KFC Popcorn Chicken -- Almost perfect?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’ve concluded that KFC popcorn Chicken is nearly perfect food for me except for one little thing.

Too much Pepper!

Ok, I adore the KFC wonderful coating on origial, extra crispy and all it’s other incarnations, but that’s on normal chicken. Put the same thing on the little chicken bits of popcorn chicken and we’ve drastically changed the chicken to coating ratio and at least for me, it’s noticably a bad thing about a quarter of the way through a large container.

Any suggestions for how to fend off the excessive pepper taste?

anyone want to join me in a letter writing campaign for a different coating?

If you make a big stink about it in the drive-thru, I’m sure they’ll give you a different “coating”, they like to please the customers like that.

I just think the pieces are too small. They end up being little fried fry.

Yeah, less pepper and MORE CHOCOLATE!

I’ll sign.

Actually I think the problem with it is COST, stuff costs best part of 10 bucks and you get a box full of air. Tasty, but not worth it.

I just wish I was the guy who came up with the idea to package all the sweepings from around the cutting table.

I’d never have to work again!

I tried the stuff, and I agree that it has too much pepper- but ketchup helps a little bit. What really bothers me, however, is the fact that the things are more coating than actual chicken! If I order chicken, I WANT CHICKEN!

KFC has never sold edible chicken, IMHO.

“Perfect”? Fie!

Didn’t any of you folk ever have a grandmother that knew how to actually (kill and) cook a chicken?

It may not be cost effective grub but damn it’s good. Too much pepper? Never. Little nuggets of ambrosia. Had some for lunch today with some of the Colonel’s cole slaw. Two of the finest substanced ever to get crammed into one’s cake hole. If I could get a home stovetop version of the KCF pressure chicken fryer I’d be on easy street. Hmm, how dangerous would it be to fill a pressure cooker with Crisco…

Ftg, you must be a city kid. I can kill and cook a chicken as well as my mother or grandmother though I haven’t done it in years. Nasty work as mom would always remind me to not let them drop on the ground and let the necks get dirt in them. Not only do those neck arteries work really well but I swear they can aim.

Too much peper? No way! I don’t think they’re spicey enough and definately not worth what they’re charging for them.

Dissenting opinion here.
I think these little crunchy yet oily bits of floor sweepings are nasty. There is only the flavour of overly spicy breading and almost no chicken. I believe the spice is there to distract you from the fact that what animal product is there is merely the bits of fat, skin, and gristle that couldnt be sold in any other manner…ewwwww

I just had some last week when my gf decided they would be an easy addition to dinner. The order I had was limp and soggy yet the high amount of fat made for some crispy bits here and there. I can just fry some flour in chicken fat the next time I want that taste experience.
