KFC Thailand's "Crow Order" campaign, celebrating International Fried Chicken Day, offered customers free meals for crowing at the counter and using poultry-inspired names. The event, held on July 6, went viral with over 2 million social media views.
KFC Thailand's ‘Crow Order’ Delights with Free Meals on Fried Chicken Day
The "KFC Crow Order" campaign, introduced by KFC Thailand, allows fried chicken consumers to receive a free meal, topping up by crowing audibly and using their voices. This approach adds a distinctive element to International Fried Chicken Day, according to MARKETECH APAC.
KFC outlets intensified the enthusiasm on July 6, 2024, by inviting customers to participate in the entertaining "Crow-for-your-supper" event.
To be eligible for participation, customers were required to make chicken utterances at the counter, such as "Ek Ek Ek Ek" or "Cock-a-doodle-doo," and flap their arms like chicken wings. Furthermore, when placing their orders, they were required to use names that were inspired by poultry, such as "On-Ai-Et" for the Donjai Set, "Or-Ai-Uck-Et" for the Porjai Bucket, or "Uer-Auk-Ek-Ae-Uer" for The Box Signature. This amusing procedure enhanced the event's overall enjoyment.
The store's popularity exceeded all expectations, as numerous individuals fled the establishment upon its opening. Some individuals even donned poultry costumes to participate in the festivities. From rhythmic crowing to melodious poultry songs, fans showcased a variety of innovative strategies.

We decided to go big this International Fried Chicken Day with Our ‘Crow to Get Fried Chicken’ stunt. The more people brought out their inner chicken, the more they were rewarded with our Finger Lickin’ Good chicken! Our fans absolutely loved it and suffice to say, our restaurants were buzzing with Thailand’s best cluckers!”
Limbada added, “To all those who participated, our hats (and bowties) off to you for being the best KFC fans in the world.”
