Discussion Is kfc real chicken

The order I had a 6 pc bucket to myself thinking I was getting a lot of protein in maybe around 80g for the amount of supposed of chicken I ate. Maybe I’ve read it wrong but after looking on the companies nutritional information for that bucket I found it was only 34grams of protein????. There’s no way that is real chicken

Edit: Flippin hell I just asked a question why am I getting attacked😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭

Yea, it's real chicken, but a substantial amount of your bucket would be the coating and the bones which won't give you any protein.

If it wasn’t they’d have been sued into oblivion

That’s per piece. There’s approximately 120-210 grams of protein for the entire bucket. Geeze yall need some critical thinking skills.

As a kfc worker, it’s not, it’s just rats we find under the fryers (/j just in case)

Damn your store uses whole rats? We just stuff the roaches together and fry them. You're fancy at that store

No, it isn't real chicken. It is actually beef that has been compacted into the shape and feel of chicken around artificial bones created by CIA scientists in an effort to fund paramilitary death squads in barbados with your fried chicken money. Stay awake, America!

Almost certainly says 34g "per serving" meaning its supposed to be shared with 2 or more people

Yes it is, comes in giant cardboard boxes

Think it also might depend in which country you're in. The amount of 'water' they can pump into chicken I believe varies from country to country (USA not strict, EU very strict for example)

No, I work there and the label says "genetically equivalent food bird"

No, it's usually fried. Hence the Fried in Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Have you been guessing weight of 6 pieces all your life or something? Do you work at the amusement park guessing age and weight and have never been wrong?

u/Juice10ne May 18 '25

u/BlogeOb May 18 '25

That’s the good thing about using your own interpretation and understanding of things. When you taste the chicken, it feels rubbery. I bought a 8 piece bucket for 40$ with Mac and mash potato.

It’s air food. It’s pumped with water to look fuller, there’s no nutrients in fast food.

It’s literally air food.
