Will the Colonel's third grilled chicken giveaway be a charm?

KFC will once again hand out free pieces of its Kentucky Grilled Chicken on Monday, Oct. 26, in a promotion hailed as "UNFry Day."

Customers can stop by KFC locations throughout the day on Monday and receive a free piece of Kentucky Grilled Chicken. No coupon is required.

"Already, more than 60 million Americans have joined 'Grilled Nation' by trying our new Kentucky Grilled Chicken," KFC spokesman Rick Maynard tells Slashfood. "But we're not satisfied with just 60 million, so we're giving away free KGC again."

The first "UNFry Day," occurred earlier this year on April 27 and gave consumers a chance to sample one free piece of the new patented fry-free chicken option.

In May, KFC announced on the Oprah Winfrey Show that they would offer downloadable coupons for a free two-piece grilled chicken meal. The promotion directed people to a Web site to download the free coupon.

The public demand was so high that the Web site experienced technical difficulties and many KFC locations nationwide ran out of the grilled chicken. So many customers were left hungry after the media Oprah storm that KFC ended up asking coupon-toting customers to take a rain check (and a free soda) for a later date.
