Say Good-bye to KFC - Cook your own Chicken!

I recently read an article entitled: "KFC owners wonder what happened to the 'F'." It was saying that angered franchisees are going to sue, while stating that the focus on grilled chicken has hurt the brand. "The civil war over what KFC should stand for erupted last year when the company introduced grilled chicken with the slogan "Unthink KFC."

Okay, I understand the reason for the complaints, and I actually agree with 'em. But realistically, KFC is not what it used to be when it comes to quality or service, for that matter. If you have any idea what fried chicken tastes like, when cooked by someone who actually knows what they are doing, like myself, you'll abruptly come to the conclusion that KFC sucks anyway!
Not only do you often have to usually wait for a very long time to get your food from their slow asses of a "fast food" failure, but some of them also enhance the delay by cramming another brand into their menu, such as Taco Bell.

Speaking of that, Taco Bell (link to homemade Mexican Pizza) is still semi-decent, but they shouldn't share the same building with KFC, such as the one in our town. It definitely increases the wait time, for sure! Anyway, back to the subject, their prices on individual chicken parts are absolutely insane. For example, go to a KFC and order 5 little drumsticks along with 4 thighs and it will usually be over 10 dollars even if you don't buy anything else! I can go to a grocery store a buy a massive amount of chicken for 10 dollars. I know, they charge more for special orders that aren't on the menu, but it's still just some damn greasy, fast-fried chicken!

I think they did make a mistake by introducing grilled chicken. What the fuck? It is not KGC (Kentucky Grilled Chicken), it is KFC for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Besides, I've tried the grilled chicken and, in my opinion, it wasn't that great at all; and I love eating poultry whether it is fried, baked, grilled, you name it...

Another thing I noticed with this grilled stuff, is how tiny their chicken parts were. What in the hell are they doing, killing the chickens prematurely or something?

The bottom line: If you want to complain about their quality, customer service, or inflated prices like I do, you should become more independent and be able to cook your own chicken! ...Or else, hush up, bend over and grab your ankles because you're getting a stiff one from that particular fast-food market upon ordering. So, if you don't like it, say good-bye to KFC and quit supporting it by visiting that low-quality chicken eatery, to start with.

On a positive note, their biscuits & gravy along with the coleslaw still seems decent. But they need to get their entree (chicken) back up to par before more people, like me, gives up on 'em. They can bicker over "fried or grilled" all they want, but either way, it's still a rip-off!

Damn, all this talk about KFC makes me want to cook some damn chicken. Later folks...

Update: A few years after I posted this, it appears that KFC has totally dropped this Kentucky Grilled shit. I'm assuming they had too much waste and/or leftover baked/grilled chicken all the time due to the lack of demand and/or it just took too much time to stop and special cook the healthier variant in between all the fried stuff since most people that eat fast-food on a regular basis are not extremely health conscious, to say the least.
