 You can tell that you're getting old when you still call KFC "Kentucky Fried Chicken." The fast food chain went all acronym back in 1991 to try to distance itself from the whole "Fried" thing, which is hard, when, you know, you mostly sell fried stuff. And the fried stuff is goooooood. Back in the day when I engaged in disordered eating, most of the time my drug of choice was Original Recipe. In fact, I still believe that if a magic genie granted me freedom from consequences in any form, the first thing I would do is break into a KFC and eat all the coating off of all the chicken. And also, I can't believe I just admitted that. KFC is trying yet again to inject a little healthy into its offering, hitting us with grilled chicken once again. Do you remember Rotisserie Gold? I do. It was actually pretty good. Everyone thought so, but apparently people were walking into KFC with the intent to buy the healthier fare and then walking out with a bucket of Extra Crispy.
And really, who can blame them when there's crispy chicken skin afoot?
Personally, my preference is Boston Market's chicken, but since there
aren't any stores in my area (and definitely fewer Boston Market stores
than KFC stores nationwide) I'm looking forward to trying the grilled
KFC offering.
Also, KFC claims that it is the first logo to be visible from outer space. They are, of course, betting against the possibility that the first intelligent extraterrestrial beings we encounter will not be a race of super smart chickens. Because, seriously, that would suck.

FEED ME
Favorite fast food: Wendy's
Favorite healthy: Mandarin Chicken Salad
Favorite splurge: fries and a Frosty. Sometimes with the former dipped in the latter.
I'm playing too!
Favorite Fast Food: Chick FilA or Del Taco, neither of which are nearby
Favorite Healthy Fast Food Meal: Wendy's Chili with a cup of their Mandarin oranges.
Favorite splurge: Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza or the aforementioned Original Recipe chicken breast.
Man, a bad KFC meal once turned me into a vegetarian for about a year. I haven't gone back.
Favorite Fast Food: In N Out (luckily, the only one in SF is in the most annoying part of town)
Favorite Healthy Fast Food Meal: Subway 6-inch turkey on whole wheat, no cheese, lots of veggies and a little oil and vinegar
Favorite Splurge: In N Out cheeseburger, fries, and a shake. I am always defeated by this meal, though, and have yet to finish it. Someday!
Favourite splurge item: poutine, which some fast food places do sell. I've had the one at KFC in fact.
Favourite healthy item: Probably a Wendy's baked potato, or veggie sub at Subway.
Favorite splurge item: Double cheeseburgers at McDonalds (to add insult to injury they're a $1.00)
Favorite healthy item: Wendy's chili, (220 calories ) and overflowing with chunky meat and beans great for fiber.
Favorite fast food: Popeye's chicken!!! The nearest one is 15 miles away from me and it's sooo much better than KFC.
Favorite healthy: 7-11 garden salads
Favorite splurge: A large fry and a chocolate Frosty from Wendy's.
Wow, my answer is exactly the same as Nonk's, except I don't like cheese on my hamburgers. But I had Subway turkey this weekend (sometimes I get one-scoop tuna) and my favorite is In N'Out burger, fries, strawberry shake.
