says:

    Oprah, how could the KFC chain use your name to run an apparent scam offering free meals, with a valid coupon, with no ability or want to fulfill the offer? My wife and I, acting in good faith, took your coupons to the KFC in Indio, CA twice only to be turned down because they “ran out” of chicken and on our third return was handed a rain check. Looks like they were thinking that if you were in their store you would buy something if it wasn’t free. You are an American icon. I think they soiled your name for their own personal gain.

  9. Andrew McCubbin says:

    Hi Oprah,How are you doing? Can you sorry for a poor little man and give him a chance in life like you did for many.Just a car for me and my family,even if it’s a 10 year old car. Thank you so much and God bless.

  10. Todd says:

    This was a scam. I printed out the coupon (after downloading the “required” software). When I took it to my local KFC, I was told it was not a valid coupon and they took it and kept it. I think this was just KFC’s way of getting us to install cookies and software on our computers.

  11. lelia hinshaw says:

    I thank you oprah from the bottom of my heart.my husband is on disability and we never get to out and eat thank you

  12. Tania Morgan says:

    Oprah,
    Thank you so much. May God continue to bless you and everything you touch. How wonderful to share your blessings. No one has EVER done anything like this EVER. Now that’s giving back!

  13. RaVette says:

  24. I Brown says:

    I tried several times to download the coupons. I really did need it, I have just moved into a transitional home with my son because things have gotten so bad. I am 47 years old and worked since I was 15 so I was excited to receive something for free, but to avail. Thanks for trying to ease some of the pressure of day.

  25. Lisa says:

    When I tried to print the coupons I got an error stating “you have already printed your maximum number of coupons”. Guess maybe I got to it too late….. it does say the number is limited.

  26. Raymond Hang says:

    I tried all day yesterday and today to print coupon and I was unable to. I even download Mozilla hoping the new browser would let me print. Did KFC locked the system after they got the free publicity from Oprah. This would have been a stimulus benefit in this economy for my family of four.

  27. Tiffany C says:

    I want to thank you for being a truly wonderful woman you touck the lives of so many in little and big ways . You have such a big heart and I pray that God continues to bless you as you have done for other people. Love YA

  30. chris johnson says:

    Earlier today – 19 hrs. into the promotion – I tried to get free coupon – then it said to go to another website UnThinKFC.com. At both sites the coupon was unavailable. I read that I could get up to four
    coupons for my family. I am disappointed that this was unavailable. So much for a free meal.

  31. freda says:

  42. Andrew McCubbin says:

    Good day to you Miss Oprah.

    First I want to say that you are a wonderful person,and I meant what I say from my heart,now about the chicken,wow I can’t even wait for that coupon,even though my family in in great need of some kind of help,because I’m not working and it’s very hard on us.

    Thank you so much,and God bless always.

  43. Burnell says:

    That was so generous of you to give out free KFC coupons. My daughter and her children just moved back home with us from GA, where her husband is stationed at Fort Benning. I don’t have a computer at home, so I was anxious to come into work to print off the coupons, unfortunately our school district had a block on your website. I managed to get buy the block, but couldn’t print out the coupons. But I wanted you to know, it was a kind thing you did. I told my youngest daughter who’s in college about it and she was fortunate enough to copy the coupons and enjoy the KFC chicken.

  44. Anna says:

    Thanks to Oprah and KFC. I had a problem printing the coupons at first but, wait until after 9pm and it doesn’t take anytime at all. At least it didn’t for me last night.
    Keep trying.

    Thanks again……………

  45. jennifer says:

    thanks for giving, may God almighty continue to bless you as you do so. I have a family of 5 and cannot find the coupons online to print. Thanks anyway!

  46. Teresa says:

    I went to KFC in Ridgeland Ms, today for lunch, as I entered the store, there was a sign on the door stating that they were not honoring the coupons from Oprah, and that none of the KFC stores in the Jackson area were. I showed them my coupon and it was prinited off the UnthinKFC.com website and it didn’t expire until May 19, they told me that they sold to many last night and all the stores was not accepting them. I don’t think it is fare to have a coupon for a certain time and not honor it. But thanks Oprah for trying, you have touched so many hearts at what you do.

  47. anthonychaves says:

    free chicken woot!

  48. carolyn says:

    I’ve been trying to print coupons all day and nothing happen….HELP!

  49. MARTIN GARCIA says:

    Oprah you are very nice chica

  50. Lakeisha Griffin says:

    Thanks alot Oprah for the meal, I really appreciated the coupons and your generosity, If I could bless alot people the way you did everyone will be as happy as I. Thanks again, Lakeisha

  51. Robert Brown says:

    Oprah this is a NEW low for you. or is it really? KFC is not real food. it is processed and therefore has no real nutritional value. Oprah is a big black figure head as well as a leader for fat white couch sitting women in the Midwest. its great exposure for KFC to give free food on the most watched fat woman show in the country. its also good for kfc to have a black woman as a spokesperson. but thats just the gimmick to get more fools to eat KFC. lets get REAL, people!!! G GARVIN also should NOT be supporting KFC!! you are all losing the battle

  52. nina says:

    thank u for what u do…

  53. jessica says:

    yes i fianally got some chicken that has no fat and i am able to eat without
    the risk of my high colesteral .
    i love it eat it almost 3 times a week
    for lunch i try to get coupons but
    miss out on them because im so busy
    but yes awsome chicken hope it sell s
    thank you .

  54. doris says:

    thank you Oprah for making my day. I’m struggling today & I asked God to favor me with a blessing today. Thank you

  55. delanie says:

    thnx…:) goin 2 tell my momma soooo we kan git a free meal

  56. Rosa M. Chapman says:

    I have been trying to download the coupon, with no success.
    This is a wonderful thing that Oprah is doing, since I am not able to be on her show. This make me a part of Oprah’s generosity community…Thanks Oprah..even though I have not received the coupon as yet…I am not going to give up.

    I do LOVE your show. Sincerely Rosa

  57. shariyka says:

  76. Kisha says:

    We are unable to print coupon please help i have a family of 5.

  77. Peter Stone says:

    This is a great thing that Oprah’s doing, and it’s also very generous of KFC. If this chicken is really that good they should be able to get themselves some repeat customers out of it, that’s for sure, and some kudos from the health lobby. (Well not that much – it’s still KFC.) Chicken, whether grilled or fried, tastes so much better when it’s free!

  78. Barbara says:

    Thanks Oprah, you are a true blessing

  79. david morris says:

    how do i get free chicken at kjc??

  80. jhw says:

    thanks for the opportunity however not able to display the coupon for printing

    Thank you so much my son and I really does need this.

  83. Beverly says:

    Dear Oprah,

    I thank you from the bottom of my heart,
    for your continued generousity, and goodness.

    Beverly Jones

  84. DiAnne Hunt says:

    Thanks for giving America a piece of your PIE.

  85. Sharie L. Bill says:

    I have a family of 4. Myself, 2 girls and 1 boy. It would be great to have a good healthy meal for free. Thx! We Appreciate it immensely.
