The previous Guinness World Record for the Largest
serving of fried chicken
was 1,278 pounds and 11 ounces,
held by a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise in Kuwait City,
Kuwait.
For Jerry Short, chairman of the Guinness
Book of World Records attempt at Canoefest, it was time to
bring the record to the “fried chicken capital of the universe.”
The World's
Largest
serving of fried chicken
was served in a canoe
donated by Osagian Canoes. Anyone who purchased a $10 souvenir
ticket could eat as much of the chicken as they wanted.
Between 120 and 200 volunteers did the
frying.
“Anywhere within a stone's throw right here
you can get fried chicken,” he said. “We are the Mecca of
chicken.” Short said between 120 and 200 volunteers fried
2,700 pounds of donated chicken. The record-breaking poultry
was served up in a donated canoe.
Short said the feat proves “KFC should have
been IFC.” “Of all things, Col. Sanders was born in Indiana,”
he said. “He’s a Hoosier.”
