    In China when the KFC brand translated their slogan "Finger licking good " it was directly translated to "finger eating good".

    Silly Yanks!

    In America KFC is known as Kids fattening Corner

    KFC has always varied because the franchises aren't strictly monitored like McDonalds.

    Naw - you need to go back to when it was Pat Grace's Famous Fried Chicken - Pat claimed he had the original recipe directly from colonel sanders.

    Haven't had Pat Graces in well over 20 years - but I can still remember how delicious it was. I never realised it was a chain, I thought it was just 1 stand alone shop. Are they still going anywhere?

    I've visited KFC in Mahon Point in Cork 3 times in 2016. Each time the chicken pieces were very dry and the chicken burger and chips were stone cold. It's a disgrace. When I was a kid in the 80s and teen in the 90s I remember looking forward to this treat after a day out and the chicken was always delicious and juicy everytime with flavoursome crispy coating and nothing was ever stone cold. Are there no standards anymore?

    I had the exact same experience the last few times.

    Gave up now, even filled in their customer satisfaction thingy online, got an email back that the Area Manager would bring up the next time he met the staff. That's great mate but never again for me.

    When I brought back the cold chips they just dipped them in the oil and gave me more of them back. Hard and burnt then!!

    Stopped off recently at a KFC, hadnt had one in ages and was looking forward to it.

    The chicken itself was fine but the fabled coating has lost all of its flavour.

    When did this happen ?

    When did it have flavour beyond that of salt?

    The one here in Limerick is grand. No complaints. Their new curry sauce, while very watery, is quite nice, like a chinese curry.

    But, none of ye know what nice gravy is unless ye have been to The Chicken Hut. Scumbag central, but sweet baby Jesus is the gravy amazing!

    It has flavour alright. Salt and grease are flavours. Just not pleasant flavours.

    You know it's made from the dregs of the coating from the bottom of the fryer don't you?!

    Chicken? There's a reason why it changed the name to KFC.

    It's still called Kentucky Fried Chicken :rolleyes:

    In 2016, the importer for meat/poultry in China were found to be supplying the Yum group, the franchise holder for KFC and McDonalds in China with out of date meat and poultry. Funny thing was that McDonalds were still allowed to sell their current stock of chicken nuggets because they contained virtually no chicken.
    That wasn't the importer, it was the processor, OSI, who are one of the biggest meat processors in the world. They lost the contract in China and had managers/executives jailed over the scandal, but still have the contract pretty much everywhere else.

    And saying there's virtually no chicken in McD's nuggets is just ill-informed nonsense.

    Grace's in Rathmines closed suddenly just over two weeks ago. All the fixtures and fittings still seem to be there but the shop hasn't opened since.

    Yeah the gravy is all the scrapings from the bottom of the fryer..saw a clip of it online.

    The KFC in The Square in Tallaght is disgraceful.
    Chicken is dripping in grease and the restaurant itself is a kip; dirty tables and floors and overflowing bins.

    Oh and the chips are the worst. Floppy undercooked tasteless chips.

    Hmm i didnt like kfc at all last time I was there. It was ridiculously expensive the chicken was poor quality and the breading on it honestly tasted ****. I didnt even finish, it was just significantly worse quality than what any other fast food restaurant serves which isn't a title you want to hold to your name

    One of the better DIY recipes I've tried:

    http://www.thereciperebel.com/the-best-oven-fried-chicken/

    'Oven Fried' so not as decadent as KFC but the butter (partially) adds some guilt. I challenge you to find a child who won't eat this....and it's simple to prepare.

    You can get Panko in the Asian section of most supermarkets. Though 'Paxo' breadcrumbs are an acceptable (just about) substitute.

    The exact same as all Battery chickens in Ireland...

    Unless you only buy free range (in which case fair fcuks).

    Battery chickens that anyone uses.
    But specifically breeding chickens to have no beaks or feathers and multiple legs?

    Ah here. Nothing is bred to have extra legs, and the loss of feathers is down to the cramped conditions, same as most battery farms. This is too serious for AH...

    I suggest you stop reading the Enquirer.

    Please please say you are just joking and are not that gullible?
