KFC abomination

Had KFC for tea tonight, it's a rare treat and I was really looking forward to it. DP brought it back and it had skin-on chips, not fries, fatter chips with skin. Nothing puts me off more than skin-on chips, no more KFC for me.

I am very sad

You are so wrong. The chip transformation at KFC has made it the best fast food

MrsTerryPratcett · 22/12/2018 19:03

I LOVE skin-on chips. I know we are in Chat but YABU.

I agree op. We had KFC today - it was manky. The new chips are horrible, greasy, flaccid things.

Wasn’t there a twitter row about this?

The old fries were shit.

BentNeckLady · 22/12/2018 19:20

The old fries were vile. The new ones are so much better!

BK used to do the nicest chips, but they’re rank now.

MrMeSeeks · 22/12/2018 19:39

What????no!!!

Ffsnosexallowed · 22/12/2018 21:10

I think if they were cooked properly the new ones would be better - but they weren't.

OrigamiZoo · 22/12/2018 21:14

Anything is better than the festive fries they dreamt up last year shudders

Oh has just gone out to get a KFC I shall report back with my verdict in an hour Grin

Fi1982 · 22/12/2018 21:29

The new ones suck balls.

Chip order:

Maccy D’s
KFC old style

several rungs

Burger King

several thousand rungs

KFC new style

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 22/12/2018 21:31

I prefer the new ones Xmas Blush

Sparrowlegs248 · 22/12/2018 21:31

I wasn't keen on the old one, they were never crispy enough. Had the new ones last week, they were really nice but I imagine they'd be horrid if not properly cooked.

Whatstheirname · 22/12/2018 21:33

The new fries are 100 times better than the old ones. Old ones were all limp and flavourless and a poor excuse for fries.

Stephisaur · 22/12/2018 22:00

The new chips are, somehow, worse than the old ones.

I don’t know how KFC always manage such soggy chips. They are by far the worst.

I love the new KFC chips, they're so.mucb better than the old ones Grin

elephantoverthehill · 22/12/2018 22:09

Betty Confused Sounds racist but I may be missing something about the new 'fries'.

AGnu · 22/12/2018 22:09

The KFC near us used to do perfectly decent fries. The new ones are chewy & soggy & gross. DH wanted KFC tonight, I insisted on going to one further away where there was also a Burger King so I could get fries from there!

DH likes the new chips. I'm reassessing our relationship.

Bigonesmallone3 · 22/12/2018 22:10

I think the new chips are rank
Couldn't eat them

FissionChips · 22/12/2018 22:12

The new ones are just like horrible school dinner chips, they even have those horrible orange edges like a slug .

Fries from McDonald’s and chicken from kfc is the way forward for me.
