Branches in Spintex were all affected by an issue with the chain's new delivery partner.
Signs were placed on the doors of KFC outlets around the country saying the restaurants were closed due to a “a few hiccups with the delivery today”.
Hundreds of people posted messages of outrage on Twitter, after discovering that Kentucky Fried Chicken had run out of Kentucky fried chicken.
Some of those who'd visited the affected stores drove to nearby KFC restaurants only to find that same sign had been placed there too.
One customer jokingly described the situation as the "end of the world".
Summer Thomas said: “Ohhhh KFC what the cluck do you think your playing at closing near enough every branch in Bristol because you ran out of chicken! It’s basically the end of the world.”
Same signs up at #kfc restaurants across the country. “Few hiccups” - for real @kfc ? #nochickentonight #kfc #itvnews

A KFC spokesperson said: “We’ve brought a new delivery partner on board, but they’ve had a couple of teething problems – getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants is pretty complex.
“We won’t compromise on quality, so several of our restaurants in the UK are either closed, have a reduced menu, or shortened hours over the weekend.
