Last year, France became the leading consumer of chicken in Europe ahead of Germany and Spain. New franchises are appearing in fast food, such as the Korean fried chicken chain Bonchon, which opened its first restaurant in Paris in March.

KFC has entered into a partnership with LDC poultry (chickens from Loué, Le Gaulois) which has enabled it to double its supplies of tricolor chicken, to 47% of the total. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommends reducing the density of chickens on farms.
