Ever wake up thinking of a specific food?  Then you eventually make it your mission for that day to get that food.
I woke up earlier thinking of chicken.  So I got up and drove in the sub-zero temperatures to KFC.
I picked up one of their 3 piece meals.  Instead of cole slaw, which I can't stand, I substituted it with an extra side of mashed potatoes.
KFC's mash potatoes and gravy are fantastic!  I wish I could get the recipe for that gravy they use.

Anyway, I had to choose between original or extra crispy.
I like both, but tend to prefer the original recipe.
The original is some of the best chicken anywhere.   :thumbup:

How about you?
Original or extra crispy?

Either, it doesn't matter.

I generally like extra crispy.  For sides I really love their mashed and gravy, and since I can't stand their coleslaw I usually just get a double helping of mashed and gravy.

I don't eat at KFC because we went there once, and at the time we thought my kid was allergic to some milk products (whey to be exact), and not only would they not LOOK to see if their food had any in it, they kept saying "I'm sure there isn't any in it", immediately after asking what whey was in the first place. Kid had recently spent almost a week in the hospital and I was supposed to take some idiot's word for it that their food didn't have an ingredient the same idiot didn't even know existed 60 seconds ago. They've never gotten a penny from me since.

Original, that's some awesome chicken.  Extra crispy is nice for a change, but that's about it.  Love their potatoes and gravy too. 

Original recipe, although it is delicious, should really be called extra-greasy.  I love the crunchy style.  I've always like their cole slaw too, but we rarely eat there. 

I don't go very often, but I do get a craving every once in awhile. My current favorite is original flavor with hot sauce. I seem to put hot sauce on more and more things as I get older. My wife's theory is I burned out my taste buds long ago.

What, doesn't everyone put hot sauce on their breakfast home fries? Or in their spaghetti?

I'm on the pro-cole slaw side. Love their fries too (with hot sauce, of course), but I'm trying to lose weight so I don't get those these days.

Original yo.  I said it before and I'll say it again -  The Colonol didn't spend years perfecting his 17 secret herbs and spices for you to go and order extra crispy.  You want extra crispy, go to Popeyes.

Extra crispy, b***hes.

Even before I became Vegetarian I didn't like KFC chicken that much. I did enjoy their side dishes though like Biscuits and cole slaw. Thinking about it I did like their popcorn chicken.

There's asmost no chance the employees would know.  It's shipped from a secret location rather than made from scratch on-site.  But most fried chicken recipes use millk products, as a way of making the coating stick on while maximizing the number of calories from fat.

Used to always get dragged into KFC by the 'ol ball & chain after I'd be barred from some pub on a friday night. They never had much left, can't really remember if I had original or extra crispy. Damn nice when you're completely drunk and starving, but really it's just aload of trash to me that I'd rarely ever touch.

Oh those KFC guys know what allergens are in their products!  It's on their website!  Foodservice employees are beat about the head with allergen information!

Anyway, there's no chicken in Alaska. It's just Elk sprinkled with pine cone shavings and they tell everyone it's chicken. 

Lol, there are more chicken in Alaska than Elk. . .

Mmmmmm . . . Popeyes. . . . yummy. ..

Yeah, but it only takes one elk to equal about 50 chickens  :tongueout:.


If I want fried chicken, I go to Popeye's. I've never been overly impressed with KFC. Plus, KFC doesn't have red beans & rice, and Popeye's biscuits are way better.

KFC chicken has changed. Have you noticed the pieces are monstrous, it's like they got them from chickens on steroids and they are so full of water when you bite into them they squirt everywhere. Those are the breasts

So now when i do go on the very rare occasion i get original, the dinner is usually the leg and thigh so i get small pieces and the flavor is better. Something about extra crispy i can't stand anymore, i wanna go back to the day when there was no extra crispy. When we used to swing by KFC and grab a bucket of chicken with the sides.

Mashed potatoes are like soup and taste like a shoe. Slaw isn't bad so the only sides worth getting are slaw and the potato wedges. Biscuits are still good tho

KFC just isn't what it used to be.

OH Kentucky Fired Chicken ... living in Kentucky and living around about a 10,000 chicken barns where most of the chicken farms for every fast food joint in the world comes from and knowing the filth, disease, slime and hormones they put in them and they live in. I tend to get only free range range chicken or the ones living on my farm. I do not know of a single chicken farmer that eats chicken barn raised chickens.

If you look at this image, every white line is the roof of a chicken barn, each barn holds about 180,000 chickens and if you drag around the map you'll see them everywhere ... they stink ... no reek and have done more to destroy the nature water supply than anything else thanks to nitrogen and ammonia run off. And this information is brought to by someone who is NOT a ANIMAL rights activist nor a tree hugger.

As a side note you can't drive anywhere without seeing dead chicken or the side of the road where a cage came open and some chicken fell out. So the joke here is ... "Why did the chicken cross the road? .... It didn't make it."

But, in all reality, the way to get good chicken is to get them when they're young, BUT, when they're young, they're small. One way to make something bigger is to exercise it, , but then they have no fat and tough meat. THAT is where steroids and hormones come in: They make young birds have lots of meat that is still young and tender, without losing the fat. That equals YUMMY. I wonder how much of those 'roids and hormones stay intact through the animal metabolizing it, then being slaughtered, then cooked, then digested by a person. I would think it would be broken down by them, but I'm no biochemist.

Yeah, it's not much different at the other animals farms either. It's disgusting and sad. I remember reading awhile back about some company or farmer that had the idea of mass producing animals for food but in a more friendly environment where they had more of a life and didn't live on sewage filled concrete. We don't think about where our food comes from. And strangely cancer rates are on the rise, not that i'm saying it's related to our food but it's probably everything. We live near more power grids, eat god knows what..sure low doses of some things may be fine but when we get it continually and from other sources our bodies are polluted.

Years ago i tried to make an effort to buy/consume less products with "High fructose corn syrup".  Also i like meat but sometimes it grosses me out so I never tend to eat large quantities of it.  I've had farm fresh eggs and they are very good, my brother raises chickens and goats and all that..i think they're going to be making their own cheese and talked about slaughtering their goats for food.

But everytime i eat KFC i get sick, my stomach erupts in a wave of fury. So that's why i rarely eat there. You know who has great fried chicken? Walmart and Tom Thumb or other grocery stores. They have small pieces, breaded and fried with a great flavor. The colonel is rolling in his grave, in the end he didn't like the direct KFC was going. He hated the mashed potatos and used to travel around to various locatiosn to make sure they were cooking his food the way he wanted it and not changing it. But as I remember from the documentary they kept changing the ingredients and way they cooked their food. It was sad how the company treated him..i remember the bio i watched being quite revealing in details i never knew

The Col was bought out many years ago but remained the spokes person, he never really gasp that he had no authority over anything after you sell the rights to something. Anywho ...

Wally World which I avoid like the plague buys there chickens from the same farms that KFC, Kroger and the rest do. There is are huge Tyson Chicken plants dotted all over the mid south and Pilgrims Pride plants everywhere both big time chicken producers. If you ever go one you'll not want to eat chicken ever again. So I raise my own or buy from others that do ... odd how a area with so many industrial chicken farms has so many people raising their own ... hmmm makes you think.

We also have massive cattle, mussel, catfish and fresh water shrimp farms around here too, the aquaculture isn't too bad, but some of the cattle farms are violating something I know. These are so called free range cattle, not barn raised but still they stand 2 feet deep in muck and crap at the feeders. It's really quite vile. I don't even think about hogs, but those a to nasty and smelly to raise anyway near the house.
So once again a friend of mine and myself raise our own cow or two every year, I'm a serious carnivore but I can clearly see why someone would become a vegan ... then again if they knew all the chemicals and animal waste being sprayed or dumped on the crops then you have to wonder what would they eat?

Aw ignorances is bliss. 

Don't care for fried chicken as if I eat a bit too much I get to be friends with the toilet for a few minutes.  I would rather have chicken grilled overall as I enjoy that then fried chicken.  If I would have to get KFC I would get original.

Original, by a country mile.
