I’m amused by things you don’t see every day. This week I saw something I’ve never seen before in all my days.
You may have heard of this thing called the “Keto diet”. I won’t get into details (not necessary) but it’s basically a low-carb diet that burns fat and happens to also be good for epilepsy. Someone at work just started the Ketogenic thing. Someone ordered a bucket of KFC chicken and she was in the kitchen taking a picture of it.
Intrigued by anything to do with KFC, I was curious and asked what was up. She showed me the bucket’s contents. Nothing but a sorry mix of bones and chicken skin. All the skin, in fact — the best part of the chicken! (In fact some KFC locations used to sell just the skin as a snack item.) “It’s the carbs in the breading,” she explained. I got it immediately, though not without pity.
At the same time it was a memorable moment for me. I’ve never seen a KFC bucket with all the skin left behind before in my life. And that’s why I chuckle!
Kenny could use a bucket full of skins.
Poor guy. My favorite character. Such a sweet boy.

I haven’t had KFC in 15-20 years. I found they went downhill.

Yep you are 100% correct. Every 2-3 years I say to myself, “I haven’t have KFC in a long time.” Then I have it again and remember why. It’s not good. Not like when families used to sit down and eat a bucket together on a Friday night.

The fried chicken they used to have at the grocery store was better. But I haven’t had that in a long time too.

Back in 2012-2013 I used to get that a lot, with wedges!

We ordered the Dirty Bird 3 nights ago for supper as the fam had not had it in a few years. Less greasy now. Better than expected actually but I had my KFC Bucket fix now so I’m good.

The food at KFC in the UK but I can’t say too much for the service. We had to keep going back and asking for basic things like spoons and ketchups.
