When You Are Going to KFC, Do You Eat The Chickens on It's Own or Do You Also Buy Chips to Eat Together with The Chickens?

Having a discussion about having KFC with 2 friends. Friend 1 is saying when he goes to KFC to eat chickens, he would also buy the chips to go with it because 'who the hell eats KFC chicken without chips'. Friend 2 says he can go to KFC and eat the chickens without chips. Friend 1 is saying Friend 2 is being cheap for not buying chips.

My question: when you go to KFC to have chicken, do you always buy the chips to go with it?

    Usually I buy a combo meal, so the chips come along. But I have purchased just a bucket of OG chicken or wicked wings to bring to a party

      I take it all home, de-bone the chook, and combine it, & the chips in a blender with gravy, blitz, spread it on a fresh torpedo bun, and wolf it down.

          I eat the wrappers & packaging at Maccas, because the taste & nutrition far exceeds the contents

          Just buy chips with Chicken salt. Then you can have both even cheaper.

          Drinks are some of the biggest ripoffs in fast food and carry insane markups. I mean a postmix coke is almost $4 from Maccas ffs.

      What annoys me is when you order potato and gravy, but they don't give you spoons.

      • What’s worse is having to stand in line again on peak hour to ask for a spoon… only to have the kids at the counter act like it’s coming out of their pay

        Who eats potato and gravy with a spoon? That's what the chips are for!

    Chips are awful for your health and great for the corporation’s bottom line. Unlike Maccas, KFC’s chips aren’t even good.

    At the end of the day, the C in ‘KFC’ doesn’t stand for chips, so neither should you.

    • +6

      You're right, it's not the chips - it's the seasoning.

      The chips are merely a delivery vessel for the seasoning.

      "Unlike Maccas, KFC’s chips aren’t even good."

      Personally I'm the complete opposite. Chicken salt - check. Potato - check. Maccas chips are mostly just crunchy fat with salt.

    • +4

      Well Maccas sells fries, which are a poor facsimile of a proper chip.

    Take home the chicken, heat up some rice, eat with sriracha/chilli sauce.

    KFC chips are garbage these days, and come in poxy little boxes. Just get a zinger stacker and carry on.

  • Potato & Gravy, and coleslaw - are the only true accompaniments for Southern style chicken.

  • Yes to chips with chicken …
    either in a combo meal - or use the free survey (Ozb style).

    KFC chips are very meh … certainly wouldn't go out of way to buy them (+++ the regular size as of 6+ months ago, they only fill part way - roughly 1 inch from top of box).

    I eat whatever is discounted in the app. Be honest 99% of you guys are.

  • Now this I think about it, I can't recall a time where I had a burger or chicken without chips…..

    Actually, I lied, I can have wicked wings without chips.

      I bought a two-piece box in England once and instead of potato and gravy it came with baked beans.

    Call me cheap. I don't care.

    Are people still regularly eating this junk in 2023? Regularly enough to complain about others not eating frozen deep fried chips?

    • -1

      They are because 75% of OzBargain users couldn't cook a decent meal to save their lives and will happily eat themselves into a lifetime of type-2 diabetes/cancer/heart disease if they can save $2 dollars every time they order something from KFC.

      Don't offend their sacred KFC idols though, the OzBargain mob will come to your house with flaming torches/pitchforks to burn you at the stake while dousing you with their 11 herbs and spices.

    last I looked the general consensus was 'the [flame grilled] burgers are better at Hungry Jacks [aka Burger King o/s]', the chips are better at Mickey Dees (tho' I always ask for 'freshly cooked' to avoid the limp factor), and the chicken was better at KFC

    tho' I read yesterday that KFC has gone downhill since the originator sold to a corporation which has been reducing costs and quality and raising prices since.

    didn't find that article I saw on my phone but here's a reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/10ccd2n/has_kfc_…

    • The great chip shortage also impacts the quality of chips across the board. Australian junk food had tasted better compared to other overseas markets. Seems cost cutting in the form of lower quality helping us to catch up.

  • I eat kfc chicken with rice

  • I always swap out the chips in the combo meals for coleslaw.

  • KFC chips are the absolute worst chips in the known universe. I don't eat their chicken (whilst sober at least) but I wouldn't touch their soggy limp potato strings. Ever.

  • You Dont Need To Capitalise Every Word In A Subject Field.

  • Do You Also Buy Chips to Eat Together with The Chickens?

    Sure, I share certain types of food with my chickens all the time. So yeah, I share chips with my chickens. /s

  • Kfc make some of the best chips and some of the absolute worst. Seems almost 50 50 which version i get, last one was the soggy under salted version and i threw them out.

    When You Are Going to KFC, Do You Eat The Chickens on It's Own or Do You Also Buy Chips to Eat Together with The Chickens?

    Totally off topic but that title is the perfect example of why I hate the Title Case policy on post titles.

    On topic: do you always get a drink with your the chickens?

  • I mostly buy KFC when I feel like getting some junk food. Mainly because compared to the other options, it's kinda value for money. Full feed for under $25 and will have left overs for the next day.

    I usually get the cheap as chips offer unless there is another limited offer that is a better deal. God I miss the years I used to claim the long expired "Bring back dinner" docket deal. That was the best!

    Is The OP The Fu*ckings With The Us Ors Has His The Brains Been The Broken By Too Many The Chickens And The Chip?

    • Is it contagious? You seem to be struggling there…

  • Used to get carbs, not anymore. Mostly i’d do a coleslaw if i’m in for it ✌️

  • I just want the chicken skin

    • If you just want chicken skin, have you thought about ordering the Fried Chicken Skin from Papparich?

  • I'm just wondering just how many chickens you and your friends are eating at KFC.

    I'm thinking more than a half is too much.

  • If you are a cheapskate youll just get the 4 piece chicken and have a cheap lunch or dinner

  • zinger isn't even spicy

  • I always get kfc chicken with chips. Exception was when i was trying a chicken thigh because that was the most voted for chicken piece in the other kfc forum post. Still prefer drumsticks.
