  • KFC: Grilled Chicken

    After watching numerous KFC grilled chicken commericals with lots of happy paid people claiming the grilled chicken was delicious and hearing how Opera was all raving over the new grilled chicken, I had to give it a try myself.  So I dropped by the KFC along the way home to pick up some grilled chicken for my dinner.  I'm doing this for all my readers so they wouldn't have to suffer like I will.

    The inside of KFC is unpleasantly small and cheap.  It's like Mc Donald's back in the mid 80's. 

    The $3.99 2-piece Grilled Chicken Meal:

    As you can see, the pieces of chicken are about the size of the biscuit which is about half the size of my closed fist.  It was really dinky small.  The look of the chicken skin made it look like it had been sitting under the light for half the day.  The biscuit was dry on the top from standing under the light and moist on the bottom from the condensation.  Mashed potatoes was soft and an even consistency.  Coleslaw was as you'd expect from KFC.

    After taking a bite of the grilled chicken:

    Surprisingly it was moist and juicy inside.  I just wished there was more chicken though.  The skin was like wax paper but tasty.  Overall the grilled chicken tasted like the rotisserie chicken you can buy at your local grocery store.

    It's tough to beat the price of 2 piece grilled chicken and 2 sides for $3.99.  The chicken and sides are editable but not really enjoyable.  It really wasn't that bad or that great.  I could've got a bigger and juicier chicken from Pathmark grocery store.  Another good thing about this light meal is that I didn't suffer the stomach problems normally associated with after eating lots of fried chicken from KFC.

    @catch_moi_attention i really like their extra cripsy. do they sell those anymore? I like popeye's chicken too since they're really cripsy and usually have larger pieces but i wish their seasoning was more tasty.

    it does look moist and juicy inside! but still fast food, so super bad for you. I've seen bad stuff on the peta site about how KFC treats their chickens!!

    i tried it, it made me sick.


    I agree the chicken are tiny!... I'm a small girl and it did not fill me up. such a disappointment!

    @lizzie_wizzie oh yeah the PETA video did look pretty bad.  I heard there's better treatment in Canada.


    @osmundaregalis they're good snacks tho!  I just hope they never increase the price but I highly doubt that they wouldn't.


    @stevew918 no problem. it's all for my readers.  I've been wanting to go to long john silver's cuz of all the commericals about their shrimps and grilled meals but it's so far.


    @swtlilkathy wow that is bad. I got sick from Chipotle the first time i had it so i gave it a bad review. But subsequent visits were a lot more positive so i need to update that review.

    Extra Crispy FTW! And how come there's no gravy on your mashed potatoes?

    BTW, that profile pic of yours looks DELICIOUS!
