KFC- what do you recommend?

At the grand age of 41, I’ve never had a KFC before.

So if I was to get one, what would you recommend?

Following as been years since last order but the Bargain Bucket was always a favourite growing up. It's a bit of everything .

DiscoBob · 19/09/2025 19:54

It used to be much better. I guess the zinger tower has a certain charm. Their chips are rubbish.

TheExcitersblowingupmymind · 19/09/2025 19:58

Walk past it,if it's like our local one dirty facilities,dirty , sticky tables.i always think of that's what front of house is like what's behind the scenes like.

It's shit now, do you have a Popeyes near you?

A latte

Nothing. DH got campylobacter from KFC, decades ago. Never eaten there since!

wotsitallfor · 19/09/2025 20:04

Love a zinger burger, my guilty indulgence. Agree it’s not what it was. We live a slim chickens now.

OhNoNotSusan · 19/09/2025 20:04

personally i like corn on the cob

BruisedNeckMeat · 19/09/2025 20:05

What ever you choose, have it with the gravy.

wheeltrims · 19/09/2025 20:05

Has to involve the gravy. It’s filth but if you’re doing it, do it properly

perimenopoppet · 19/09/2025 20:05

Not been for years but I did used to love a Twister meal (chicken wrap). Never tried anything else as hate burgers or meat on the bone. The idea of buckets has always repulsed me but each to their own!

NormasArse · 19/09/2025 20:07

Battery chickens 😔

LittleGreenDuck · 19/09/2025 20:07

Trilogy Box meal: Zinger burger, hot wing and mini popcorn chicken with gravy side. I quite like the chips now, they changed the recipe a couple of years ago.

Kangarude · 19/09/2025 20:08

As others have said, it’s pretty shit now with rubbish chips that are always cold.
If you still decide to have it, try a Mighty bucket and additional gravy (to mask the crap chips). It has 2 pieces of chicken, 2 hot wings, a chicken fillet strip and chips

Plastictreees · 19/09/2025 20:12

Popcorn chicken 😝

BlackeyedSusan · 19/09/2025 20:14

Rice box of some description.

IMissSparkling · 19/09/2025 20:20

I was you a few years ago. Went for a KFC with my niece, can't remember what I had but it was absolutely disgusting. Never been back.

Sittingonthefence83 · 19/09/2025 20:25

Boneless banquet

Sprig1 · 19/09/2025 20:25

Don't bother. It's actually inedible (and I never leave food).

Vodkamartini3olives · 19/09/2025 21:10

I love a 3 piece meal with biscuits & gravy but I'm sworn off my local KFC after I sat in the drive thru line for 25 mins only to be told they had no bloody chicken!. Popeye's or Mary Brown's now.

WingingItMam48 · 19/09/2025 21:38

I agree Popeye's is better, but if you don't have one near I don't mind a KfC. I get a boneless banquet box with the gravy (which is like crack!). Get a krushem if you really want to pig out!

I had to Google to see if campylobacter actually existed 😂

BeastAngelMadwoman · 19/09/2025 21:40

Boneless Banquet with gravy as the side. And a sneaky extra corn on the cob or two

Pricelessadvice · 19/09/2025 21:53

Thanks everyone. A new one has just opened up here so I was wondering whether to give it a go!
