Has anyone tried the chicken BigTasty at McDs? Might get myself this for lunch along with the normal (beef) Big Tasty.

Yep - didnt rate it.
Beef is much better.

I agree. just had it for lunch. disappointing as it's two strips of chicken in the bun. regular beef one is better.

No one should ever order the limited edition chicken burgers from mcdo they're an absolute piss take 2 chicken selects chucked in a bun

Yea I think so too but I can’t help thinking that the old ones would have been fine if they had cooked them long enough at the right temperature and in small batches. Wonder how long until back to their old ways and the new ones become limp and served cold because they cook loads when they are not busy

What did you think to KFC’s “new fries”

What the f*ck have KFC done to their chips? They've made them worse.

Also, we asked for 8 hotwings, got home and we only had 6.

KFC must have the largest difference between expected brilliance and awful execution.

I often think "God I could kill for a KFC" (usually when driving past a billboard) yet so often it's just total rubbish. I only go perhaps twice a year, and reckon half the time I regret it.

Agree. The new fries the first couple of times were great.... crispy and hot. I’ve been twice since and got limp and cold just like the old ones.

The gravy varies in consistency... literally from light brown water to dark brown sludge

The size of the chicken pieces is getting pathetic and it annoys me if the meal has hot wings for instance and then get a wing piece. My last meal was a three piece meal and they were all drumsticks. I took it back.

It can’t be hard to cook fries and cook them long enough and In small enough batches for them to be crispy and hot. They could have done that with the old ones.

I often wonder what the original food was like back in the day of the colonel and what he would think if he walked into one now.

I haven't eaten a KFC in years for exactly the reasons you describe, as well as the inherent animal welfare questions. Why do you keep going back if you're persistently disappointed? Go get a sandwich instead and save yourself 800 calories...

With KFC I've noticed over the years that the wings are sometimes massive, amost as big as a normal piece of chicken, sometimes it's coated with a crazy amount of breadcrumbs too. I like it though.

As for the chips, i always liked their thick/chunky chips that they always had up until they decided to start changing it around. I don't I used to love KFC and felt it was the best option between the blandness of McDs and the expensive price of Burger King. now everything is so expensive.. 99p for 2 wings is ridiculous (10yrs ago you'd get 4 wings for that price).

My favourites were the zinger tower burger and Twister. however it seems like both aren't as big or as tasty anymore. twister feels like it's lacking in ingredients and the zingerr tower just doesnt feel as big.

2 weeks back I ate some kfc (just the chicken), it left my lips feeling weird for afew days, much like when you eat salt and vinegar crissps and it destroys your lips.

KFC is the worst of the big fast food chains, no consistency at all and the thought of eating is always better than the reality.

gravy is the worst when it comes to consistency. one day it's runny like water, the next day it's thick like mayonnaise (i prefer it thick)

Do you know how the gravy is made? I can't have it as a side anymore after I found out. Also, regarding their piece sizes, they get their chickens in and fillet them in store, so it can be a bit random depending on who is doing the work. I love KFC but always feel like crap after I've finished eating, so I save having fried chicken for when I'm visiting friends in south London and I can have a Morley's!

Question for those in the know.

I love a nice bit of fried chicken, but usually can't be bothered with the faff of the skin and bones and tendons and the like.

I also love a skewer of grilled chicken in a kebab.

So why don't takeaways use the cubed chicken they prepare for the kebabs, then bung the KFC type coating on it, and deep fry it? That would be the best combination of flavour, format and method, IMO.

A big valuebox of that type of chicken, doner meat, chips and salad is what I want, what I really really want.

I'd guess because frying chicken makes the oil in the fryer minging so they wouldn't be able to use them for anything else, most kebab shops don't have many fryers.

They fry chicken in the oil all the time, but it's on the bone. I'd like them to fry it in cubes, so no difference in that regard.

[ZedLeg]

I don't think I've seen a kebab shop that does fresh prepped fried chicken, why don't you ask at your local place?

yeah I saw the KFC docu. tbh im not deterred by it. it was a little suprised to find out how they do it, but then again its not much different to creating proper gravy using the fond leftover in the bottom of a roasting tin after you've done a roast chicken or any other meat. The fact that they clear out that stuff from the fryer every 3 days or so to make it is a little concerning though.
