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?

Zinger ranch rice bowls are nice. The chips are shit. Hot wings are pretty good though, especially with their supercharger mayo.

I had one for the first time in years the other week - zinger tower meal. Used to get them all the time as a teen :D my local KFC is new and clean, and has good reviews but it varies from branch to branch.

I fucking love the beans. I love them.

I had to Google to see if campylobacter actually existed 😂

It’s fucking horrendous
i started with a 40c temp when I had it and thought it was flu as I couldn’t stop shivering. Then the diarrhoea and nausea hit. After a week of the temperature and diarrhoea every 15 mins I ended up in hospital
17lbs lost, and 1/3 of my hair fell out

I don’t eat chicken now!

I don't blame you,I had similar experience from cheese from a farmers market i didn't end up in hospital.
I did however shit myself inside out for a week.
Insult to injury the most painful piles after diarrhea for seven days.

The original pieces are the only thing worth eating, the boneless stuff just isn't the same and the gravy is rank. The coleslaw is ok though.

Antimimisti · 19/09/2025 22:53

Following out of interest as I've got 10 years on the OP and never had one either. I've considered it from time to time but always end up having Burger King.

Something that doesn't encourage the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest for cheap fodder?

I love the 3 piece meal with baked beans. I just love the chicken on the bone and always ask for it to be drumsticks. Maltesers Krushems too. Yum!

SouthLondonMum22 · 19/09/2025 23:00

Boneless Banquet with gravy as the side and an Oreo Krushem is my go to order.

Can't go wrong with the popcorn chicken either, DS loves them.

MaloryJones · 19/09/2025 23:26

I am old school and my go to KFC is always the same

2 chicken pieces (preferably legs)
Chips
Coleslaw (or sometimes baked beans)

Zinger/tower burger with mash and gravy. Their chips are awful - like chewing straws.
