Do KFC really flour/batter their chicken onsite??

amdublin

Anyone ever work in KFC?!

You know that (really annoying) ad for said chicken gaff where annoying young fella goes on about worth making good food while preparing the chicken in KFC.

Is that really true?!!!

I would assume the chicken arrives already battered/floured/whatever.

Anyone know?

If they don't, I'd say they'd be in a lot of trouble for false advertising. Though I'd say they have some loophole or other.

KFC sell chicken?

mickdw

Im sure they get it all in crumbed and frozen like everyone else.

Dive of a place, has to be the scabbiest chips on earth.. literally 9 chips.

waiting times are absolutely terrible, even when the place is empty.. their chicken isn't awful, though.

Of course they batter them onsite.
It's the "chicken" bit that may be misleading.

My thoughts exactly.

I thought they got reported for a misleading ad before for implying the chicken comes in every day, when it doesnt

That would explain the small print at the bottom of the ad.

don't be ridiculous.

the chickens are killed before they get to KFC - by professional batterers, who trained on their respective spouses before hand.

KFC TASTES LIKE SHÎTE!

Could have sworn that I read somewhere from a KFC employee that the mix comes pre-prepared, which is a mixture of spices and powdered egg and flour and the employees dip the chicken in water, then in the mixture and then pressure fry it. This could be wrong though.

I got a loophole once in my bucket. Never going near the place again.

That fuucking ad gets on my nerves! Fuuck off you wannabe chef!

whatdoicare

Dunno about KFC but supermacs do- I f**king hated that job! So, KFC probably do- it's only flour and salt&pepper, takes like five seconds to do.

Their hotwings are the best chicken wings ever.

I think the current ad advertises minimum 3 times a week. Going by some of the chicken I've had there I reckon it comes in on a monday, tuesday, and wednesday. Last time I had it was on a sunday. It wasn't good.

yes its true my friend worked there and used to flour the chicken

They use a breading table to make the coating, then the batter mixture is part of the same table. Then the rat is dipped into that and put into a pressure fryer.

I wouldnt care, its still fooking delicious.

It's the gravy that is their real secret weapon. A KFC without gravy is like a song without a tune. Pick up one of your nine KFC chips, put it in your mouth, NOTHING. A flat tuneless, Jedwardesque drone running over your taste buds.

Dip one of those nine chips in gravy and BAM, you've got The Beatles singing YEAH YEAH YEAH all the way down your digestive tract. GOO GOO G'JOOB GOO GOO GOO G'JOOB.

Probably the best fast food related product in the world. And that includes dominos chicken kickers.

Yes. Rolling a dead bird in breadcrumbs does not a chef make.

Although there is some greatness in the way he bangs his wrist together to remove the excess flour, no?

Was talking to a chicken the other day, she said this crossing the road thing is really annoying to chickens, asked how would I feel if I had my motives questioned every time I crossed the road.
Just passing it on.

Okay, there's a little flourish there, but not enough for me to admire him.

KFC stands for "Kant Find Chicken".

Only people from the North-West know what a Four Lights is :pac:

Though I agree, best chicken ever. I don't know how anyone can go to KFC when there's a 4 Lights in the vicinity...

Ah come on, there's lots of different types of chef, same as there are lots of different types of everything in life. Teachers for example, you get someone giving a few music lessons who call themselves a teacher, and a principal of a school who will still calls himself a teacher. World of difference between the two responsibility and job wise, yet both are still teachers.

Dont be so critical of the guy.

So you're not really a chef but a chicken breadcrumbs roller?

The original KFC in Ireland was once done for selling rabbit. I'd love Kentucky fried rabbit.

I'd say you read that. It's pretty specific to just make it up

I actually love KFC, but maybe only have it once a year or so.
