The audition train rolls into Kentucky today and as such, the state that is home to Colonel Sanders has a additional prize up for grabs.

An open letter to all auditioning hopefuls:

On behalf of Kentucky Fried Chicken, I want to serve up a tasty offer. As you audition to become a star to millions of Americans, KFC has a simple message for you: Sing your heart out, break a leg … but think about flapping those wings.

At KFC, we know a thing or two about legs (and wings), so that’s why we‘d like to offer you and thousands of others auditioning for America’s top reality show the chance to dance for your supper. The KFC Colonel wants to share his “secret recipe” for success for your performance: add a side dish of “wings” to your song by doing the “Chicken Dance” and you’ll have the judges eating out of your hand!

As tryouts kick off in our brand’s hometown of Louisville, Ky., Kentucky Fried Chicken has cooked up this mouth-watering proposition for you: If you “wing it” by incorporating the “Chicken Dance” into your audition and the performance airs nationally, you’ll score free KFC for a year* and a role in an upcoming KFC commercial.

Now that’s a finger licking good offer that would make even the harshest of judges stand and applaud!

We can’t guarantee your “Chicken Dance” wing flaps will fly you to Hollywood. But, a year’s supply of our famous chicken, 12 months of delicious sides and 52 weeks of Hot Wings … now that’s an “Original
Recipe” worth singin’ about!

Best of luck,
Roger Eaton
President of KFC
