Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM) is on watch Friday morning following McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) February sales result.

In part, McDonald's said that adjusted comps in Asia/Pacific rose 1.5 percent (excluding a calendar shift).

With Yum! facing some fallout from its recent chicken debacle, investors might be hoping that the sign is a positive one moving forward. McDonald's itself offers several chicken dishes, from McNuggets to various sandwiches.

Shares of Yum! are indicated for a higher open Friday.
