I love fried chicken. It's not my vice or anything. I don't need it. But I'd say I like it as much as most Americans do.
Despite its popularity and numerous locations, I can count how many times I've been to KFC on one hand. Not really sure why. Just one of those things guess.
Seeing as how the girlfriend and I live across the street from a KFC, I decided we'd make the short trek as we were getting hungry and had no food on hand. Upon entering the drive-thru, we were legitimately confounded at the menu. It just didn't make sense to us for some reason. Almost everything on the menu was for several people. There were two cars behind us at this point. I had to actually get out of line and go to the back of the line because we had no idea what to order. I've never had to do that before (this is mostly my fault, but the menu still sucks).
We got home and started to dig in to our respective 2pc meals. The first, and smaller piece I started to tear apart yielded almost zero viable meat to eat. I mean it. I'd guess maybe 7% by volume. The rest was just bones, cartilage, and other such non-food materials you might expect. It was like opening a really awesome looking present with a great bow and gift wrap to find that it was mostly just cardboard and a few nickels. The second piece, which was actually pretty damn big, looked infinitely more promising. Nope. Same deal. Though I'd bump the percentage of actual meat to about 15%. Ridiculous. I was actually confused as to how that was even possible. It's like this particular chicken wasn't slaughtered, but rather, starved to death before being fried in the Kentucky style.
I can't believe I spent $15 on this. It was a snack at best.
If I spent $15 at the Taco Bell down the road, I'd still be eating it.
Complaint over.
