KFC commissions teriyaki-sauce mural
July 9, 2007
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky Fried Chicken has commissioned experiential artist Phil Hansen to create a mural of Colonel Sanders to showcase KFC's new Teriyaki Boneless Wings.
Hansen used KFC's teriyaki wing sauce as his medium.
Drawing inspiration from the Japanese martial art to reflect the origins of teriyaki sauce, Hansen used his unique 'karate-painting' technique by coating his hands and feet (and his cheek at one point) in the teriyaki-sauce 'paint' and karate chopping, kicking and head butting a wall-sized canvass.
A minute-long film posted on YouTube shows the mural's eight hour production in high speed, finally revealing Colonel Sanders in mid-karate kick. The finished painting will be auctioned on eBay with proceeds benefiting Colonel's Scholars, a charitable program providing students nationwide with much needed college scholarships.
KFC's new Teriyaki Boneless Wings Combo will become available July 10 and is priced at $3.99, plus tax. Prices may vary by location.
