KFC was roasted extra crispy on Thursday after it tweeted an NSFW photo in an effort to promote a "hot and spicy" offering.

The fast food chain's Australian division posted the following image to its Twitter account.

It showed a woman reaching in the area of a man's genitals, though what's happening has been blurred out:

KFC Australia eventually took the ad down and posted this apology.

We are very sorry for our earlier tweet on H&S - we didn’t mean to offend and removed it when we realised we’d made an error in judgment.
