    The KFC organising team set up a stage next to the food court where the basket, reaching 4-ft high, was placed on a digital scale.

   The signature fried-chicken was prepared at six different locations and was tranported to the venue, according to an official.

   “We wanted Doha to be in the record books and what better way to offer customers abundant supply of the product they love, while setting a record on the way as well,” said Sherif al-Ashry, the official of Qatar Food Company.

   A large number of curious visitors who had gathered to witness the feat were served the chicken afterwards. An Arabic-version of the Book of World Records 2008 was also distributed free.
