I started eating Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was a kid. Growing up my mom and brother both worked nights and most of the time I had leftovers. Once in awhile I would get a 2 piece or 3 piece for dinner at Kentucky Fried Chicken. As time passed corporate sidelined the Colonel and rebranded as KFC. The prices went up and they added more menu items. I don’t visit that often as it’s $24 for 8 pieces now.
They started a Tuesday 8 pieces for $10 deal and I gave it a try.
The 8 piece bucket is enough for 2 or 3 people. I ordered the original recipe and the batter/skin was slightly crispy with tons of flavor from the 11 herbs and spices.
Chicken was tender and juicy. Great tasting chicken.
I also tried the apple pie poppers. I liked the crispy outer layer.
Too much batter and not enough apple filling for me. I liked the sweet apple flavor of the filling but it was hard to taste due to too much pastry part.
On other visits I tried:
Chicken pot pie had a crunchy crust with a nice pastry flavor. Chicken was tender and had a delicious flavor. Carrots and potatoes were tender and had a mild flavor. Gravy was a bit saltier than I would have liked. Good tasting pie overall and a good deal at $5
Wings were 6 for $5. Not a very good deal as they count half a wing as a wing. I tried the wings with honey bbq sauce. Wings were crunchy except for the part covered in sauce. Sauce had some sweetness and a bitter flavor. Wings tasted very different from their original recipe chicken. I wouldn’t order them again.
Slush drink came in 3 different flavors. I was hoping it would be like a Dole Whip but it turned out to be like a Slurpee. Texture was icy just like a Slurpee. Flavor had an artificial pineapple flavor like you would get in a Slurpee. I would not order this again.
Server was nice and efficient. Place is clean and shiny as they remodelled a year ago. I love the original recipe fried chicken but not that impressed by other menu items.
