I am trying KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) for the very first time! As someone who loves fast food, I can't believe I've never had KFC before. We do have it in Ireland but I've never tried it before! So, I decided to give it a go and share my thoughts on this iconic fast food chain with you all.
Join me as I take my first bite of KFC's famous "finger-lickin'" chicken, and share my thoughts on the taste, texture, and overall experience of this fast food classic. As an Irish person trying KFC for the first time, I'll be giving you my honest opinion and sharing my reactions to each bite. Oh and did I mention there's biscuits and gravy? Not quite but there is mash and gravy AND a kids happy meal type thing with a toy! And KFC dessert

Yes I NEARLY spilled but I SAVED it today 💪ps what is Kentucky flavour??
I would have though Kentucky flavor would be bourbon…
All i've seen at KFC is Original Recipe or Extra Crispy, never heard it called Kentucky flavor.
the classic (secret) 11 herbs and spices recipe.. and you said that it gives off a "homey" type vibe.. yes, that was how it was originally marketed.. good old fried chicken like your parents used to make.
Not really Kentucky....it would be Southern Fried Chicken so that's actually where the idea comes from and would be similar in The Southern States and Texas and probably the Midwest as well. Great!!
I've never heard of "Kentucky flavor." In America, KFC chicken comes in original and crispy, but that has more to do with the texture of the breading rather than the flavor.
“Kind of gross but kind of delicious.”
Probably the most accurate review of KFC ever.
😂 yep
Yep. Gross, bc you realize that it's so greasy and salty....but good, because it's greasy and salty. Since they got rid of grilled chicken and potato wedges, I don't much bother with it
That's the most accurate review of American food in general.
Dipping the tenders and the biscuits into the mashed potatoes and gravy is the best. But ya still kinda gross 😂
@@LindaC616 Same. I've had KFC once since they ditched the potato wedges.
I don't know why this entertained me as much as it did, but I'm grateful and now vaguely hungry for a bucket of KFC.
Heehee! That’s a great compliment
Same but I'm used to my KFC bucket filled to the top. And No Biscuit? Omg...sacrilege!
@@TalklikeAPirate poor europeans, idk what i'd do without those biscuits, how else do i mop up all the gravy??
@@TalklikeAPirate And in America, it's a much bigger bucket. Who stole the top 15 centimeters off it? Here, a bucket's used to hold 8-12 chicken pieces, including the huge breasts the American chicken industry claims we prefer.
“Well let me just quote the late-great Colonel Sanders, who said...'I'm too drunk to taste this chicken.'”
- Ricky Bobby
😂😂😂
Added bonus, Lenny can't stop you now from having chicken and waffles whenever you want like he did at IHOP. 😋 BOOP
The story of how KFC was started and how it became so big is a really fascinating story - he revolutionized how to pressure cook chicken to give it that juiciness 😊 great video!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting!
@@DianeJennings In fact when he perfected his blend of 11 herbs and spices he traveled around and sold the chicken recipe collecting a couple cents for each pc sold & providing samples out of his car trunk that’s where the bucket comes from - there is a great series called the food that built America and the KFC episode is fascinating
The thing that interested me was that Col. Sanders started his business after most folks retire.
I was going to mention this as well.
@@jimsteele9261 What I think's interesting is how he was a lawyer, but got disbarred for starting a fist fight in the court room. Then later, he owned a gas station and started frying chicken as a way to increased his profits. His gas station almost went out of business, but because it was someone on his side who died in the gun fight, it was the owner of the other gas station who went to prison instead of him. 🤣
Today he's treated as a comedic character, and when I grew up he was treated like the quintessential gentleman, but the dude was a thug.
Hi from Kentucky;we usually made the sides because KFC's weren't all that good. But the chicken was much easier than trying to fry your own. Never heard of Ky flavor other than what someone else said-bourbon 😂
Ya the sides are not as lush as the chicken!
i think KY chicken is our extra crispy.
@@DianeJennings The sides and the little sandwich would have been way way better if you had tried them right after buying them. The trip home and time taken to get ready to film, etc, allows the stuff to get old, especially the fries. But of course you know this, being a Mac-d fan ;)
You went to KFC and you didn’t get the coleslaw? The coleslaw is the best thing on the menu! At least in America it is. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Keep up the great work! You too Chewy!
Is that on the menu in Europe KFC?
Not everybody likes coleslaw.
@@DP-hy4vh Those kind of people are not human... just sayin'
@@robschaller9061lol oh no they’re definitely human. Nobody ever touches that stuff let alone have a scoop.
@@DP-hy4vhI fucking hate cole slaw
KFC trivia.
The bucket of chicken was started by a regional manager (Or equivalent) in Texas. He noticed a lot of people stopping by the stores after church on Sunday and they wanted just chicken, not the box style meals that made up most of the menu. After proving the success of the concept it went nation wide.
Later that manager, Dave Thomas, left KFC to found Wendy's.
My favorite fries are Arby's curly fries; nicely seasoned so they're not just deep fried potatoes.
Potato cakes!
I love them too ! So glad I can get them at Dollar general and Walmart! If only you could get their roast beef as well !
@@davidcreager1945 the curly fries? Or the cakes?
I think Hatdee's/Carl's Jr. Has seasoned curly fries. At least I can say they did 30 years ago. Yummy!
Get Jack in the box bacon cheesy fries so much bettah.

Lawrence as per ice man
« kind of gross but kind of delicious ». exactly i go two three years then 2 buckets 3 sides for a week!
Mean last as my own comment my reply to Lawrence??
@@iceman34 huh?
YAY! You tried dipping the chicken in the mash =D It's my face thing to do. I may have mentioned. Don't know how close it is to NYC KFC. Hope you enjoyed it. Hugs n love as always =)
NYC KFC? You're lucky if it's actually chicken and not rat meat
🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for that as well!!
My aunt Betty when ever she came for a visit she would buy Kentucky Fried Chicken seeing you enjoy it today brought back some present memories. hope you and Chewie have a good week
That's awesome 🤩
🙂 MY aunt Betty was from GA, and a visit always meant chicken and dumplings 😋
That was when KFC was really tasty, no more, it's just fried batter, bone and fat which is gross.
@@bkm2797 my aunts visits were in 1970's when her parents were still alive.
Here in the States, KFC serves original and extra crispy. They have essentially the same seasonings. I have no idea what the Kentucky Style might have been. I think the lighter colored pieces in your bucket were original recipe. The first piece that you thought was a wing was actually a thigh. Glad you liked KFC, next time you come to Texas, try both Popeye's and Church's fried chickens. They are both actually even better. Hope you had a happy Easter.
@@Heymrk And remarkably hard to find there. I often drive through Louisiana going between Texas and Mississippi. There seem to be a lot more Popeyes in Texas than there are in Louisiana.
@@odysseusrex5908 I was thinking Kentucky Style was the extra crispy..... I've always thought of KFC's extra crispy as having more breading on it, and original being darker with less breading
@@Mike_Toulon I forget which is lighter or darker but, yeah, extra breading is probably the chief difference. Maybe you're right that they are just calling it by a different name over there. I wonder why>
Crispy and original have very different breading. Original is the one with the 11 secret herbs/spice, and crispy is a basic egg and flour, salt and pepper breading, and gets coated twice. It's cooked in an open fryer, and original is cooked in a pressure fryer. 😊
Church's chicken is trash by comparison. I have never understood people claiming it's better than competitors.
Usually it’s original vs extra crispy. The original has more oil fat. Extra crispy is just that. Less oily too.
It was SUPER oily! 😮
The Original Recipe is cooked in a pressure cooker and doesn't have a crunch. The Crispy is cooked in an open fryer. The mashed potatoes are powdered mashed potatoes.
The original has better seasoning, no crunch. The extra crispy has crunch, less flavor
We were driving on an old US highway in Kentucky and saw a sign for the original Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. We decided to take a break and see what was there.
There was a standard KFC, but off to one side was an old roadside cafe that was the original restaurant. The old furnishings were there, and the original kitchen with all of the implements of destruction. The place was maintained as a museum. We felt as if we had entered a shrine to the 11 secret herbs and spices.
There had been a motor court across the street that was operated by Harlan Sanders, but I don't remember if it was still standing.
Not only do I live in the United States, but I live down the street from the Kentucky fried Chicken, and I have never heard of Kentucky style. Here they have original an extra crispy, and the secret with extra crispy is that it's leftover chicken from the day before re breaded and fried
It was so fun watching you try KFC! And I like the fact that you buy the whole menu and give everything a try. Too bad that they don't sell biscuits over there. Maybe it's a regional thing, but they make the best biscuits. I use them to make my own mini sandwiches. Also, I love McDonald's fries the best.
Savory, the darker color, is the Original Recipe. It gets fried in a pressure cooker that seals the moisture in. It doesn't need marinating or brining to be moist.
Diane, your reaction to KFC was so spot on, they should hire you for an ad campaign! Yup, you knocked it out of the park!
Great reaction Diane, in America KFC is basically two types. Original (spicier) and Crunchy (plain but really crunchy) then there are the Tenders which have kind of a medium between the first two. The other major chicken chain is Popeye's Louisiana Chicken and it can be spicy and they have very distinct Creole or Cajun styles of side dishes not normally found in other locations. I recommend both. KFC is my all time favorite as I had it 54 years ago as a 5 year old and its still the same original recipe I remember. :) Chris
What about Church’s, Mrs Winner’s, or Bojangles?
“No lady like way to eat corn”. Favorite quote of the video. Just like there’s no masculine way to drink from a straw. Loved the video but it made me verrrrry hungry.
Aggressive and with eye contact. That's manly straw drinking! 😉
Truth!
Skipped lunch, am starving, and this popped up! 😅
I've never seen corn like that at KFC--but I have seen it at Long John Silver's.
I'm not a lady but HATE corn on the cob. It's not just difficult to eat, it's near impossible. I can't understand people who enjoy eating from those things. I bet you burn more calories in the effort of eating it than you will gain from it. 😄 Scrape it off or something and then eat it with a spoon, and it might just be tolerable.
@Diane: KFC in the States usually have "bagged" plastic cutlery in the same area as the condiments section. Where I live, KFC doesn't automatically put the bagged plastic sets in the bag, but these are near-by.
I watched this right when you uploaded it last night and a little later I went to bed hungry. And I don't even eat meat anymore, that's how well your videos work! :)
KFC is a great, cheap way to feed my 4 kids when I don't feel like cooking but want to give them semi-real food. I'm sad there was no biscuit or coleslaw though. My favorites!
Ironically, yes KFC is certainly AMERICAN in every sense, but KFC might as well be Japan as well! In japan, people are FANATICAL about getting KFC Family dinner for the Christmas Dinner! In Japan people have to order KFC a month in advance for their family Christmas dinner! Very funny and crazy at the same time. Gotta love Japan though!
I'm so down with the "trying for the first time" videos. Diane's reactions are absolutely awesome.
I do like to watch you try stuff . . . And do things . . . And eat stuff. LOL!! Good video Diane. I think you have the better KFC in that part of the world. The one here in the US is supposed of lesser quality. Now I will have to try some it has been so long. BTW, the flavor of Kentucky is Bourbon.
Usually when I go to KFC the fries are cajun and the mashed potatoes and gravy are seperate
And I usually enjoy it. I was really surprised when you said they didn't serve biscuits in KFC Europe
Here in the U.S I thought it was almost a mandatory rule to serve biscuits with fried chicken 😂
I usually get mac n cheese with mines also. I usually prefer the breast personally and also liked their grilled options too
Excellent review Diane. I always enjoy your food reviews. It is a shame that you did not encounter the KFC "spork". A combination of a spoon and a fork. Sporks may be problematic for Europeans because Americans and Europeans use their forks differently.
Thanks for the enjoyable content.
the light colored one is what we call crispy. the little darker brown color one is original recipe of 11 herbs and spices. that one is my favorite.
Most KFC childhood memory: when I played T-ball, our field was uphill from a KFC and a sewage treatment plant... practice would end with everyone savoring that wonderful KFC smell when the treatment plant would kick in, and everybody would run for their cars and peel out of the parking lot....
5:40 that crunch is exquisite! Making me hungry for fired chicken 🍗 for Brekky
To me for dinner!
Does Europe KFC not offer many side dishes? In 'Merica you can get green beans, and their cole slaw is excellent. The biscuits come with little packets of honey, you really missed out on that one.
You can get a bucket with 4 biscuits and 2 large sides, dinner for four 👍
Love your videos ❤
Favorite Fries?? I like seasoned Curley fries from Jack in the Box, but McDonald's regular fries are pretty fantastic as well.
Oh yeah, when you get mashed, ask for gravy on the side. That way they come in separate containers, they travel better, and you can choose your own gravy to potato ratio.
KFC cole slaw is the best!! Ever!
Best fries are from a chain on the East Coast of the US called Checkers. It's called Rally's out west. Seasons, battered fries that don't need any condiments like ketchup with them.
When I was a child we lived in Kentucky and I got to meet Harlan Sanders once (The guy on the bucket) while we were eating at a KFC. Back then they didn't have kid's meals or much of anything besides fried chicken...they didn't even have extra crispy yet, just original. I've loved it ever since. Mr. Sanders did ask me what I thought of the restaurant though and I said it would be nice if I didn't have to pay to use the restroom. That gave him a laugh. Back then it cost a dime (10 cents) to use the restroom at KFC. Maybe he listened because it's been free for years now, lol.
Hello Diane, hope you enjoyed the KFC. KFC used to serve hot rolls and honey with their boxes, but then they switched to biscuits. They also sold fish and shrimp at one time.
Or it was a combined store with Long John Silvers
But they did it one time have ribs BBQ ribs.Rolled in the KFC flour with the 11 herbs and spices, deep-fried in the pressure cooker, slathered with barbecue sauce, and placed on a warmer for at least 2 hours oh they were good.
KFC used to provide "Sporks" (a plastic spoon/fork combination utensil). They didn't give me one the last time I went. Did get one when I went to Popeyes last month.
In the states, we go to KFC to get the chicken and a couple of sides like mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese and coleslaw. We have original and extra Krispy, but extra Krispy is just more breading on the chicken and for me is a bit too much so I stick with original recipe. For me, it’s the best fried chicken on earth, we have it once every few months. I was on a business trip last year in Corbin Kentucky and found out after a few days, Corbin was the birthplace of KFC. So I went to their restaurant, which is part restaurant, part museum, and had myself a three piece original recipe meal. If your buying for your family, you get a bucket. I’m glad you enjoyed the chicken!
Kentucky Fried Chicken is huge in Japan. It has become the favorite Japanese Christmas dinner.
Sometimes fast food places give you a…. Spork!
I’m surprised they didn’t have a macaroni and cheese side. Very yummy. In US rolls are very important!
SPORK!!!
Extra weird that KFC didn't provide a spork, because I recall them being a leading source of sporks in the community when I was growing up.
@@DianeJennings I think he's right, I think KFC honestly provides sporks.
@@mattfinleylive maybe not in Europe.
needs biscuits 2 b american
Corn on the cob is great but its how Corn comes. Why don't we say corn off the cob???
… omg why DONT we?!
Diane ... this was the first video of yours I've watched, and I think you are absolutely adorable! Keep them coming. I love KFC too!
Here in Canada it's Fried Chicken or Tenders. And different types of Chicken Sandwiches. Along with Fries, Coleslaw, Biscuits and Gravy. We have Twister and Zinger Wraps as well. Even Poutine. (Cheese curds and Gravy and French Fries)
KFC in the US typically has original recipe, extra crispy, and might have grilled. Tend to prefer Popeyes chicken but KFC is good because you can get a proper meal instead of the burger/fries that most fast food offers.
Next time you're in the US, KFC sometimes has a sandwich called a double down, where instead of a bun there more pieces of meat.
Chewie was loving life through this video
Fun fact: the grilled chicken at KFC is also fried. That's why its so juicy - they pre-grill it and then drop it into the deep fryer with no breading for final prep.
I’m getting an advert/commercial for Popeye’s Chicken in the middle of the video.
Ahaha that’s darkly funny! 😂
I learned a new word in "carvery". I know the idea, nice restaurants do that here for holiday meals, but I never had a word for it. Favorite fries: McDonalds fries back when they were cooked in beef tallow (I'm just old enough to remember them)
Those were staggeringly good, weren't they? If you ever get over to Belgium, every frite stand I tried in Brussels fried in tallow - just amazing.
Diane, you all have the BEST FRIES EVER.I had them outside of a Pub in Kinsale.I couldn't believe all the Dipping sauces you all have.👍☘
I love that you finally realized “real” chicken, as opposed to processed nuggets, tastes different depending on the part you eat. 😂 That is, white meat (breasts) is way different in taste, texture & moistness from dark meat (wings, thighs & legs). I’m a wing and thigh man, myself.
Wings are white meat as well.
Chickens don't use their wings, and thus their breasts, as much as their legs, so the muscles are not as developed. That makes the muscles in the thighs and legs much darker since those muscles can better use the chemicals in the blood for energy. So, chickens run forever but only fly a short distance.
@@prollins6443 Yes, technically that might be true. But as for taste, juiciness and cooking times/methods, they are for all intents and purposes dark meat.
From Cooks Illustrated: “Chicken wings evade neat categorization. While their flesh has some of the lighter color and milder flavor of breast meat, it also has the juicy unctuousness of dark meat. When we took an informal poll of our test cooks, we couldn’t come to a consensus: The majority classified wings as dark meat, while a small, but vocal, minority insisted they were white.
CHICKEN WINGS ARE TECHNICALLY WHITE MEAT. All chicken meat contains both white and dark muscle fibers, and the proportion of each is determined by how those muscles are used… Since chickens spend much of their lives standing or walking, the muscle fibers in their legs and thighs are predominantly dark. Because they almost never fly and only in short bursts, the muscle fibers in their wings and breast are mostly white.
EVEN SO, WINGS ARE FATTIER LIKE DARK MEAT. Wings also have the highest proportion of skin compared to other chicken parts, and that skin is 60-80 percent collagen… The collagen helps retain moisture in the meat as it cooks, keeping it more juicy and tender.”
THE BOTTOM LINE: the books might say wings are white meat, but those who butcher or cook a lot of chicken know they’re dark meat. 🤷🏻♂️😉
7:41 "Like, there is a chicken who gave his life for me"
Ah yes, the true spirit of Easter 😅
Original recipe is my way to go. Grew up on same day picked sweet corn in season so I stay away from the Colonel's corn on the cob. Locally we have "heart attack in a bowl" i.e. mashed potatoes, small chicken bites, kernal corn, and brown gravy lightly over the top. Don't forget the cheese over the top. Ohh to die for.
By the way, the family has been in New England since the 1600's. English Scottish roots. Identify as Swamp Yankee (Swamper).
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work!
The one thing I like most from KFC is the pot pie (I don't know if they have that in Europe). Usually one of the cheaper items on the menu, but probably one of the tastiest.
As for the cutlery: KFC is famous for the plastic spork.
Also, it's really disappointing you couldn't get the biscuits. KFC does soda biscuits - think of Irish soda bread, but about the size of the palm of your hand.
KFC actually invented the spork, according to the History Channel series: Modern Marvels.
you couldnt sell a pie at kfc in europe, way too many bakeries to get a cheap fresh pie of any kind.
The KFC spork was perfect! I need a spork in my life right now.
I worked at KFC once and we had a pressure fryer that sealed in the juices.
Don’t eat there often, but still like the food.
a funny tradition in Japan is that around Christmas time there’s a waiting list for families buying a bucket of KFC fried chicken
former kfc manager here, where to begin? they don't have buttermilk biscuits there? sacrilegious! and the darker, more savory chicken was the original recipe. and a thigh. its different from the other (over here its called extra crispy) in how its seasoned and cooked. original is single breaded and pressure cooked in oil, where extra crispy is double breaded and cooked in an open fryer. and those side choices blow. over here we have mac and cheese, baked beans, (sweet style) and coleslaw just to name a few. and the mash and gravy must be different over there because here its a peppery wonder. also, I think yours was from the bottom of the gravy pot, because that chunk was undissolved gravy powder, used to make the gravy. I'm happy to answer any questions as well.
IDK anything about KFC but I love how Chewie gets cuter every video and I've also been known to describe things as real-ass. Idk why but it just rolls off the tongue nicely lol.
It does 😂
I'm going to spend all video drooling aren't I? 🤤x
You should!
Arby's curly fires are great as well as Rally's/Checker's seasoned fries. Can't go wrong with either.
When I was a child and my mother wanted to create an instant party/picnic for my visiting little school friends she would buy buckets of chicken, corn, green beans, and mash with some pop. Instant party.
My favorite fries are Five Guys fries with Cajun seasoning. Delicious, and there's a boatload of them even if you buy a regular portion!
You could make a meal out of only a bag of five guys fries. Maybe not the healthiest meal........
Diane, the gravy must be different there than in the U.S. I've seen people order the gravy separate and just drink it and i've seen people take the skin off the chicken and drag it thru the gravy.
Omg no! 🤮
I especially love Chick-fil-A's sweet mustard sauce!
4:12 The one on the left is a crispy chicken tender. The one on the right is a original.
The best sides with the KFC are the mashed potatoes and gravy, baked beans and biscuits in that order.
And sometimes I dip the chicken in the gravy as well as the biscuits.
I've not had KFC in a long time. I want some now. 😊. For me, Five Guys has the best fries. 😊
😋 not my fave but nice!
Good, but very pricey.
@@Heymrk Another trick is that you fry them twice, with a draining/cooling stage in between. The first fry cooks the inside; the second fry crisps the outside.
Did you hear about the husband and wife that moved to live on a plateau. They’re still together, but the marriage is a little rocky
🤦♀️
@@DianeJennings thank you. My favorite response
This is great! 2023 and there are still people who are just hearing about The Rolling Stones and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Normally you get 4 biscuits with a bucket, but that is an American buscuit, AKA, a savory scone. The potato and gravy are excellent on the biscuit. The green beans is pretty good. BTW, from KY and have been to the original KFC in Corbin, KY. I also know the grandson of Colonel Sanders. Great guy.
Mmmm bucket o' chicken 🍗🍟
Yummay!!
This was a great reaction! My first job when I turned 16 was frying chicken at a KFC. It tastes like home cooked chicken because the preparation isn't different than what you would do at home. It's just at a larger scale. The chicken is marinated in a brine for hours, then hand breaded and fried. The extra crispy chicken is cooked in a normal open fryer like french fries or whatever, but the original recipe chicken is fried in a pressure cooker.
1:11 “I’m moving over here, so an ad doesn’t fall on my head!”
1:21 “The ad is gone. Back to my old spot!”
Harlan Sanders started selling chicken out of a gas/petrol station in Kentucky. He had a couple of hot plates and fried a few chickens. His batter had 11 herbs and spices in it, and more people wanted it than he could service. So he expanded, and the rest is history. The Governor of Kentucky made him an Honorary Colonel in the Kentucky Militia. Hence Colonel Sanders' Kentucky Fried Chicken.
There are two types of coating in the US: Original and Extra Crispy. You are gushing about the Extra Crispy, whatever it is called over there. Extra Crispy is based on corn flour, Original is wheat. The "mashed potatoes and gravy" are almost universally despised (even by the Coronel himself).
There is a huge difference between the mash & gravy piping hot vs anything else, so you should get pass on that experience. Also, my favorite fries are Wendy's because they are the right thickness and super salty.
Yeah, I'm going to need to get a bucket of chicken. BTW, the big piece you tried was a thigh. It's the BEST piece of the whole bird.
I appreciate you going into american things without a negative predisposition. Certain other channels cannot "try" to do it if they wanted to.
McDonald's french fries are the best. The waffle fries from Chik-fil-A are a close second for me. It was nice to see Chewie enjoying some real chicken!
I only liked their wedges, which they don't have any more
Maccy D does have the classic you’re right!
Wrong. Checkers/Rallys fries are the best.
Fries have to be hot though. Cold fries are not good.
Working at McDonald's will turn you away from their fries with enough time. I prefer the fries from Arby's, curly of course. Otherwise, it's the fries from Culver's. Better potato taste, which is what I base my fry ratings on.
KFC sounds good now. I had Chick-fil-A for lunch. They use real chicken too. I like the Chick-fil-A waffle fries.
I gotta try that!
No biscuit? That’s the best part.
Rather than eating KFC I get fried chicken from a regional place called Lee's Famous Recipe. The main reason for this is that Lee's serves chicken gizzards and livers. They fry them in the same breading that they use for their chicken 🍗. This makes the gizzards very rubbery and, as a child, I was fascinated by a food with the texture of a super ball. It's a nostalgic food for me. It must be like that for others as well, because they sometimes run out, even before COVID and supply chain issues.
Walmart used to sell them next to their raw chicken. I would braise them in chicken stock in a slow cooker. This would make them very tender. I have not seen them for a while.
Love Gizzards - I dip them in mustard. Hate chicken livers - that is catfish bait.
kfc is not bad, but it's not as good as it used to be.
Ya reckon?
KFC chicken nukes well, but can also be eaten cold. Great episode!!!
Cold KFC for breakfast, been there.
At our local KFC they usually give you a plastic knife and a spork, which is like a combination spoon and fork, sort of a spoon with wide short tines on the end.
Thanks for trying it Diane!
Diane gets KFC for her dinner time meal
She wants to know if eating from a bucket has any appeal
She likes the chicken and thinks it tastes real
But the chocolate waffle is what seals the deal
Hooray!🎉
My favorite type of French Fries 🍟 are the ones made from 🍠 sweet potatoes.. 😊
Also, I was surprised 😮 there were no ending bloopers in this episode 😢
I do love KFC but sadly none are close to me😢😭
Chewie in the back ground, priceless
Great video Diane
Harland Sanders used to lease his recipe for fried chicken to independent restaurants. However, when he came to Canada, the owner of "Scott's Chicken Villa" convinced him that he would make more money by franchising restaurants than leasing the recipe and so KFC was born.
The honorary rank of "Colonel" was given to Harland Sanders in appreciation of his culinary service to the state of Kentucky.
While in Toronto Canada, Colonel Sanders met Peter Grace, who would later open KFC restaurants in Ireland.
Harland retired to a farm in Cooksville Ontario Canada.
Col. Sanders secretary took stock options instead of cash bonuses. When she retired, she was wealthier than her boss.
KFC Was so good in the 60's🎉 Have a good one my dear.😊
Thank you! You too!
@@DianeJennings thought they were chips jk they're fries. They probably taste like bluegrass and bourbon
Kentucky taste like chewing tobacco bourbon and bad choices 😯
"This is real food. Not like McDonalds, this is real food." Wow, shots fired. lol
I love the way your describing all this. it’s exactly how I feel about Kentucky Fried Chicken like some of it is really good then the the rest isn’t worth going there for at all
I LOVE shrimp alfredo and would get it every time at a certain restaurnt. My GF at the time, always questioned me for NOT trying new things.
"This is the best alfredo Ive ever had, they make it perfect and I love it! Why get something else???"
I agree no trip to KFC is complete without Cole Slaw
The chicken piece you tried was not a wing. The piece you liked was a thigh. You’re a very entertaining person. Thanks for the videos. 👏
Wow!!! I really liked this video. Years ago I spent a lot of time in England and Scotland on various computer projects. I never found a KFC that served mashed potatoes which is standard here in America. Only fries (chips on their menus) were available and the pieces were smaller. My local KFC now has a Mac & Cheese bowl for $5 which has amazing mac & cheese with chicken bytes. Damn fine eating. Thanks............
My understanding is they get it so juicy by pressure cooking the chicken. Then afterward keep it at an elevated temperature for a certain amount of time.
The spice that gives KFC Original Recipe its unique flavor is White Pepper.
If you sprinkle some white pepper over plain fried chicken it will taste like KFC but texture of the crust will not be the same.
KFC Original Recipe is cooked in a pressure cooker which keeps the crust from being dry or crunchy.
Extra crispy and original. Potatoes and gravy are my favorite!!!
Roasted corn on the cob dipped in hot melted butter is the best
Diane, you should have used a " spork " ! Lol ! So glad you loved KFC ! the extra crispy chicken is the best ! ❤️🤍💙☘️☘️☘️
