I like the Zinger Stackers, the wicked wings and the chips if they're heavily seasoned.

The chicken almost always gives me a stomach ache followed by diarrhea.

I find hot and spicy to be better cooked/more tolerable apart from the spicy shits the next morning.

Asians love KFC. They've done brilliant at establishing themselves there.
In the US, they're actually in decline due to "healthy" alternatives and meme fast food chains.

actual bone-in kfc chicken is so gross. there's this layer of gristle between the skin and the meat that makes me want to puke. I'm never eating there again.

Hot and Spicy is infinitely better. It's not dripping in grease, has crispness and the portions of chicken, particularly breast pieces, are way larger.

Unfortunately I live in Melbourne so Hot N Spicy isn't a regular fixture on the menu and is only released once a year.

Isn't that just original recipe pieces coated in the wicked wings batter? I don't know why it isn't permanent, it can't be that hard to make.

The dude was a complete bad ass. Got kicked out of the army for fighting. Became a lawyer. Got disbarred for beating up his client in court. Owned a gas station. Got into a shoot out with the gas station across the street with a shell company employee ending up dead. Owned a hotel. Made KFC. Became rich.

The local KFC where I live shut down and was replaced by an Arby's. The chicken was always way too greasy, and the employees were pure garbage human beings. Only reason I went there is because it was also a Long John Silvers.

Make your own brown gravy at home.
It only takes a few minutes.
Use plenty of butter/rendered fat if you like it extra bad for you.

Yum Brands literally employees special managers that take over failing stores, usually firing the whole staff because they're too incompetent to be retrained. This is always a result of poor management that it gets to this point.
I know a woman who does this.
She's really good at what she does and saves a lot of stores from closure.

I remember once reading a post on /ck/ about that.

The KFC in NSW and VIC is owned by a different company than the rest of the country and for whatever reason they choose not to serve it all the time.

That shit is fucking fantastic, and it's the only reason I'll even eat fast food at all these days... That, and the fact that the Jamaican manager of one of the KFCs in town is a total bro and throws me an extra piece or two even though I only go there every few months. (Used to work with him in a Jamaican restaurant in town years ago.)

>other KFC in town is run by Indians which makes no sense and they're total assholes
>they let other indians walk through their drive-thru so if you go there you have to avoid running over like 30 curbshitters and wait a month for food while they keep serving foot traffic that came after you
>haven't been there in 4+ years but still see a dozen indian college students lined up on foot in their drive-thru any time I drive by that area

these are my absolute favorite, great taste and pretty filling, the basket is 5.49 here and they let you swap the cole slaw for a real side. plus they have a survey on the receipt to get a free go cup with a drink purchase on the next visit, and this lets you add a drink for a dollar, so that's an extra 2 tenders and wedges and a drink for an extra buck each time I go
