Free KFC Tour with 2 Pieces of Original Recipe Chicken, Regular Chips & Drink - Sat 23rd August

2030

Beyond that first step into what you can only describe as heaven, the luscious smell of succulent chicken spreads through the air as you take a giant whiff of the fresh, tender loins. Time skips a moment as you can’t help but salivate as all your dreams and urges are fulfilled in this one moment of time. Your heart skips a beat thinking about eating those succulent chicken breasts as you summon the courage to satisfy and throw yourself into those dirty, mouthwatering urges and almost… forbidden impulses. But before you give into the luscious crispy taste of dead chickens, you can't help but wonder what magical secrets lie on the other side of the counter. Forget about the Willie Wonka factory, the true wonders of this world lie behind that KFC counter…

    Sounds like a version of the old timeshare scam, come for a free weekend retreat with just a half hour seminar then bam!

    You end up walking out with a family dinner bucket and 2 piece feed…. You crafty buggers!

        I can see from your comments that you've got a little vendetta.

        If you don't like KFC then that's fine but all you need to do is not eat there, their stores don't break any laws and if you aren't happy with the duty of care that they give to their chickens then you should contact their head office and let them know.

        But frankly I love their food. Especially their fatty, non free range chicken in all of its murdery goodness.

          You prefer your chicken abused then?

        • +1

          @Jackson: I don't prefer them to be abused, if they opened up a free range KFC whose Chickens had a happy life and death and they charge the same amount for the food then I would absolutely go there.

          I'd happily pay a small premium, but free range KFC doesn't exist and if it did then more than likely their prices would be atrocious much like the absurd premium that is charged for free range eggs at supermarkets.

        • +1

          @rekabkram: KFC could make a killing (excuse the pun) selling premium priced free range chicken products. Though the may risk cannibalising (not sure if pun) their existing products.

          On a tangent; despite how popular chicken (food) is, it's unfortunate that the general name of the food products don't go by a different name (as beef is to cows).

      none of the chicken in this country are injected with hormones

        If i had to choose, id want the biggest bad ass chicken. The one with the biggest chest and legs with "Cage Life" Tattooed on its belly.

          @FourMills re your "Shut the hell up, it's free chicken" comment.

          Would you talk to someone in real life like that? I do worry about the future when not only does someone feel that it is acceptable to talk to a complete stranger like that, but also receives 65 votes confirming that that kind of talk is acceptable, and also that moderators also believe it is a perfectly acceptable way to address someone.

          I have witnessed the gradual decline in this websites standards and have decided to remove myself as a member, as I will not tolerate anyone talking to me like that, and the moderators have done nothing to address my concerns.

          @DisabledUser24293:

          I have witnessed the gradual decline in this websites standards

          you don't say…i have also witnessed a continual pattern of unreal whinging when it comes to freebies, and contemptuous food snobbery in every fast food related post. so i understand why FourMills replied the way s/he did

        What's wrong with MSG?

    • +2

      Sorry dude.

      It's flour, egg and milk powder and a packet of "mixed herbs and spices" which has the ingredients listed as "mixed herbs and spices".

    As someone who worked at a busy Sydney KFC store briefly (and regrettably) as a youth… I can't see how these tours are going to inspire people to want to eat more KFC lol.

    But +1 anyway. Maybe they've lifted their game since then. P.S. if you like potato and gravy, don't ask to see how they make it.

    • Did they use turnips?…..

      • +5

        Lets just say when they clean out their "Rangehood" filter, the bits are "Recycled".

        • +6

          lol I remember stumbling across these big brown blocks in the freezer that looked like bricks in cling wrap.

          Asked wtf it was… workmate said "that's the stuff from the bottom of the chicken fryer… that's what gravy is made from" while they pointed out where the luxury gravy cakes were salvage from lol.

          mmmmmmm.

        • +1

          @waterlogged turnip:
          They could call it Fried Chicken Permeate ;)

        • +1

          We tried to make gravy from the "fines" several times (we make our own - really-original - KFC at home) without success… it always tasted terrible. But I forgot! That brown wallpaper paste they term "gravy" is supposed to taste filthy. So I guess we probably did crack it after all.

        • +2

          Ahh who cares, the gravy still tastes good…

          Ignorance is bliss lol

        • @montorola: Gravy is way better at Red Rooster… and I'm sure they make it the same way as KFC. So yeah… even knowing/seeing how it's made hasn't stopped me from indulging in some liquid fried chicken crumbs lol.

        • @realfamilyman:
          Did you add gravox as well?
          KFC uses fines and a bag of Gravox too.

        • @waterlogged turnip: Is it bad that I feel hungrier now after reading that?

        • @waterlogged turnip: Last few times I ate gravy from Red Roster it tasted like it had chemicals / detergent in it… yucks :(

    • +1

      you got me curious, how do they make the potato and gravy? lol

      • +2

        Stuff that drips from the chicken + potato powder.

        • Supposedly it's the same as Deb, but a different recipe.

    • +2

      How do people think actual gravy is made? REAL gravy is made from the drippings of cooked animals. Beef, pork or chicken. That's where all the flavour comes from. If KFC gravy was made without the drippings and from the delicious chicken, I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.

      I know a lot of people use gravy powder and water to make their gravy, but next time you roast a chicken or lamb, use a baking bag. Once the meat is nearly done, pierce the bag and drain the juices into a bowl and mix with gravy powder and water to suit and pop the meat back into the oven at high temperature to brown. You'll never make gravy without these delicious juices ever again!

    • As a youth? How many years ago was that?

      • 7 years, I think. Or maybe 6.

    Lol feeling hungry reading about it… but yeah ^^ a 30 minute tour around cooked chicken surely would make you hungry, be higly unreasonable for them not to offer free sample food at the end.

    EDIT HOW THIS FOR OZBARGAIN SKILLS!!!!

    GO to

    http://www.eventbrite.com.au/

    Then type IN KFC and the suburb that a tour is available for.

    Theres like 2 tours for my local KFC.. that means 12 people in total will get a tour at that KFC.. Don't miss out.

  • If you've been having problems, give it another go. Links look like they've been fixed.
