So I had KFC for the first time in at least 15 years. Put it this way, the last time I was there was when you walked in, immediately got into a lineup, there was a stainless steel counter with the sides in it, and they'd cook the stuff through a window in a back wall. They still have roughly the same layout but it looks a lot different today.
I was never a KFC fan. I always found their chicken greasy and messy. So I didn't miss it at all over the years. For whatever reason (probably advertising) I decided to try it out again.
The chicken was just as greasy as I remember it. I saw them cooking it in an oven, whereas I think they used to deep fry it? So in theory it should be at least a little less greasy. In theory...
I got the 4-piece and of that only 2 pieces had any decent white meat on them. One of the pieces was really good and the other was passable. But 2 out of 4 ain't cuttin' it!
Fries were crappy. I remember them being better. They're no McDonalds or Swiss Chalet fries.
Mashed potatoes weren't bad but a little too smooth (like, so smooth it made me wonder if there were any real potatoes in it!).
I didn't get a salad because I know what their dixie slaw tastes like (you can buy it anywhere).
So overall it was okay but it'll probably be another 15 years before I go back. Although I did see an ad for grilled KFC chicken so I might try that when it makes its way to Canada.
Oh yeah, it's kinda expensive for fast food. My meal cost $10. Not exceptionally expensive but definitely on the higher end of the fastfood pricing scale.
I think I'm going to try Popeyes to see how they compare. I think I've had it once and the chicken was much crispier and didn't ooze as much grease. We'll see!
