Just in time for prom: KFC chicken corsages Friday, June 6, 2014 Marketing genius? Or just a greasy gimmick? KFC has teamed with Nanz & Kraft of Louisville, Ky., to hook up two of America's loves: prom and fried chicken.

Is this the smell of desperation? Parent company Yum! Brands' website acknowledges KFC "under performed" in the United States in 2013, with unit sales (4,491 million) down 2.75 per cent from 2012.
