IamA KFC Manager, I will truthfully answer all your fast food questions AMA!

Kentucky Friend Chicken or Kitchen Fresh Chicken?

Whose side are you on?

let's just go with KFC ;)

Why?

$$$

What's the food cost for chicken?

42

The meaning of life?

chicken is the meaning of life.

What are the seven secret herbs and spices? Cmon. Pls.

Tbh no average KFC worker knows. It comes pre-mixed to the store and the ingredients just say 'herbs and spices', not the specific herbs and spices used.

How many workers try to get some of the breading to take home? Surely family members would want to use it if they could get their hands on it?

Not sure about breading, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a whole bag of 'damaged' sauce in my fridge.

Who was the most grossest looking customer you ever saw that walked in the restaurant?

I know you're expecting the 'fat people' comment but in fast food you serve so many customers that they just all look the same.

I had KFC yesterday for lunch. It was the first time in probably 5 years. Has it always been that salty? Also, are chicken livers only sold regionally (can't find them where in the Mid-Atlantic at all)?

I actually find it less salty now than before. As for liver, can't say I've ever seen it in store.

If you have traveled enough to know. Is the chicken (or anything on the menu) better in certain cities or states than others?

state wise it's pretty much the same across. I will say that Australian KFC has way less sides but the sandwiches are really good.

What's the ratio for black to white customers where you are?

to be honest it's fairly even, we serve many Asian people as well. KFC is a diverse environment cue The More You Know star

Do you eat KFC often, not jut taste the good but actually make an order and if you do what's your usual order?

At the end of the night you can take home what's left over, so I don't really order it but my favourite thing is the popcorn.

What's the most thing you've witnessed that KFC customers would be horrified to know about?

Having to clean out the floor drains every night haunts my dreams. Food preparation wise, my store is pretty good. This is the worst thing I've heard:

I used to order the chicken strips as I figured it was the closest I can get to a clean piece of white meat at kfc, but it seems like they make it from the fake spongy stuff now, confirm/deny? I'm disappointed as it was a guilty pleasure meal and I can't deal with that fake nugget like consistency.

also further down you said you make gravy with the solid crap from the fryer... seriously? Is that a joke or do you really do that? It just seems like premixed fake stuff and I'm okay with that, not into mystery flavor giblets

I don't think they've changed the chicken strips, but if they have you might be the first area to get it. I can't 100% confirm for all of the US but I'm 99% sure they haven't changed it to the nugget type chicken.

Gravy is made from a mixture of hot water and a sent powder, BUT yeah it's also made from deep fryer giblets put in too. That's what I was always told by my bosses.

Is the vegetarian sandwich really vegetarian?

It's not in the US, but I think yes. It's illegal to advertise it otherwise.

Why is it whenever I go to my local Kentucky Fried I'm told that I need to wait 15 minutes for them to cook it? Shouldn't it already be ready?

A number of reasons. Maybe a shit manager, maybe a busy night, maybe they were about to close, maybe a bad cook.

In South Africa an average burger (called a rounder here) costs around 45 rand (roughly $15.) I heard we are being robed. What are the prices there? And if we're being robed, why?

I'm not sure about inflation rate for South Africa but that is A LOT more expensive than here.
