had KFC last night

[QChawks]

I was explaining to Mrs QC (no pic) about how Kentucky Fried Chicken started after watching that History channel show. She says she hadn’t had it in 25+ years so of course I have to get it for the family.

I cannot stop farting and my stomach sounds like it’s angry at me

Every year we have a Kentucky Derby party, and I get a bunch of KFC as sort of a gag theme. The chicken itself is pretty good, but the sides haven’t been upgraded since the 60’s. Mushy crap that puts me in mind if middle school cafeteria food.

Thankfully, you are still with us.

 

[franklinman]

Ah, you have had your laxative for the week.

 

[Irwin Fletcher10]

On the very rare occasion that I get KFC, I just eat it while sitting on the toilet as a precaution.

I’m thinking about Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich delivery. But you need the Popeye’s App, so I’m torn.

It’s not that I can’t easily put the free App on the phone. It’s just that having a Popeye’s App On your phone is such a fat guy thing to have. You really have no more defense against being called a fat guy. At that point, there’s no turning back...you’re essentially Peter Griffin.

Me- I’m not fat! How dare you!

HROT Bastard- Dude, you have a Popeye's App on your phone. That’s proof.

 

[Rifler]

just drive to Popeye's for your momentary relapse,.. then you can maintain the thin guy fantasy...

 

[SeaPA]

RIP in Peace.

I used to enjoy it as a kid. The Iowa City location on hwy 6 was so disgusting and dirty, and the food was so bad it forever ruined it for me.

I read they make their employees wear masks. So they are better than most restaurants in Iowa.

 

[Run&Blade]

I like pizza ranch better.

I would go to Applebees and let them sneeze on my food before I would go to KFC. And I'm a once a year Applebees guy.

Shitting is one thing you will not have problems with for a couple days.

You'll have your sodium requirements for the week squared away in one sandwich. Enjoy.

Just remember, thee who smelt it, dealt it!

 

[Fan In Black]

their slaw is fire.

 

[QChawks]

After the second cup joe things really got active. Weird noises and sharp pains.

now I sit on the throne giving birth to a large brown baby

Haha, yeah I stopped there once or twice on way to Paul's of FnF. Awful

 

[3boysmom]

I used to like KFC. The one by our house is combined with LJS and is just awful. Even when we used to eat out fairly regularly we didn’t go. I used to love their mashed potatoes and gravy. Now I wonder what the heck was wrong with me.

 

[SeaPA]

Those little parfait desserts are good. I am assuming they still have them, have not been to KFC in years.

 

[goldmom]

Their pot pies are not the worst thing ever. I had one - two years ago. The rest is a no thank you.

 

[bagdropper]

I like pizza ranch better.

Yep.

KFC original recipe, when fresh and properly made - can still be pretty good - but is simply way too inconsistent any more. Popeye's is equally hit and miss, at least locally it is.

PR broasted chicken is always great. I've never had a bad piece.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Their Nashville Hot chicken is a double edged word. The oil helps the diarrhea come out easier but it stings a bit more.

The inconsistency is probably because KFC and Popeye's bread their chicken in house, and Pizza Ranch serves a frozen pre-breaded product.

 

[Rifler]

KFC used to do catfish on Fridays during lent and I remember it as being pretty good,.. do they still do that?

Opposite take: cole slaw and mashed potatoes are great; chicken stinks.

Makes sense as far as PR is concerned. Been to roughly 8 or so different stores, chicken is always the same...about the only difference I notice is how old the fryer oil is. The darker the chicken is, the older the oil is.

PR cooks theirs to order, too. If my memory is good, KFC cooks very large batches, then loads them all onto a tray and put them in a holding rack.

So...with KFC timing is everything. Go there mid afternoon, or late evening...chances are that chicken has sat on a rack at the very least a couple hours after frying. Get there right after they pull the chicken out of the cookers...probably gonna be a lot better.

Nothing is wrong with you. Their mashed potatoes and gravy were awesome, but something changed. Either the recipe was altered, or they just quit caring about quality control.

 

[Scott559]

I get KFC when I want to lube my vehicle with the grease oozing out my pores.

Worked KFC for a while when I was in college and back then everything was done in relatively small batches and nothing was allowed to sit longer than 20 minutes before getting served or tossed....

Au contraire... when the cole slaw has the proper amount of liquid, there is no better cole slaw on the planet.

 

[LuteHawk]

Like every fast food franchise there is
the issue of quality control. The KFC
manager must assemble a good staff
to produce a good product.

At many places you see signs: We are
now hiring. That can be a red flag
that the turnover of employees is great
and the food is not great.

You know the place sucks, when their sides are better than their main item. Oh, last time I had their biscuit, it resembled a hockey puck. If I'm getting fried chicken, it's from Publix, Popeyes, or Bojangles.
