    In case a double down wasn't enough, Domino's now makes pizza that uses fried chicken as crust. GOD HELP US ALL

    Meh. In my heathen days I would have taken down two of these with a monster order of fries and thought nothing of it. Now? Not a chance

    I won;t try it. I love fried chicken (and enjoy Popeye's), but KFC doesn't have enough flavor and is too greasy (and I'm on a low-carb diet mind you). I think they cut costs by using too much breading. I'll pass. But for those would enjoy this type of thing, enjoy your type of thing.

    Bojangles has them all beat.

    On days that I've gone hiking, this is a possible option. I worked at KFC for five years as a kid and I still love the stuff. I love Popeye's as well. Two spicy breast, no biscuit, no side, and drink water. YUM!!

    Mmm, I'll give you that one. Bojangles has the BEST fried chicken anywhere. :love:

    I may just stop by the train station on the way home from work and get me a piece now. Damn it.

    I think I had that before, but I think I had the grilled option.

    You guys are better than an advertisement. If it weren't for MFP, I probably wouldn't have even known this was back! lol

    Funny....in my heathen days, I barely hate ate all...too busy drinking and doing appetite-suppressing drugs.

    Oh there was drinking too. Lots of drinking. I was not aware that one could stop drinking Southern Comfort when there was still Southern Comfort to be drank. Mind blown.

    It appears the grilled version, from what I can find, has:

    480 calories
    25 fat
    175 chol
    1770 sodium
    4 carb
    60 protein

    Its healthy because it doesn't have bread, right? Anyway, that'll be my excuse >.>

    I might be a weirdo but I much prefer my own home-made chicken thighs! I have had KFC a handful of times, and it's great, but it just doesn't compare, in my opinion..!

    My poison was vodka. A fifth of vodka is roughly 2500 calories, which is my current maintenance. I went through a fifth every few days. :ohwell:

    I had one and the chicken was extremely dry. I may try and give it another shot but I had the grilled option and would prefer to have grilled again.

    I want this. And on the same day, I'll have a cheeseburger with grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun. With bacon.

    The macros aren't that bad really, over 30% protein makes it doable.... needs some bread though.

    I didn't know it ever left the menu. I do know that they used to have a grilled chicken one and it was awesome for my low carb diet...now they only do it fried. I think here in Atlanta, its a regular menu item.

    Fried chicken? Really? I make every effort to avoid anything dunked in boiling oil.
    No cheese sticks? Green tomatoes? Okra? Fritters? Hush puppies?



    Id rather die.
    Okay I am busted on the green tomatoes and okra, but I did say "avoid".
  • :sick:
  • Oh these are too good. Yum Yum. And NO I won't be partaking.

    that sandwich looks kinda yucky.

    now if it were pizza, then maybe i would salivate over it.

    but, no that kfc concoction, no !!

    Well that's nice, I had to eat out at lunch tomorrow anyway... Will probably try the grilled one!

    If they're still selling this when I start getting into my longer bike trips and the big kahuna, I'll stop at every KFC along the way :)

    Went for the regular one at lunch. Totally worth the calories.

    Anyone else hear about KFC bringing this beast of a "sandwich" back for a limited time? Who else is going to have a day or two where you figure out how to fit the calories? :bigsmile:


    You could probably make your own and cut out half the calories:) (No fun, I know)

    If you like that you should try my old favorite, Google "chilli cheese aplenty" from the beacon drive in. Its a massive chilli cheese burger that is buried under fries and onion rings. I have mended my evil ways.

    This OMG!!!! Lived in Sparkle City for ten years. My son still lives there and when we went to visit we had to go to the Beacon! Can only eat about half the plate but oh man!!!

    *sob* I stopped eating KFC the day I got off the plane on my way back from the States. You don't know how utterly crap Australian KFC is until you've had American KFC. After USA KFC, Aussie KFC tastes like sadness and kitten tears.

    Don't even get me started on Popeyes.

    I'd love to know how you'd get two fried chicken fillets with cheese, bacon, and sauce for 300 calories. And why you would want to anyway.

    Hilarious, I had always avoided this because well...look at it? I mean LOOOOK at it.

    Now that I'm diagnosed diabetic, this actually fits into my plan.

    Dear God: I never understood your sense of humour until now.
