Kentucky Fried Chicken

10 million. And I was one of them.
Yup, that’s how many Double Downs have been sold in just a few short weeks. I visited this KFC with the boy to sample one, and was pleasantly surprised by the quick service, relatively clean restaurant, and of course, deliciously greasy fried chicken.
With the Double Down being a fairly new product, I expected a bit of a wait, but this location had the double decker chicken assembly line down pat. And while this is certainly not a health food, I found just the Double Down more than filling enough for a meal on its own –no side needed. Now only if they would serve Diet Coke instead of Pepsi…

Maybe is was just starving. But KFC just hits the spot for me. I worked at KFC all through HS and some of college, so you would think that I would HATE KFC, well i don’t. There is something about those special spices in the pressure cooked original recipe that I can’t seem to get enough of. I always ask them to get my chicken from the back (cuz I know all about that chicken sitting under the lights— dry and nasty). KFC — you are still cool with me.

I typically roll my eyes at any 5-​star reviews given to international fast food chains (im looking at you, the guy who reviewed the taco bell across the street) That said, I really have to admit some of the major fast food places really do some things right.
Anyhow, I’ve eaten a fair amount of fried chicken in my life. I just happen to think KFC’s is delicious! Jane and I decided to get a bucket the other night and it was juicy and tender. The breading was seasoned perfectly, the amount of grease was decadent without being ridiculous, and they put an addictive chemical in their chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly.
I will continue to note that no one, any place on planet earth, can beat KFC’s cole slaw. The slaw is really manna from heaven. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life it would either be Italian Beef sandwiches from Portillo’s, or KFC cole slaw.
The rest of the sides there are average to blah. The biscuits turn into hockey pucks after 10 minutes. The gravy is so-​so, as are the mashed potatoes aren’t all that great. I avoid the rest of the sides.
But mmmmm that chicken!
