Beyond that first step into what you can only describe as heaven, the luscious smell of succulent chicken spreads through the air as you take a giant whiff of the fresh, tender loins. Time skips a moment as you can’t help but salivate as all your dreams and urges are fulfilled in this one moment of time. Your heart skips a beat thinking about eating those succulent chicken breasts as you summon the courage to satisfy and throw yourself into those dirty, mouthwatering urges and almost… forbidden impulses. But before you give into the luscious crispy taste of dead chickens, you can't help but wonder what magical secrets lie on the other side of the counter. Forget about the Willie Wonka factory, the true wonders of this world lie behind that KFC counter…

    Sounds like a version of the old timeshare scam, come for a free weekend retreat with just a half hour seminar then bam!

    You end up walking out with a family dinner bucket and 2 piece feed…. You crafty buggers!

        I can see from your comments that you've got a little vendetta.

        If you don't like KFC then that's fine but all you need to do is not eat there, their stores don't break any laws and if you aren't happy with the duty of care that they give to their chickens then you should contact their head office and let them know.

        But frankly I love their food. Especially their fatty, non free range chicken in all of its murdery goodness.

          @Jackson: I don't prefer them to be abused, if they opened up a free range KFC whose Chickens had a happy life and death and they charge the same amount for the food then I would absolutely go there.

          I'd happily pay a small premium, but free range KFC doesn't exist and if it did then more than likely their prices would be atrocious much like the absurd premium that is charged for free range eggs at supermarkets.

          @rekabkram: KFC could make a killing (excuse the pun) selling premium priced free range chicken products. Though the may risk cannibalising (not sure if pun) their existing products.

          On a tangent; despite how popular chicken (food) is, it's unfortunate that the general name of the food products don't go by a different name (as beef is to cows).

          Would you talk to someone in real life like that? I do worry about the future when not only does someone feel that it is acceptable to talk to a complete stranger like that, but also receives 65 votes confirming that that kind of talk is acceptable, and also that moderators also believe it is a perfectly acceptable way to address someone.

          I have witnessed the gradual decline in this websites standards and have decided to remove myself as a member, as I will not tolerate anyone talking to me like that, and the moderators have done nothing to address my concerns.

      How do people think actual gravy is made? REAL gravy is made from the drippings of cooked animals. Beef, pork or chicken. That's where all the flavour comes from. If KFC gravy was made without the drippings and from the delicious chicken, I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.

      I know a lot of people use gravy powder and water to make their gravy, but next time you roast a chicken or lamb, use a baking bag. Once the meat is nearly done, pierce the bag and drain the juices into a bowl and mix with gravy powder and water to suit and pop the meat back into the oven at high temperature to brown. You'll never make gravy without these delicious juices ever again!
