I grew up eating KFC original recipe in the States. When I came to Canada, I was shocked at the terrible chicken at KFC. They say that they use the colonel's original recipe, but it is NOTHING like the original recipe in the States. The batter in the US is so much better, with a nice thick crust, and lots of herbs. Very tasty. The KFC original recipe in Canada is horrendous! Just a very thin batter, and no taste whatsoever. I recently went to the States, and had real KFC in a long time. I have NO idea why KFC Canada is using the worst batter ever. Even homemade fried chicken is better. At least Popeyes has a nice crispy batter. Will never go to KFC Canada again.

Well have you tried the spicy zinger combo. It's like the big crunch but it's only 5.99 for the combo.
They sell it cause people will still pay for it.
Long history in the link below, but in short Sanders moved to Canada and focused on the brand here, and it was supposedly better than what was being served in the states (remember Scotts Chicken Villa?) After his death Pepsico tookover in the 80's.

I thought I was the only one who thought KFC in Canada didn't taste the same as in the US or Caribbean where I grew up. I always recall it being full of flavour with a nice crispy skin, not the soggy rubber skin and bland taste in Canada.
Sometime while I was living outside of Canada for the first decade or so of this milennium, KFC went for a shit. Their chicken used to be OK before then, but it is way subpar now. Not just the batter (which, yeah, they fucked with the recipe and made it worse), but the chicken itself is flavourless shite.
KFC in Canada should be called KF pigeons. The tiny pieces of chicken look like they are pigeon sized. I do not think it is healthy to eat chicken with a thick rubbery skin on it.
KFC used to be good, I miss their mixed vegetable salad. They really went downhill fast here, it's really sad.
Aren't they known as "dirty bird" now?

Blame KFC Canada's fall on John Bitove and Priszm

Bitove is a slick "businessman" who took control of KFC marketing, changed the formula and used smaller chickens.

When I lived in Vancouver I lived close to a Church's Chicken, and it was a lot better than KFC. I just Googled it and found there is one in Toronto, at St. Clair & Dufferin. Anyone tried it? I don't live anywhere near there.
I agree, off is garbage compared to what it was in the 70's and 80's growing up. However I found a small chain called Cheffete in the carribean that tastes EXACTLY how kfc used to taste. If you are headed to Barbados or the other West Indian islands, don't miss it
KFC back in the 70s & 80s was great then for like 15 years it was terrible(kentucky fried rats),IMHO it is better now,but still not as good as it is in the US or even in thailand where the KFCs there,the chicken taste almost like it use to be here
up until a few years ago,there was(i dont know now) a all u can eat kfc buffet in bluffton ohio(just off I-75)
