Every branch of KFC in one country have been shut down leaving chicken-loving customers spitting feathers.

There are 11 branches of the fast food giant in Denmark.

But they have all closed their doors while the company hunts for a new franchise operator.

Bad food hygiene practices were allegedly found at the chicken eateries.

The company’s West European head office said it was to shut up shop in the country until a new business takes over.

There were three KFCs Copenhagen, two in Odense and others in Rødovre, Greve, Tilst, Horsens, Vejle, Herning, as reported by Need To Know.

Each of the 11 KFC’s were visited in early June by The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration’s inspection unit.

None of them received the top rating, which is a happy smiley.

In total, four unhappy smileys and seven neutral ones were issued.

This rating system has been used in Denmark since 2001 to help consumers gauge hygiene standards at cafés, shops and restaurants.

KFC fan Steve said: “The colonel would be turning in his grave.”

“Too much finger licking,” Stephen joked.

Moses claimed: “I ordered crispy chicken and got watery chicken.”
