About two weeks ago, I was a bit short on groceries and wondering what on earth daddy was going to cook, as my wife was still at work. Now I’m no slouch in the kitchen but I’d had a long day at work myself, so I turned around and asked them, a 7 year old and 9 year old, would they like KFC? Their response - “no, we don’t like it anymore”. I had to concede, they were right. Now, the point is, that if kids are refusing this, you know there’s something up.

KFC's problem is they are the most 'hit and miss' fast food place I've ever been to. Catch them on a good day it's decent enough (compared to McD/BK) - catch them on a bad day and they are terrible....they seem to be having many more bad days than good of late. The trouble is that an inconsistent offer will kill any fast food chain. Consistency needs to be one of their biggest selling points.

For those who do not know, "Chicken Tonight" is a brand of sauce intended to be added to chicken pieces in a frying pan, available in flavors such as Honey & Mustard, Country French and Thai Green Curry. Initially launched on October 23, 1990 under Unilever's Ragú brand in the United States and Canada, it was launched in the United Kingdom under the Knorr brand in 1993, while the same year, Chicken Tonight made its way to Oceania under the Raguletto brand. As of 2015, Chicken Tonight is a standalone brand. The associated advertising slogan is "I feel like Chicken Tonight". In one series of television ads, these words were sung by actors as they 'flapped' their arms in a movement similar to the dance "The Chicken"

No-one expects haute cuisine at either place, but it's got to the stage where you can eat proper food for the same price if you're willing to wait.

@@billk9856 Yes, and there isn't one reason for it but several. 1) Americans while living in Japan during the '70s that wanted turkey for Christmas would commonly get KFC as a substitute. 2) Takeshi Okawara who was the first manager of KFC Japan introduced the ‘Kentucky Fried Christmas’ promotion in 1974 in Japan which included a fried chicken meal known as the Party Barrel. This did bring some success but what cemented it was Okaware used to dress up as Santa and go to Kindergarten classes giving kids fried chicken which they started to associate with the holiday. Usually in Japan if you want the special you should order in advance and it includes a bunch of things including Christmas cake.

Hi Gary. So KFC over the past 10 to 15 years in the UK has lost its pizazz. They changed the chips, from pealed to unpealed. Their gravy sauce was so amazing years ago, now it doesn’t taste, or look how it did when it was nice. Their wings are off sparrows not chickens, and their burgers are always limp. Some franchises are soooo bad, some are edible, but you always feel mugged off after you have finished eating……. If you notice, KFC restaurants are hardly ever busy now days. And their prices are a joke.

Kfc is awful now compared to years back, competition like popeyes and jollibee are much better in terms of texture and flavouring. £10 is now the norm for a fast food meal (baring McDonald's), which is unheard of pre-brexit. £15 for that is daylight robbery, better off going to nandos.

Not sure about the post-Brexit relevance to be honest. Cost of living is a somewhat global crisis in recent years and McDonald’s actually costs more on average in France, Germany, and the Netherlands for example. There are many other factors for this such as the covid pandemic, and wars affecting fuel and energy prices. But I do agree that your low tier fast food places like McDonald’s and KFC have become too expensive to be worth it in comparison to some other fast food places that are a bit better

I really find KFC to be expensive, the chips are usually just warm and limp, the chicken portions are small nothing and tastes the same as it did years ago when I was a kid (then it was so tasty and a real treat)! I once tried the KFC Chicken fillet burger because i find the orginal chicken piece meal rather sad and lacking any real flavour and it was my lunch break at work where there was nowhere else to eat. But a sandwhich from the garage would have been nicer. I would have rather gone hungry than eat what Igot from KFC, It was so dry to eat, honestly it was unpleasent! Dixy chicken is cheaper and most in most outlets so much tastier! I love your videos and hope you keep makingg them. Hope you have a great new year Gary!

My friends and I and my parents used to always buy a KFC Bucket, chicken seemed bigger and more tasty back then. Fries was better too. Can’t have kfc fries without dipping in Gravy. It’s not so bad the chicken on a good day, but they have more bad days than good. I rarely go these days, still amazes me how my local KFCs (3 in our town of Ipswich) everyday at leaving off time they are all mostly queuing up outside the carparks onto the roads I always think what’s wrong with these people it’s rarely good anymore

I haven’t eaten KFC for over 20 years now and it looks like nothing has changed. When they became KFC instead of Kentucky Fried Chicken, the official reason given was that they wanted to drop the word ‘Fried’ for health reasons. There was a rumour going around in the States at the time that they did it to remove the word ‘Chicken’ rather than the word ‘Fried’ because the birds were so genetically modified that 8 out of 10 citizens would not recognise it as a chicken. Sadly McDonalds and KFC are world leaders partly because they sell in huge volumes in the third world to people who see it as somehow special or exotic. Ironically most of these places produce cheap street food which is way better than anything KFC or McD’s off at a fraction of the price! 😏

When my mum was alive, some 20 years ago, her absolute favourite was KFC. She was very ill, but had KFC as her last meal, which I took to the hospital for her. It used to be bloody delicious, and top quality, but the last couple of times I've had it, its been awful! Recipe has almost certainly changed, and the piece size has shrunk. In fact, back in the day, if you ordered a bucket, you'd get 2 or 3 keel pieces (breast) 3 or 4 thighs/ribs, and 2/3 drumsticks.. now, it's 1 keel (if you're lucky) 2 or 3 thigh/ribs, and 6 or 7 of the cheapest of all, the drumstick.. The chips are bland, and it's bloody expensive.. All in all, its not what it once was... Also, the taste has definitely changed, as has the texture of the coating.. I'm sure they don't change the oil as often as they should either..

Here in Australia, our KFC chips has chicken salt, so I always ask for extra salt when I get KFC, far superior to Maccas and Hungry Jacks (Burger King). We're also lucky to have an alternative fast food chicken joint called 'Red Rooster', which sells a mix of fried and BBQ chicken (although in recent years they've moved away from BBQ chicken to fried chicken). Apart from that, we don't really have any high market fried chicken places that do an American style fried chicken. Any high end places tends to do the Korean version of fried chicken, which I guess makes sense given Australia's access to Asia, compared to the UK. Just to add, chicken salt does not contain any actual chicken, it's called chicken salt as it was originally made to be put onto chickens, fish and chip shops and chicken shops then started putting it on chips and other fried products and it took off with the public. Also, it's an Australian invention, first created in Adelaide!

One thing to point out that a Zinger Tower box meal in a normal franchise is under £10 (I think it's £9.49) and not £15 and comes with everything shown here (burger, 2 hotwings, fries, drink and side, coleslaw in this case) minus the mini fillet (which you can add 2 for £1.99, so giving under £12 in total (£11.48 if memory is correct) for slightly more, there are ways to maximise value if you know the menu a little better. I suspect that this is a premium location (mall or services) so there are extra overheads and the price is increased. Also services and malls are usually the worst quality of meal and even more variable. Our little local franchise store is generally very good and it's not often you get a duff meal (dry chicken or soggy fires) but it does happen. I prefer the straight zinger burger or the stacker as a hash brown for me in a burger is just a lazy bulker and adds nothing, some smoked bacon is a far better addition, the Supercharger mayo adds something but generally I prefer with straight mayo. The hotwings can vary even in the franchise, they can sometimes kick and other times you wonder where it's gone (spice) which seems odd being that I suspect they are delivered frozen (so it points to a distro problem), they are small but when they are good and you paid £2 for 3 there aren't too bad value. Feeding a family of 4 is done for under £40 quite easily and we happily use our local franchise for a cheap eat and 9 out of 10 times it is perfectly acceptable (you have to be realistic for the price as it's never going to set the world alight so acceptable is all it will ever be). Never tried fowl but I will when I see it just to compare, but it will likely just be me or me and my wife and not 2/3 kids as we'd probably prefer to spend a bit more for a family meal elsewhere a bit less fastfoody for the money. I am not the biggest fan of the fries even when not soggy but they are better than they used to be.

Fowl and not foul. A burger should NEVER have a brioche bun. Never.

Agree. A brioche is nice at breakfast but otherwise is a bit cloying. These silly trends where suddenly you can’t get a sandwich that isn’t on a brioche are annoying.

Great video, Gary! I think I'll give Fowl a visit when I visit London next. My Wife and I were feeling lazy a few days ago so ordered a KFC for the first time in ages and it was perfectly horrid. I haven't eaten food that bad in a long while, but, lesson learned! A big Happy New Year to you and the Camera Man!

KFC is nothing compared to what it was like in the 70/80s. The chicken these days taste very watery. They lost my custom years ago.

Come on Gary - what do you expect? It's a bit like a professional doing a professional comparative wine tasting of a Chateau Neuf de Pape and a Fanta - a bit silly perhaps? What do you expect from these fast-food, mass-produced and standardised snack bars?

When I go to KFC here in the US, I get the 3 piece chicken with mashed potatoes, coleslaw and a biscuit (American biscuit, not a British cookie). I wait until they have a coupon in our local paper that comes out on Thursday with adds for all of the stores and coupons for fast food. KFC is not bad and is close to home. And with a coupon, usually for a dollar of two off, it is a good deal. You should have just had CHICKEN and compared the flavor, juiciness and price.

what are American biscuits? Are they like cobblers?
