The Oprah Winfrey-fueled free chicken give-away that caused pandemonium this week at Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants has been canceled due to what the fast-food chain called an "overwhelming response."

Roger Eaton, president of KFC in the United States said restaurants would no longer accept the free coupons for its new grilled chicken meal after Oprah's chat show promotion caused long lines around the nation.

KFC said millions of Americans had downloaded free coupons after the offer was featured on "The Oprah Winfrey Show"and Web site on Tuesday, driving traffic to levels unseen in the brand's 50-year history.
