KFC teams with Oprah
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
I like KFC… cool…
Thanks Oprah for just being you.
i need uuuuuuuuu
Must eat less! Food should be natural and fresh) And these chickens do not inspire confidence for me …
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.

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.

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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
Dear Oprah,

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.

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.
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.
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
Where’s The couponn. ! DonT see iiT

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.

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.
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.
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……………
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!
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.
free chicken woot!
I’ve been trying to print coupons all day and nothing happen….HELP!
Oprah you are very nice chica
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
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
thank u for what u do…
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 .
thank you Oprah for making my day. I’m struggling today & I asked God to favor me with a blessing today. Thank you
thnx…:) goin 2 tell my momma soooo we kan git a free meal
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
Dearest oprah,
This is an extreme blessing that you are doing for millions of families…my mother has been homeless for awhile neither the less to say she can eat everyday until this promotion is over with…thanks once again for your continous support for your fellow country….
i love kfc chicken
Great Idea thanks!! Too bad there is no coupon at the site your directed too!
KFC is the best chicken in town.
I like KFC.
Thank you for all the goodness of your heart in so many ways.
Well, this just shows the best of the best from Mississippi. People who were born there such as I have learn to appreciate all people and in return, God rewards us. He rewards us through many ways and this time it is through Ms. Oprah.
Thank again, sweety
THANKS FOR THE MEAL
Thanks so much Oprah for just being you. Thanks to KFC also. From now on i will be a great fan of KFC. This is unimaginable-lunch for free for the next 12 days. oprah may God continue to bless you.
YOU CAN SEND ME A EMAIL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE.

MARTI SCHICK
Thanks you Oprah in advance for your kindness and giving heart.
where’s the coupon?
thanks oprah and kfc
wow, “thank you for being a friend.” God bless and keep you.
Thank you, Oprah, for thinking of those who are less fortunate. God bless you for your kindness.
Thanks…
Ihave family of 7.We all thank you so much.For being so kind.
this is great for america thank you very much Ron & Sandy Pardue retired
We are unable to print coupon please help i have a family of 5.
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!
Thanks Oprah, you are a true blessing
how do i get free chicken at kjc??
thanks for the opportunity however not able to display the coupon for printing
Thanks Oprah for just being you.
Thank you so much my son and I really does need this.
Dear Oprah,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart,
for your continued generousity, and goodness.
Beverly Jones
