It's stupid expensive. Just an 8pc of chicken is $19. I can go to the deli in a grocery store and get an 8pc for $7, and it wont be overcooked either. These fast food places here in the USA do not pay their employees well so they put in little effort and just dont care which is why it's horrible everywhere. One exception is Panda Express, they pay their employees really well and I never had a bad experience.

KFC was never good. Popeyes is the KFC format but with good food.

Say what you want about KFC now their tenders are good. I get the $5 2 pc chicken combo (Includes 2 pieces of fried chicken with a side, biscuit and a drink. Choose Variety (breast & wing) or Drum & Thigh Combo.)

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Still amazing in Japan. In fact, when I went there in Japan the first time, my first thought was "this is what KFC used to taste like in the 80s and 90s in the US".
I blame the weird chemicals they've been putting in everything. Here in the US, it's a race to the bottom, and the idea is to charge as much as possible for something as cheaply made as possible. Quality barely plays into this equation.

Chic-fil-a is a chicken restaurant chain in America that is highly homophobic and doesn't operate on Sundays that's why it's called Jesus Chicken™ and the drive thru lanes are always really long for a chicken sandwich that's just good not amazing.

I just figured people could figure out I'm typing my opinion without me typing "in my opinion" after every sentence. Maybe I was mistaken.

The only American fast food that isn't trash in Spain is Burger King, which is surprisingly good and tastes like real food. On the other hand, KFC feels completely artificial and we have local options with actual chicken and fries. Young people go there because it's a meeting place just like Starbucks.

Well saying no one likes something is imposing your opinion on other people. Rewording it to I don't like something is accurate.

Very few modern corporations consider a quality product to be a priority.
Once it isn’t feasible to “expand” a brand anymore (you can truly only open so many locations) it turns into a race to the bottom for quality vs profit. Cheaper and cheaper goods are used to make the product whose price they raise.

It used to be good in Canada. I think they changed the recipe and cut corners. Most fast food restaurants became trash. Tim Hortons is the worst

Main draw was always the distinct spice mix.

I always try to remember why I once liked it so much. Had a big drop off here or I am just slave to my nostalgia. Maybe I just love fried chicken.
Have been always a bit disappointed when I got it the last few times, now I am either going for Korean fried chicken shops or I do my own.
edit: oh and they took the spicy option off the menu, now its only original recipe

Had the same question with my coworker today about hooters. He told me they were all closing. I hadn't been to one in 15 years but he was saying the food got really bad

A three in one restaurant sounds horrible as a concept. Never liked these combination restaurants, in my area it was distinctly Long John Silvers with some other restaurant and the drop in quality is noticeable.Who expects a place like this to make good fried chicken? Or tacos. Or pizza?
KFC, like Pizza Hutt and ESPECIALLY Taco Bell (I've worked one) were ALWAYS trash tier places, but they were often the ONLY real option, at least where I grew up.
But now, decades later, the choices for all three of these food style (if you can even call the stuff Taco Bell serves a 'style') have innumerable far superior options, both franchises and actual real locally owned and operated joints.
If I had to go get franchise fried chicken, it's Bojangles as #1, then Popeyes, then maybe churches. But really, I'd just get chick-fil-la and call it a day. Zaxby's if desperate.
Wouldn't step into a Pizza Hutt or Taco Bell even to rob the place. Where I live I'm blessed with an abundance of taco type places and now there are so many pizza joints its ridiculous.
It's worse now, with "dark kitchens" that just thaw any variety of foods (you only HOPE they are actually cooking this stuff onsite) and sell them all for delivery only. You think there is some new Greek place and order from ubereats but nope, its a place that pretends to be 10 different restaurants.

The few KFCs that still do buffets are treasures. I mean, it's still slop, but it's UNLIMITED SLOP.
I dont agree with 99% of your posts, but this one is so 100% spot on its scary.

In Japan they pan fry with sake, and it makes the juiciest chicken I've ever had. But you're right, considering how easy it is to make top tier chicken at home, it's surprising these places still exist
Well that explains part of the problem too. When people have such little standards for themselves, corporations can get away with it. Normally competition would nudge things in the right direction

I still somewhat like KFC mostly out of nostalgia but what I don't understand is how KFC is so much more expensive compared to something like Popeye's. Their chicken is tiny too.
Great stuff. I would go more often but I'm too lazy drive 30 minutes just for fried chicken.

I have to thank KFC, because after it gave me such bad diarrhea for 3 days in 2009, I decided to basically forgo eating at any fast food place and now just make my own. Chicken, burgers, pizza, burritos, tacos, I just do at home where the food is fresh and clean.
The last time I actually ate at a fast food restaurant was an IN-N-Out about 7 years back and that was because I was on a road trip with the family and on the way the kids were hungry so we stopped over to get some food.
As some have stated in the thread, it's much better to cook your own. You have online recipes, youtube, and air fryers are now pretty cheap to do it.

KFC back in the day was the best (besides mom's). I once asked my then 5-year-old granddaughter if she wanted KFC. Her response was "I don't want freaky fried chicken." While she misunderstood me, the statement stands. It sucks in my area now. I hardly eat fast food anymore but when I do, I avoid places like KFC and Dairy Queen that were considered a go to when I was a kid.
Don't get me started on the price of fast food these days...

Growing up Kentucky Fried Chicken was amazing. Suddenly it’s KFC. Then it starts to slide.
Sorry I always loved Roy Roger’s chicken more.
Only time I ever had KFC that didn’t agree with me was in Kuala Lumpur.
The had spent a month in Asia for my honeymoon me and my wife were eating street foods in Thailand , Bali and Malaysia without issues) the one night we decide we want something different we had KFC. Something went wrong and our stomachs were odd afterward.

BBQ Chicken
No.1 Korean Premium Chicken. Best of the Best Quality! The crispy chicken skin at bb.q Chicken is a result of a two-day prep process that includes marination, battering, breading and frying. The wings are also available in flavors like Golden Original; Soy Garlic; Secret Spicy; Honey Garlic; and...

I'll get it when I'm brutally hungover and it's ok, the chips are still shit tho I cannot work out why they can't fix that. The hot wings and gravy are very good. The price is so absurdly high nowadays I actually learned how to make half decent fried chicken at home.

Don't know if it went wrong. A lot more places opened up. People are eating healthier and/or trying other different types of food. There's more of a selection now. Back in the day it used to be the fried chicken spot and it isn't anymore. I haven't had it in a while, I can't eat fried chicken anymore, but last time I did it tasted exactly the same as I remember it.
