Remember when Kentucky Fried Chicken used to be good?

It was awesome in the early 70’s.

When it was real chicken

Greasy bucket told the whole story.

Know a place that still uses lard to fry wings in.

I know it's "bad" for you but taste doesn't compare.

I memba.

I remember there were always little "hairs", which were actually feathers that you NEVER see in chicken skin nowadays.
They didn't bother anyone back then, but people today would throw a fit without immaculately cleaned chicken skin.

Looks like the guy in the video is using skinless chicken?
I vividly remember skin-on.

71yo and never had it.

You aint lived.

It was ok in the 80's. Everything good goes to shit. EVERYTHING. That is why you should concentrate on creating a new good and not relying on an existing current good.

I'm a Popeyes man now.

and now its "KFC". In Jamaica, our taxi driver told us it was "Keep Her from Cooking".

Ditto.

The only problem about recreating the original is not the 11 "secret" herbs and spices. Those are already known and really don't make that much of a difference. What makes the difference is a pressure fryer. That is a bit cumbersome to get into a home and very expensive to own if you are not selling chicken 24/7.

KFCs main problem came from hiring dumb fucks with poor hygiene and leaving chicken out all day long so as to not have to fire up the pressure fryers more than a couple of times a day. That costs real money. Even the coleslaw is shit now - however they can fuck that up I have no idea.

OP obviously didn’t have the glazed doughnut chicken beast samich at KFC. Thank god that was for a limited time, otherwise I would have gained fifty pounds quick as fuck.

Their chicken sandwiches are sooooo fukin SALTY!

first time I thought they made a mistake, so tried a few weeks later and same damn thing.

And I'm a person who likes salt.

China chief now

Globalism killed America

Pressure fried chicken is called broasted chicken.

.

Still love the taste of kfc they just don't cook it long enough. Greasy and semi-raw to get it out the door. Too bad, I don't buy it anymore.

You gotta wonder what it was glazed with.

Nope

Lard is not bad for you that is a god lie from the sugar industry

Ive done kfc in an air fryer.

Bloody delicious without all the grease n shit.

I think the fact that they changed the name to KFC says a lot. KFC sounds like some kind of fucking chemical compound, not FRIED CHICKEN.

I won't eat that shit anymore, last time 1 small piece made me sick. It's disgusting and so are the sides. Yech.

Broasted chicken does not have the same regiment with the machines. It was timed to the second at kfc and they have (or had) a formula to keep minimum wage employees on top of the task. KFC now is no better than any other local joint who invested in a non-money making pressure fryer.

Pizza is much easier and with a window, dumb fucks working there can even see it.

If I am bound up, I just eat some of their chicken and I have no problem

The ultimate would be a KFC photo mat. Those were those tiny kiosks you would drive up to. Just one dude in there filling up and oiling and cleaning the machines. Pay that dude a lot because it is specialized and crucial. A robot makes the chicken from refer truck to bucket. All payment is already automated. A greasy tray pops out of the photomat window and your bucket slides down. Probably would be better than the 1970's KFC.

I used to do that with fast food. Now I use chemicals. Much faster and more accurate. And better for my heart!

Still is good.
