I tried this the other day, and just accidentally had a piece for lunch once again just now. I'll explain that in a second.
First off, I love chicken. It is my favorite meat and I could cut out all other meats and be perfectly happy with just chicken. I also hate bones of any sort in any meat, even chicken. I mean, I'll eat it if it is the only option, but I prefer boneless, especially chicken. It was only natural that this new offering from KFC would be a perfect fit for me, especially since I normally enjoy their other choices for the most part.
So I went and I ordered a two piece. My first mistake was that I had no clue it was going to be the same as their normal chicken where they offer both white and dark meat. They certainly didn't mention it when I ordered. I'm not a huge fan of dark, so having one of the two pieces be dark meat wasn't a good start. I knew I was in trouble the second I opened the box. It didn't look ANYTHING like in the commercials or in the pictures. I know, you can't ever trust that, but it looked like a completely different product all together. It was this super dark crusted "thing". I started to eat it, then I realized the gimmick. This isn't just a nice single piece of chicken that you bite into and enjoy. No, it seems to me what they have done is taken two different pieces of chicken, deboned them both, and then pressed them together with some sort of disgusting slimy/sticky substance to hold them together, and fried them in a concoction not anywhere close to what it should be.
To make matters worse, the first piece that I thought was white meat ended up being half white meat and another totally separate piece of dark meat. I thought it was an accident, but I don't believe so now. Anyway, I was only able to eat very little of it. Just the mere sight of it disgusted me, and then the taste was awful as well and a short while later it made me physically sick. That never happens when I eat KFC normally. I ended up throwing the majority of it in the trash.
So how I "accidentally" had it again today, well I went in and ordered the Colonel's Original Sandwich. I thought this would be like what they have had in the past where it's one solid piece of chicken, like any other piece of chicken you would get on a sandwich like at CFA or wherever. Nope, it was just a piece of this awful disgusting boneless chicken on a bun with an awful sauce smeared all over it. I took a bite and the boneless chicken literally fell apart. It was, once again, two pieces pressed together and stuck with the disgusting slimy/sticky substance. Oh, and once again, it was one half white and one half dark so that that has to be intentional in the end. Also, like the first time, it has made me sick to my stomach even though I didn't eat hardly any of it and I tossed most of it in the trash once again.
It goes without saying that I'll never try it again, but it has turned me off of KFC entirely. I wont have a desire to go there again after these two visits for a long, long time. It makes me sick just thinking about it.
To make matters worse my dad either saw on TV or read in the paper today where it said that KFC was seriously considering phasing out the bone-in chicken entirely and replacing it all together with this boneless crap.
Stay away from this crap, seriously, stay far far away. Trust me on this one.
