Heats up food in half the time or less, and a lot cheaper to run, perfect for KFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love southern fried chicken when the big and small supermarkets tried to copy KFC all them years ago ....it was total tastless rubbish....but they learnt and most of the chilled southern fried stuff is really good...i buy a 10 pack and get 3 good meals out of it......they would be great served with a salad on a summers day and a rice salad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyH Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Looks good to me, apart from the Slaw. Boundary road’s KFC in Norwich was the first one I tried, and I’m not a huge fan, but do enjoy it from time to time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robden Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 When I first tried KFC many years ago (God was still a boy) the very first piece I bit into, the chicken was very pink. Never tried it again, so maybe it's time I did. The Co-op's looks quite good.....not sure about the coldsore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 IMHO better to buy the Paxo Southern fried chicken breadcrumbs, dip your meat and Air Fry it - so easy and tastes amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 I've said it before on a similar thread,,,, try Morrisons hot food counter for chicken pieces, fries or wedges. It's very nice and tasty, great value, but,,,, limited options and only lunchtime availability. I prefer this than KFC, which the last time I 'treated' myself too for lunch, I spent most of the evening sitting down in the smallest room 🚽🧻 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
