Hasoos2,
Totally wrong.
Yes there not actually called Kentucky Fried Chicken because of a technicality in todays meaning of logic. And referred to as just KFC, but anyone with just half a brain knows exactly what it means.. As too being Fried before they reach the outlets... Well its a definate "NO" on that one... They are covered in thier "Secret Recipe" covering , and them steamed.. Know that for a definete fact....Pop C

I think most supermarkets don't bother with the giblets and neck anymore because most people don't use them and just go 'eww... chicken bits' and toss them out. Many stores will give you the gibletty bits for free if you ask at the butcher's counter (if they have one).
And they're not technically called 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' any more. If you check out their advertising/packaging, you'll notice it's all KFC, with no actual mention of what the initials mean.
That's because what they cook is no longer technically chicken, but a genetically modified mutant organism with multiple wings and legs down a long, deformed body that must be fed with tubes. That's why you rarely ever see the breast pieces (or 'keel') any more. While each of their critters has ten or more legs and wings, there's only one keel.
No, seriously, I think the chicken pieces are fried back at HQ, and sent out to the outlets. The pressure cooker/boiler thingie revives them with proper crispiness and consistency, but the pieces are already cooked.
As far as the 'secret recipe', the blend of 11 herbs and spices is available, and not all that exciting (hint: three of them are salt, pepper and flour). It's the proportions that are the secret, I guess, and that's a trade secret that doesn't have to be shared.
UPDATE: Seems we're both wrong. The pressure cooker thingie does indeed cook the pieces there in the shop, but it doesn't do it with steam. It's a high pressure deep fat fryer, which cooks the chicken much faster than a traditional fryer.
Here's a quote from the Wikipedia site on KFC "Some people think that what gives KFC chicken its distinctive taste is that, after being coated, it is cooked in hot oil in a pressure cooker instead of a conventional deep fryer. However, on his Food Network show Good Eats, Alton Brown stated the pressure cooker and oil only make the cooking time shorter. Alton states that The Colonel believed that properly fried chicken should take at least 45 minutes. However, this was too long for most restaurant operations. According to Brown on Good Eats, the pressure cooker shortens the cooking time but probably does not add any special flavor to the chicken. On the other hand, it does not adversely affect the flavor, either. As with the secret Coca-Cola formula, the stories surrounding the recipe for KFC also serve a marketing purpose, with the company playing heavily on the mystery surrounding The Colonel's secret recipe."
Apparently here in Canada, at least until a few weeks ago, the chicken was cooked in lard. They will now be moving to a trans-fat free canola oil.

Kentucky "Fried " is their trade name and they've made millions by selling it. Why bother about, let's all sit down and enjoy it.
