KFC in Germany - probably closer than Vienna for most of us.
Stuttgart and Sindelfingen are the southernmost ones I was able to locate.

It's weird... There are SOOOOOO many McDees in Switzerland, which shows the Swiss also eat junk food, but so few other options. I think Wendy's and KFC would really work here. So would Quiznos and Subway/Dagwoods.

A healthier, tastier option for fast-food chicken ........ Nando's! Available in the UK, Australia and Southern Africa. Alas, there's a "wannabe" place (which shall remain nameless - find out for yourselves ) near Escher-Wyss Platz in Zürich which recently opened ... defo not up to Nando's high standards though.

And there is a Subway in Zurich.
Commercial success will show whether the Swiss like non-McD junk food.

Speaking of awesome Chicken Burgers, any Aussies got a hankering for Oporto Bondi Burger?  |

IMVHO Subway is waaaay over-priced. Try "Picnic" just off of Bahnhofstrasse ... healthy and tasty too .... | Quote: | | | | | Commercial success will show whether the Swiss like non-McD junk food. | | | | | ... and they're always heaving during lunch hours ...

Beware the dangers of easily available fast food.
I've got easy access to KFC, McDs, Burger King, Subway, loads of traditional Fish and Chip shops and a multitude of curry houses and Chinese restaurants now.
It doesn't help the waistline I can tell you.
Must ..... resist ..... |

You can get your deep fried fried chicken fix here. The locals have something called Chicken in a basket, Huenli im Chürbli or Poulet im Chürbli.
One place I like serves it with a nice curry dip. The best part of all is they serve real chickens with no added hormones. Much better than the genetic experiments KFC serves.
I sometime go to one in Aargau. I think this is the one:
Restaurant Alpenblick
Neudorf
CH-4813 Uerkheim
Aargau
062 721 1328
If you have a motorcycle, the country roads that lead to this restaurant are very nice.

After happily munching down KFC, and more frequently ''Pollo Loco" (Best chicken chain in Socal in my view) I took the plunge and tasted a piece of rotisserie chicken (about CHF 3.50) at the local COOP supermarket hot food stand. With tears, I need to tell you that it tastes better than KFC, and in addition, has not been rinsed in a chlorine solution, like all US chicken.
Of course, you almost get a meal in the US for this single chicken leg price...but do try it.

I miss El Pollo Loco 
I agree the chicken here is better quality, but I find the seasoning is too salty.

In CA, Safeway rotisserie chicken was pretty good. Costco, was even better.
In Zurich, the old Carrefour in Dietlikon was pretty good, and I would sometimes wait for 30 minutes for them to finsih. Pretty funny, how I could start a lineup of curious Swiss (or other expats) wondering what I was waiting for...
The Migros food court near Limmatplatz serves 1/4 chicken, and I agree with Phos, WAY too salty and overcooked.
Had some chicken nuggets from Domino's last week...about like KFC or McD's nuggets.

I miss KFC.
The other chicken takeaways (I've tried Migros, Coop, McD, BK, New York place in Oerlikon) are all too salty in my opinion and/or are weirdly spiced. If I can't have KFC, I would like just normal chicken with none of this funny spicing and extra salt.
If only life weren't soooo hard...
