Answer 2

Ok OK conspiracy theory buffs, this KFC business has been around for a long time.

I worked at KFC as a cook, so here is the scoop.

Yes its real chicken, its not much better or worse then any chicken you buy from your local store, unless u are buying organic.

Yes it is fried, it is fried in a pressure cooker, this is done to speed the process and make the chicken crispy when it comes out.

As for the texture, it actually depends on a couple of things

1) The actual bird it self, where its raised, how its killed. Some meats are tougher than others simply because the animal extra stress before they are killed, and as a result the muscles tensed up

2) How long the food has sat in the warmer after it was cooked. If the meat is served out of the cooker, it will be tender, if it sits there for 15 minutes in a warming tray or worse under a heat lamp you will get tough chicken.

In anycase, KFC food is quite bad for you, the way they make gravy is terrible, and is a sure way to shave off a few days of your life. After working there I can tell you that even thought i love the taste, i avoid KFC because it is simply unhealthy for you.

Answer 3

Maybe you should read this...

It has come to the attention of THE UNCOVEROR that a letter is circulating the internet, accusing the former Kentucky Fried Chicken of shortening its name to KFC, because it no longer serves chicken. The letter accuses KFC of using meat from a genetically engineered mutant bird-like creature. We decided that we needed to investigate. Here is a copy of that letter.

Unless somebody can prove otherwise, this is pretty interesting.........

KFC has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many People, day in and day out, eat at KFC religiously. Do they really know what they are eating? During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire, they found some very upsetting facts. First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the company has changed their name? Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC. Does anybody know why?

We thought the real reason was because of the "FRIED" food issue. It's not. The reason why they call it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore. Why? KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use genetically manipulated organisms. These so called "chickens" are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no beaks, no feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them. This is great for KFC because they do not have to pay so much for their production costs. There is no more plucking of the feathers or the removal of the beaks and feet.

The government has told them to change all of their menus, so they do not say chicken anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this. Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word chicken. I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know. Please forward this message to as many people as you can. Together we make KFC start using real chicken again.

No wonder their pieces are so small.......

THE UNCOVEROR contacted KFC's national Headquarters, who issued a total denial. No one at University of New Hampshire could be reached for comment. We decided that we needed to investigate this in depth ourselves. After some digging, we found a KFC employee who provided us with samples of the chicken used in sandwiches and tenders. Upon request, we are not publishing his name. We took these samples to Brandine University to be tested.

As the letter states, the meat was not chicken. The animal in question had some chicken genes, but obvious signs of gene splicing were detected. Some of the genetic material seemed to be from ostrich, and some even from turtle, or possibly snake. After considering the letter, the genetic findings, and conferring with his colleagues, Dr. Richard Payne concluded that chicken-like creatures could indeed exist. He also told us that probably only one company, New Dawn Biotech, was capable of creating such a thing. We contacted their labs in Alberta, Canada. Like KFC, New Dawn Biotech denied that they were involved in any such thing. THE UNCOVEROR will continue to dig on this one, and will update this story if we find out any more.

By the way, KFC has always been pressure cooked, or baked. It was never fried. If what the letter says is true, then KFC is NOT FROM KENTUCKY, NOT FRIED, AND , MOST IMPORTANTLY, NOT CHICKEN.

i agree w/ sam i too worked for kfc for a time loved it then now i can't stand to smell it but yes it has always been fried and if the chicken is dry well most likely it is old kfc is known to be extremely greasy and so unhealthy !anyone who ever worked there knows the smell on you is horrific i couldn't wait to wash the grease off of me.but the fact remains it is chicken always has been .and believe it or not ,only a selected few actually have access to the real recipe the flour mixture come pre- mixed.i still love the bisquits and coleslaw back then we had to make it from scratch!do they still?

Answer 5

I'd say that you have different folks cooking at different places. That and you might be ending up with some chicken that's been lying around all day and dried out!

Answer 6

Why yes I did, Did you know that some are chickens and some are turkeys?

Answer 7
