Prankster makes the most of the KFC stock shortage by dressing up as a staff member and purchasing a trolley full of chicken.

Lee Marshall, otherwise known as Disco Boy, was at it again as he produced a video of himself and a friend dressing as employees from the fast food chain in Greenhithe’s Asda purchasing the poultry.

His latest exploit comes after more than 600 KFC branches across the UK faced stock shortages and closures due to teething problems with delivery firm DHL.

The Canterbury-based prankster can be heard joking in the viral video, as the cameraman laughs: “Chicken is chicken, to be honest the Asda stuff is probably better than the stuff we get from Tunisia.

“At the end of the day you are still getting KFC.

“That is good Asda chicken at the end of the day it gets put in the colonel’s secret recipe.

“No one knows the difference; they haven’t for a few days anyway.

“It is the boss making me do it.”

An Asda employee stopped the filming after Lee Marshall and a friend had scanned more than 10 packs of Chicken.

The comedian’s video has had more than a million views on Facebook.

KFC responded to his prank on Twitter by tweeting a picture of the time he dressed as a Domino’s pizza employee and started purchasing food, joking it was for the fast food store.
