A FURIOUS chicken-lover is suing KFC after claiming their family buckets are only half full.

Anna Wurtzburger has now accused the chain of false advertising, saying her $20 bucket of chicken was not even close to the over-flowing bucket shown in advertisements.

The 64-year-old said: "I came home and said, ‘Where’s the chicken?’ I thought I was going to have a couple of meals.

"They say it feeds the whole family, they’re showing a bucket that’s overflowing with chicken.

"You get half a bucket. That’s false advertising, and it doesn’t feed the whole family. They’re small pieces!"

The widow said she had rung up the fast-food giant's headquarters to complain but was told the chicken was made to flow out of the bucket "so that the public could see the chicken".

But the 64-year-old was left unsatisfied with the company's excuses.

She argued: "If you want the public to look at your chicken, put it in a dish,” she fumed. “It’s a lot of BS. … I expect to get what you’re telling me."

The hangry customer has now hired a lawyer, seeking USD $20 million in damages - equal to more than £16,000,000.

She has also returned the two gift certificates the company sent to her by way of compensation.

She said: "You know what commercial they should put on? You remember the movie, 'Oliver?”

"It was about the little boy growing up in the orphanages and he was hungry and he goes to the man, ‘Can I have some more?’"

The determined woman said as she lived off her Social Security check, the KFC meal was supposed to be a rare treat.

KFC has called the lawsuit "merit less".
