What is the best thing about KFC?

[HAMSTER INSPECTOR]

The chicken is not the best, the fries ore OK, the cole slaw is not that great. The only thing that good about KFC is the sauce. I get the big container and mix it up with some rice and its better than all that other stuff.

 

[papasmerf]

There are fewer of them these days

That is a good thing

 

[hwic]

The smell when you're walking by and they've just finished a batch. That's the only thing good about it.

"Sauce", by that you mean the beige-brown gravy?

FYI: that "gravy" comprises of fat and burnt debris from the bottom of the deep fryers (since it is most intense in flavour), water and a mystery gravy mixture that is exclusive to KFC. Mix all together and strain. Voila, "gravy".

KFC may be going out of style in North America. The move away from deep fried foods and the general health kick have closed many KFC's. But they are going strong, in fact even growing in the rest of the world. Not too bad of a legacy for a dude from a small town in Indiana (but made his mark on the world in Kentucky).

I loved the so called gravy. now I may throw up from all the "gravy" I have had over the years.. I don't mind the pop corn chicken

I do not think the gravy is made fryer scraping, its just cheaper to have it all in a pre made powder. If it is made of fat, all you have to do is freeze it and see if it turns white. Kentucky FRIED Chicken will not even say the word FRIED anymore for fear that they might scare customers away. Imagine if it was found out thathat their sauce is made of fat and fryer scrapings.

The best thing about KFC is when they are closed and not spewing out that foul smell.

 

[5hummer]

They've introduced a "Baked" chicken in the USA.
I wonder when it's coming to Canada?

 

[Ceiling Cat]

You mean like this?

No, really, it's made of scrapings from the pressurized fryers. How do I know? During my illustrious high school years (ahem, many many moons ago....), beer and gas money came from me working at a KFC ("Kentucky Fried Chicken" back in those days). Besides being the "cook" and eating way too much free chicken products, I personally made countless batches of "gravy" in said manner. This was the corporate gravy. There was even a corporate manual to do it this way, with details on the ratio of deep fryer crap, water and the gravy powder mix. You don't see the fryer crap because the brew is strained before it becomes "gravy". Regardless, it's tasty stuff

Who knows what the secret behind McDonald's and Burger King sauces may be....

 

[Stoo]

Best thing?

Driving right past it. The stuff is gross.

 

[djk]

I love their wrapstars.

 

[blueman]

nothing personal just having fun with the question

Let's try to list other things just a good as KFC!
I'll go first
- nuclear accident
- herpes
- HIV
- melting of the polar ice caps
- train wreck
- my bungee cord snaps
- roller coaster goes off the tracks ...
This is fun. Someone else pick one
(Oh yea KFC is disgusting)

 

[rama putri]

Not eating it the best thing about KFC.

 

[K Douglas]

I like the gravy and their macaroni salad (not together of course)

 

[nosidam]

Nothing. Go to Popeyes! The chicken is so much better, because you can eat it straight up without ketchup! That's how good it is.

 

[y2kmark]

Sure ...

Do they have any restaurants in Kentucky?

Gyaos.

But they just say "Fried Chicken" on the sign!

 

[Rantsalot]

...

nosidam has the right idea but I am not a fan of Popeye's.

Better alternatives in my opinion would be St. Hubert and Swiss Chalet.
