You just need to remember this form. Also: "на балкон", "на почту".
It is some kind of archaism. Like in English language the difference between in school (inside the building) and at school (studying). I think historically "на кухню" was some kind of professional use of kitchen (the same way in Russian you can meet "он работает На радио, она - диктор НА телевидении"). Sometimes you should just remember: "НА хуторе", but "В деревне", but idiomatically "первый парень НА деревне" (it doesn't mean in village, it means among people in this village).
