Fowl Play: KFC Shows You They Grill


This week KFC rolled out a full scale massive campaign to provide healthy alternatives to their extra crispy and original artery cloggers. The verdict? Delicious.

The initiative is at least in part a response to mounting health concerns over American obesity which manifested itself in the institution of laws requiring fast food restaurants to disclose nutritional values on their menus late last year. According to a press release, the new bangers are about 70 to 180 calories and 4 to 9 grams of fat a piece, or about a third of the respective caloric and fat contents of a serving of original fried.

According to "The Chicago Tribune" all but 100 of KFC's 5000 plus locations are going to holler. Word to Roy Rogers though. Their chicken was the best with that grease all on the outside that you had to wipe off before you could even contemplate eating it and then those poorly made but inexplicably delicious-in-the-context-of-things french fries.
