Relax they don't actually grill it. I just ate some, chicken tastes exactly the same. I don't like the skin because eating skin is nasty (and its the worst part for you anyways), but it is different flavor/seasoning. I think that they do is broil it on grill tray. Its not just fakey grill marks though.

Same taste and marinade on the meat though. I'll just get the regular chicken instead of waiting 10 minutes for the grilled batch to finish next time.

Look what you did OP

+ Show Spoiler +

Customers at a New York City KFC hoping to redeem coupons for a free meal were disgruntled when the fast-food restaurant ran out of its new grilled chicken, but Internet rumors of a riot were unfounded, a Kentucky Fried Chicken spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The place I went to in Long Beach wasn't packed at all yesterday when I went at about 6:30, There was a bit of waiting going on as they had to 'grill' up the batches of chicken. About a 15 minute wait for the food but like 1 minute of waiting in line to order.

There was lots of fuss about the original coupons not being accepted, only the ones from the coupon installer. So they weren't allowing people in the drive thru to use them, had to go inside.

Since I live in Long Beach it was pretty stereotypical to see 90% black people jumping on the KFC free chicken, lot of them looked pretty ghetto/poor and were even complaining/arguing about shit with the cashier. Its FREE you fucker.

All I can say is, you can't beat the price. Me and my gf has used like 4 of these already (: The chicken ain't bad, and with 2 free sides/biscuit is plenty of food.

Heads up to everybody that the deal is over. CEO of KFC axed the deal because it was creating unintended consequences. Instead, the alternative they are offering is that you can mail in your coupon + some sheet you have to fill out for a free meal coupon some time in the future.

Another tipster warns of possible RACIAL VIOLENCE:

I went over to our nearest KFC a few minutes ago (this was around 42nd and Park)and chaos ensued. Despite the very visible grilled chicken behind the register, the manager told everyone with coupons to leave and that the promotion was over for the day. The people there are currently holding a sit-in and refusing to leave until they get their free chicken...or the cops are called. Racial epithets were being spewed, people who actually wanted to pay for chicken were facing a potential beatdown, and the manager ran from the screaming horde. Oprah, what have ye wrought?

hahahhaha

who the fuck goes to KFC on mother's day??

It is their busiest day of the year. They have huge marketing drives to "give mom the day off, go to KFC". Seriously, biggest sales day of the year in chicken.

Source on CEO cancelling? That news is old and expired, There was already another article with KFC people saying that riot story wasn't true.

http://fastfood.freedomblogging.com/2009/02/19/el-pollo-loco-to-take-competitor-coupons/13997/

El Pollo Loco and Chick-a-fil takes competitor coupons. They offer 1$ off your order from any other fast food restraunt chicken item coupon.

edit- also a lot of people http://www.oprah.com/community/thread/107466?start=105&tstart=0 on this thread seem to work for KFC and giving the insider 411

It seems that KFC completely fucked up in numerous ways and now they are offering rain checks to people where you fill out some shit and mail it with your coupon and then they send you another coupon that is the same deal + drink for a later date.

http://www.kfc.com/coupons/raincheck.asp

After watching that video it makes me think they planned this whole thing to fail, so that they can get more information from customers when they send in for the rainchecks. KFC barely warned the stores a few days before the offer, so they couldn't order more chicken in preparation, then this douche bag CEO already has a video up? I find it hard to believe this video was made so quickly in response to everything.

PS -You should know, the COUPON software installs content on your computer that it does not remove upon uninstallation.

The passed couple of days I been passing by KFC's I been spotting around 5-7 cars in drive-thru lanes and always around 5-8 cars parked so I am sure america is getting fat off all this clammy ass "grilled" chicken. I still have 4 coupons left HEHE.
