On the KFC site, select “fried chicken”, then click on “original recipe” and you get a selection for original, extra gross, spicy and… “Kentucky grilled”. Yep, not an option in my area - just original and extra crispy. Maybe it’s a regional thing or franchises have the option of whether to carry it or not. ---

Are you saying it’s unbreaded but dunked in a fryer? I really have no idea, but the pictures don’t look fried. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > “Kentucky grilled” = fried No, it’s grilled. From a random food blogger. > The Kentucky Grilled Chicken is marinated and seasoned with a blend of six secret herbs and spices and is slow-grilled. Its appetizing smell was similar to other grilled chicken I’ve had before. The meat was juicy, tender and really tasty. It doesn’t taste like any of the KFC fried chickens, instead it tastes more like roasted or rotisserie chicken. Also, on my local menu, under that title, it literally says the word grilled. ---

That sort of reminds me of [Hank the Pigeon](https://www.google.com/search?q=hank+the+pigeon+wonder+years&tbm=isch) who is sort of the mascot/logo of the band The Wonder Years. Although I am misremembering the bird being upside down a lot. Perhaps because The Wonder Years is fairly emo, I remember their logo being more melodramatic than it is. ---

Really a weird move. I don’t see it as such a big deal from the person who got their name displaced, other than that sense of vulnerability for everyone who has a Twitter handle, but why wouldn’t he just create an Xmusic account? That ID is available. ---
