OMG Doug, i had the same problem. As soon as i got my chicken box i got burned by the grease that was leaking out the side of the box. After i got back to work i tried to dab all the grease off but once i pulled apart the chicken it was still saturated with grease. And not 5 minutes after eating i had a terrible stomach ache that lasted a good hour. i’m sure it was the grilled chicked. Have heard others say the same thing also!

I went to a KFC in Queens….waited only about 15 minutes and got my free meal. They only gave out 1 side tho, claiming they were running out….despite a display full of sides and a lack of a large crowd. But whatevs….beats another night of Ramen.

I never eat KFC but this was tempting, so I got the coupons and decided to take my mom down to the local KFC tonight. After driving down to the place and standing in line we were turned away….well good for us.

Actually I wouldn’t recommend this junk food to anyone who cares about their bodies or how they look and feel. I should have never given in to my temptation and I would be somewhere in my life tonight rather than testifying against KFC.

This is one of the many distinctions between New Yawkers and the rest of normal Americans.

New Yawkers are bred to take advantage of the generosity of others. As though they are entitled.

Only in New Yawk would they trample women and children in an effort to secure a soggy chicken wing

redeemed my coupon (actually it printed two, so free dinner for the wife and I) I dont live in NYC, but on on Long Island. At 6:00Pm the line was out the door and everyone had coupons. Wait was about 15 minutes before ordering and about another 15 before getting the meal. Was it worth the wait to say about $9? probably. The drum stick and thigh I got were of the miniature variety and maybe I never noticed it since the original KFC seems larger by way of all the breading. It was good, but I think if I was in a KFC and had to wait on that sort of line without a free coupon, I would have left.

I somehow think though that the grilled chicken in a bucket would be sort of nasty. (drippy, slimey, etc) But maybe paid chicken is better then the free versions….
