KFC have killed the giant snack pack, and therefore killed any interest I have in going to kfc.

I tried the GSP and thought it was absolutely vile. But I mostly go to Red rooster these days anyways, so I can't blame you. kafers is just too expensive these days. A $5 snack sub box from rooster is where it's at!

Agreed red rooster is superior these days.

If red rooster could stop putting bones in their roast rolls we could talk, but man the quality of the chicken sucks.

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

I don't like most of their rolls. I just go there for the $3.95 snack subs and 10 for $5 cheesy nuggs

The last KFC I had was so disgusting it's tainted any memory I had of them being worth going to. Cold damp unsalted chips, some pieces of chicken looked like they'd been cooked 4-5 times already - tiny dried out husks of food. The box was soaked through with fryer oil.

Either its under salted, or it's oversalted to the point where eating some is like crunching a salt lick.

Almost impressive how KFC manages to straddle either side of the line.

Yeah that was them a couple of years ago. It’s better now. But not by much. It’s back to like 2008 levels, which let’s be clear is still pretty bad.

This was in the last three months. Police Rd KFC.

Yikes. Yeah I think there are a few who just don’t give a f sadly. Officer is DOG SHIT!
