I just had an order of these, and wanted to warn all who are tempted to try them. They taste relitavely good, if your into the garlicky bread thing, I personally never got used to that
 The problem with them is, is that the minute you start chewing on just ONE, the bread-coating gets stuck to the roof of your mouth! And its not normal bread-coating, its oily, sticky, smelly bread-coating. It kinda looks like it is some sort of add-water type powder-turned hard-crumbly-molassis they just pour on the poor bare chicken pieces. I got so annoyed by the crud that I took a spoon to it and scraped it off! In conclusion: DONT TRY THEM! ==Chris _____________________

I know of someone who actually taste tested those strips here at the headquarters and said somewhat the same thing. I'm surprised they went ahead and put them out with such mixed reviews. I have had them before and they tasted great the time I did get them, but I've also seen quite a few people who can't stand them. Just like the boneless honey bbq wings. I loved those things as I loved chicken littles.
LOL For me those strips are just a spoon to get my BBQ sauce or honey mustard sauce fix. I wonder if the strips require some type of special cooking conditions that only a few KFC's manage to pull off or if its just personal taste. I don't know. I went to Colonel Sanders's original restraunt/house before it burned down and ate dinner a while back. haha they didn't have any strips on their menu. Just fried chicken and it must have been missing a few herbs and spices because it didn't taste all that great either or anything like KFC's chicken does now. Not really surprising I guess. |

KFC sucks, period. So does McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut and every other evil corporate fast food chain. If you actually knew what kind of "meat" goes into those things, how old it is and how many times its been kicked around on the floor by a frustrated employee, well, lets just say that whenever i go to my cafeteria i make sure i dont pick anything that has ground beef on it, because its almost certainly the ground up leftovers of yesterday's meal. If I'm lucky. Sometimes its even older.
Plus it's all horribly fat. It will take you one hour of biking to burn through a single big mac, not to mention the fries and cola. One hour of biking is impossible, I only do about 10-15 minutes every day, at most. I try not to eat out at all, if I can possibly avoid it. I ate some pizza last monday and it was just so horribly oily. Y'all need to chew on some of MY pizzas... where everything is made from scratch right in front of your eyes, the tomatos are real instead of some pureed crap, and the cheese comes in real slices. It's one heck of a lot faster and cheaper than pizza hut, not to mention healthy and better tasting. _____________________

 hivers:::If you ever eat fast food you should immediatly go to the emergency room and have your stomach pumped. Well to be honest I do like the Egg McMuffins and the pre-fab hash-browns. Aside from being yummy tastey, that can be used as a construction material in their uncooked state. |

Uhhh, are they REALLY *chicken* strips?
I generally cant stand any processed chicken. Look at the *meat* really closely...see the lil bubble shaped pockets? Ever seen that in a real piece of chicken? YUCKO! I would rather eat Spam. _____________________

KFC can't be compared to the likes of McDonalds!
If you look at a KFC, it can be positively, 100% identified as chicken. Even the little popcorn things. It's not processed or mechanically recovered - it's real chicken (the strips are breast I think) Compare and contrast with cheap chicken nuggets from the supermarket or an unidentifiable McDonalds chicken burger, both of which are a chicken-flavoured mechanically-recovered... substance... consisting of all the eyeballs, feet and little red flappy bits that they throw in. _____________________

KFC Pot Pies are the best. Right after the Tender Roast Sandwich. Not to be confused with any new fangled Roasted Strips, the Tender Roast sandwich is a non-breaded (boneless obviously) chicken breast on a bun. Add some Hot Sauce, and more hot sauce to dip the potato wedges in...
Do you guys all have the KFC / A&W places? Those are the best! 'Make it a float' with every meal! All that said if the topic is Chicken Strips and not KFC - Churches has the best chicken strips (and the best biscuits). Also, anyone know what is up with KFC cancelling their sweet n sour sauce????  _____________________

You wouldn't find me eating any of those greasy, fat, processed foods, well, except maybe Taco Bell but their meat is mostly soybean mash from what I heard.
I heard Kentucky Fried Chicken had to change their name to KFC because the product they are selling can't technically be called a chicken because it is bred to grow without bones or feathers for easier processing.(Urban myth?) Though their new product shown here looks like it may be interesting to try. _____________________

Of course I do, what, you expect me to charge people a fee when they eat at my place?  I like cooking, and I like having friends over for dinner. If you're ever in the neighborhood, you're invited. Just let me know you're coming and I'll even pick you up at the airport. _____________________

Uh, free bed, free TV, free intarweb and if you're a girl, well this isnt a mature forum, so use your imagination
This summer I'm having a couple of swedish friends over for about a month, and it's not like it's the first time i have people over... why, at this very moment there's a friend of mom's lying on the living room couch in her pijamas. My gf sometimes sleeps over, and I sleep over at her place on a regular basis, my grandma comes over every friday and stays until saturday... what can i say, I'm portuguese. We are more laid back. _____________________

Someone please tell me what part of the chicken the popcorn comes from. I'll eat KFC, but not popcorn chicken. Personally, I think the "popcorn" is the stuff the folks at the processing plant used to toss into the dumpster. Yep, good ol fashioned Beaks an Claws! |

Chicken just the way you like it:

Colonel Sanders would be rolling over in his grave. He was such a freak about how his food was served, he would stop in at his stores unannounced and if anything did not meet his standards, he would shut them down until they got it right. Keep in mind, its no longer Kentucky Fried Chicken, its KFC.
Im planning on going to go see a documentary film called, Super Size Me. Since this movie came out, McDonalds no longer offers a super size menu and has shifted their focus on offering a "healthy" menu. Here is a preview blurb about the film. Sorry if this is a side track, thought it was relevant since fast food in general started getting some talk on this thread. Why are Americans so fat? Find out in Super Size Me, a tongue in-cheek - and burger in hand -- look at the legal, financial and physical costs of America's hunger for fast food. Ominously, 37% of American children and adolescents are carrying too much fat and 2 out of every three adults are overweight or obese. Is it our fault for lacking self-control, or are the fast-food corporations to blame? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock hit the road and interviewed experts in 20 U.S. cities, including Houston, the "Fattest City" in America. From Surgeon Generals to gym teachers, cooks to kids, lawmakers to legislators, these authorities shared their research, opinions and "gut feelings" on our ever-expanding girth. During the journey, Spurlock also put his own body on the line, living on nothing but McDonald's for an entire month with three simple rules: 1) No options: he could only eat what was available over the counter (water included!) 2) No supersizing unless offered 3) No excuses: he had to eat every item on the menu at least once It all adds up to a fat food bill, harrowing visits to the doctor, and compelling viewing for anyone who's ever wondered if man could live on fast food alone. The film explores the horror of school lunch programs, declining health and physical education classes, food addictions and the extreme measures people take to lose weight and regain their health. Super Size Me is a satirical jab in the stomach, overstuffed with fat and facts about the billion-dollar industry besieged by doctors, lawyers and nutritionists alike. "Would you like fries with that?" will never sound the same! |

Well around here our McDs still offer super sized menus... and if by healthy you mean the "salads", they're as fat-ridden as the burgers.
McDonalds is actually OK compared to some of the "traditional" stuff we eat inside our homes. People have no concept of a healthy nutrition and think that everything their grandmas did was perfectly healthy. They then set out to cook salted pork and potatoes in lard, without any vegetables, unless you count parsley and garlic. A big mac would be one heck of a lot healthier... I dont know who came up with that "mediterranean" diet thing, but it was obviously someone who had never lived in this here mediterranean country. _____________________
