    Fun fact. That original KFC building was built on the site of where Newberry’s Funeral Home used to be and at first there was some resistance in getting Maori people to eat there.

    I have such a love/hate relationship with K fries. Sometimes it tastes absolutely wonderful, other times you feel really crook from all the grease…..I know it’s bad for you so I do try and avoid it wherever possible but I just wish it was consistent ( like Maccas is )

    @mn5 I had KFC for the first time in probably 10 years a few weeks back, but was a zinger burger.

    As I have mentioned before, IMO the best chicken was the stuff near the end of its allowed time in the warmer.

    The KFC special herbs and spices comes prepared in a package, then mixed with flour before starting the breading of the chicken.

    I don't purchase KFC anymore. I rank fast food outlets by their instore cleanliness and KFC always looks dirtier than others. Except Red Rooster.

    In the past I would have agreed but I found myself wandering central Auckland after our work do in the wee small hours, I didn’t eat nearly enough finger food so was pretty hungry and BK was open. The scenes were absolutely feral and I felt sorry for the little Indian staff members behind the counter dealing with all the drunken munters. Food, wrappers etc were strewn everywhere but fair to say the workstations were bloody grim too.

    I always enjoyed KFC, bit since being back home have found a Tegels takeout range, and actually really enjoy Nashville style or Louisana style as much as KFC. It has become my go to food while watching rugby, of course it helps thet my wife cooks it up for me and brings it out whilst I in front of tv!

    I love spicy food but the spicy version of the two you mentioned, I find awful. Really raw spice with no real flavour. Love the flavour of non spiced version
