KFC-How-Tos
Etiquette maven Peggy Post, heir of Emily Post, blows the roof off "stuffy" entertaining by reviving an outdoor tradition -- the picnic -- as the smartest way to finish off the season. With the clock ticking on summer, Post teams up with KFC® to help families rally the troops for the season finale and pull off picnics with smarts and style.

Instead of slaving in the kitchen, Post suggests picking up a freshly prepared meal featuring a family favorite -- a bucket of KFC's Original Recipe® chicken and an assortment of side dishes -- and head for the hills, backyard or even the stadium parking lot.


Create the Perfect Picnic



  • Know your site: Check it out ahead of time.
  • Plan a simple and delicious menu.
  • Plan food and activities for children.

  • Create Inviting Invitations




    Carefully Plan Your Guest List
    Invite guests who are likely to be interesting to each other. As Emily Post said, "The right mix of people - the 'most congenial stew' - can make all the difference in the world."

    Celebrate The Ocassion

    No need to labor over a hot stove. Let someone else do the cooking for you. Pickup all the ingredients you need for freshly prepared, family-size meals, such as a bucket of chicken from KFC--complete with biscuits and vegetable side dishes for your perfect party.
