KFC

Good food and fast food service. The great KFC Chicken.

I can solemnly say that this was the worst meal I have had for as long as I can recall. We both ordered a 3-piece meal, classic recipe with mashed & gravy as the side. The meal comes with a biscuit; we took unsweetened iced tea for our drinks. I asked for butter for the biscuit for which they provided something labeled Buttery Spread; my girlfriend got the Honey Sauce for hers. The person who took our order was nice, friendly, attentive, but what we were served was well, read on. We then drove the five minutes to James D. Kriegh park for our picnic. Upon opening the box the chicken was anything but fresh or crispy more like totally soggy fried breading that was falling off the somewhat undercooked pinkish bird. I would have taken pictures of the mess, but my fingers were already covered in grease, which had also covered my hands down to my wrists grease everywhere. Youll have to settle for the picture of the just-opened box thats the thigh on top, but the breast was equally bad. The mashed potatoes were average for fast food, nothing to complain about, but the gravy had a slight sweetness such that I wouldnt be surprised to find it had HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) in the list of ingredients. Speaking of HFCS, its the first ingredient in the Honey Sauce, followed immediately by Corn Syrup. Honey is the fourth ingredient, right after sugar (Sugar? Do you really need to add sugar after the first two ingredients and the honey?), and then fructose, because apparently this mess just isnt sickly sweet enough for their average customer. As for the Buttery Spread, its an emulsion of Soybean Oil and Palm Oil with water wholesome goodness a la Blue Bonnet. But the biscuit was yummy; just dont add the Buttery Spread unless you enjoy bad margarine and heart disease. In summary, I guess the best part of the meal was the plain biscuit and iced tea. Otherwise, it was all pretty disgusting. This was my first visit to a KFC in about [paws for reflection] 20 years, at the now defunct store on Tanque Verde near Kolb/Grant, and now that I recall, _that_ was probably the _last_ worst meal I have eaten. Comparing KFC to its contemporaries in the fried chicken space, even salty, puny Chick-Fil-A is vastly superior. If youre looking for good fried chicken, I would recommend going to your Tucson-based Lucky Wishbone or at least Popeyes. Shout out to the facilities crew at James D. Kriegh park for assuring there was plenty of soap in the restrooms to get all that KFC grease off my hands. I wonder if KFC has ever considered packaging that grease in small plastic bottles and selling it at Target next to the Astroglide and KY? Vegetarian options: For vegetarian options, I would recommend the "Buttery Spread" and "Honey Sauce".
