Ever eat fried chicken with a fork and knife?

For chicken heads who refuse to let a single juicy morsel of Kentucky Fried Chicken’s special “blend of 11 herbs and spices” go to waste, you might want to consider utensils.

That’s because the Southern-style fast-food chain is suspending their iconic “finger-lickin’ good” advertising campaign — a move to preserve the health of their customers amid the coronavirus pandemic. However, the enduring Colonel Sanders slogan, which originated in 1956, isn’t going anywhere, company reps assure The Post.

Standard safety measures set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dictate that individuals may avoid contracting coronavirus by being especially mindful of their hands — washing frequently, not touching their face, reducing physical contact with others — especially those who are ill, and definitely no finger-licking.

The UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received 163 complaints regarding KFC’a now problematic commercials at the time of their reporting, according to The Independent. However, the ASA confirmed that formal action against KFC was not required as the fast-food chain reported that they had already made the decision to halt the promotion.

A spokesperson for KFC told the outlet, “It doesn’t feel like the right time to be airing this campaign, so we’ve decided to pause it for now -– but we’re really proud of it and look forward to bringing it back at a later date.”

As of Friday, there were more than 1,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the United States and more than 30 deaths.

To help prevent the spread of the potentially deadly COVID-19 virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends using hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol, ensuring the correct amount of gel is applied. However, 20 seconds of washing with “soap and water are more effective than hand sanitizers at removing certain kinds of germs,” the agency reports.
