Does KFC use real chicken?

[Rarity Paige Belle 1,854]

I've just had a bargain bucket, and it got me thinking. You hear these rumours, but do you think they are true?

[hawkflame 3,310]

I'm pretty sure that you can't fake things like bones and tendons. 

 

Now the nuggets, on the other hand, are a different story.  Look up "pink slime".

Well, unless you're talking about this rumor, which has been debunked:

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

Maybe. Who knows? I'm sure they use at least some real chicken. They also probably use filler. (Maybe some of that pink slime?)

[Scootalove 10,689]

I don't think it's true, it is more of a legend that everyone makes up and it spreads like a plague.

[Rascal~ 657]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure all the proper chicken is actually chicken, though the nuggets are probably not exactly all chicken. And really, KFC do pretty well in the chicken takeaway business because they have quality with their food.

KFC does use real chicken. As @@hawkflame said, you can't fake things like bones and tendons

Things like chicken nuggets from places like McDonald's, on the other hand...that's fake.

 

I've heard you can tell if chicken is real or slime by the way it looks inside, though

[IcyHaze 594]

Y'all should come to Ireland, Our McDonald's doesn't use pink slime, and the chicken nuggets, while reclaimed chicken, also isn't slime

 

 

Although there was that scandal that a certain polish company was actually supplying certian brands with horse meat instead of beef in some low-quality burgers in shops....

 

But that wasn't OUR fault

Ah, yes the horse meat scandal! I actually had a Tesco horse burger, it tasted alright, but I prefer My Lidl Pony!

...owch... xD

That one physically hurt

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

No, theyyy use scootaloos.

[Jeric 46,848]

No, theyyy use scootaloos.

I don't think I can bro hoof on mobile so you get a Mrs Krabapple

 

HA!

[Radiance64 7,053]

Of course they do... I love KFC, and I'm pretty sure it's real chicken, the best even.

[Champion RD92 8,658]

I'm pretty sure they do use real chicken, I don't see how they could fake their chicken lol

[soniccam1 242]

I think they do, I think they don't. I don't know. I'm not THAT type of a person who likes food, or likes to eat a lot. Has anyone seen the movie "Supersize Me?" In the movie, they explain how McDonald's uses real chicken to make their chicken fingers. Surely enough, I think KFC uses real chicken because of that statement.

I'm amazed it took until reply 10 for someone to say that. 

 

I like KFC but their chicken legs do seem to be a bit on the small side. 

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,301]

If I'm eating just for taste (and if I'm eating from a bucket, that's probably the case), I'm not sure that I even care how "real" or "fake" something is lol.  That being said, I'm not overly fond of KFC's chicken.  Their biscuits, on the other hand, are amazing.  Made with 100% real, wild-caught biscuits!

[Shanks 10,816]

With all the crap that fast food companies put in their food pretty much nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to food. Fast food companies even use styrofoam and even silicone as filler. I know this much though, the few times I have eaten KFC I have gotten really sick and my stomach is otherwise pretty cast iron but it is no loss for me as I don't really like KFC all that much. I think the fried chicken at the service deli at the store I work at is way way better although I think the recipe changed because it is not nearly as good as it used to be.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,299]

If they do use real chicken, then it's probably not that high in quality - I'm sure they still genetically modify the chickens and all. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if that Snopes rumor was true.

 

The again, I'm someone who doesn't eat at KFC or other fast food restaurants; fast food makes me sick.

[Adorkable 2,737]

I used to work at KFC a few year ago, I'm pretty sure it's real chicken. ^^

[DATA EXPUNGED 324]

Of course they use real chicken. There is no such thing as a fake chicken. As to wether they use simulated food to taste like chicken, I dunno. 

[Alpha9571 69]

There is GMO chicken.Gross.

[Oblivion 20,266]

No, theyyy use scootaloos.

Ah, and here I was hopping to say "Inb4 someone says Scooatloo" Darn in maiq, dreams crushed again!

[Northern Star 1,023]

Legally in the US, yes it is real chicken. 

 

@Kujamih did you know there was an old thread about your question/status update from a while ago?

[Cheerilee 26,571]

No, they use human and horse meat - of course, it's only obvious.

[ExplosionMare 18,058]

I don't know for sure, but it doesn't matter to me much anyhow since I rarely eat there.
