The target for 2030 will help thousands of young people get their first job, the fast food chain says.
KFC says that by 2030, a third of all its new hires in the UK will be young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Meghan Farren, general manager of KFC UK and Ireland, said: "If we're to tackle the labour shortage and provide better jobs and economic growth across the country for the next generation, then we urgently need to help young people who have been excluded from education and training opportunities to find their feet and their voice in the workplace."
Yael Selfin, chief economist at KPMG, welcomed the initiative from KFC but said more needed to be done to help keep young people in employment.
