I cruise a lot in Caribbean. ... every island has a Kfc....lol... every one is better than Canadian Kfc.... they use real chickens, not 6 week old chemically enhanced chickens....here in Canada..?
Trinidad has a good spicy KFC.Taste even better if you try it with their spicy hot sauce.
I prefer the unbattered fries there compared to the battered ones here. Their coleslaw and biscuits ....
Although the recipe remains pretty much the same throughout the world, I do believe they do alter the recipe to suit certain palates.
I've heard they once had a spicier recipe in Canada but it was not well receive by the Canadian palate.
I never tried KFC in the USA as there are much better things to try on my usually short stays down there, like Chik Filet chicken biscuits.
Many have said it does taste better though and you can even get unusual options like chciken livers in places like Virginia.
I think what made an already bad product worse in Canada was the move to vegetable oil for frying instead of lard/shortening which was traditionally used.
Plus the cheap owner operators that use oil a bit too long before changing.
Oil that has lost it's body will obviously not cook as well and tend to absorb into the foods more.
If you want to taste something good at KFC in Canada, maybe try the hot wings where it's available.
It's not available everywhere and a little expensive, but it's prepared in the USA and shipped here in limited amounts, and so tastes much different to the stuff here.
I used to like Famous recipe in the Caribbean. I think Lee's Famous Recipe is The colonels brothers concoction out in Western Canada.
Many were able to differentiate some taste with the Scott's chicken villas chicken compared to the mainstream KFCs but think all the Scott's are closed up.
