The skin on a KFC is wonderful..... But then it has to be swallowed. Literally, the most i can eat before feeling sick is that first bite... Too much fat-drenched horrendously substandard and unethical chicken by-products. I think the last time i ate a KFC was five years ago and it made me feel thoroughly ill.  :yay:

That made me want fried chicken in the most urgent way! Let us know how it goes.

Eww.

I always use a cajun-type seasoning mixture for fried chicken, but I'm going to try out the Guardian's mixture next time just for the hell of it.

I guess you could coat mushroom protein with the KFC flour mix. Wouldn't be the same though..

You would batter a mere chicken? We Scots will batter anything! We batter whole pies, haggis, chocolate bars and virtually anything unhealthy that will fit in a frier. But chicken? Where is the originality in this? I say batter something interesting:

These are burgers topped with cheese and wrapped in bacon with added hot dog bits to make the turtle appendages (http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/post/385824028/bacon-cheese-turtleburgers-ground-beef-pattie): surely something worthy of being battered, deep fried and served with special sauce and chips (chips = British word for steak fries).

Oh the humanity.

Oh that is so fucking gross...

If there are any vegetarians wondering why the rest of us can get annoyed by you... This is why.

I was just thinking about how I should make the turtle bacon hot dog burgers for a pot luck just to see how people react.  They are rather interesting...probably too much work to make knowing that hardly anyone would want to eat them (will gross out the vegans and anyone who doesn't want to have a heart attack).

Fried mushrooms are really yummy; esp if stuffed with blue cheese first.  It's the perfect way to make an almost zero calorie food bad for you.

Quote from: "Ellainix"Oh that is so fucking pure AWESOME!

There fixed that for you.

Definitely. I like making stuffed field mushrooms with mozzarella, bacon and bread crumbs. It is a taste sensation! Stuffed bell peppers are totally awesome too.

I'm not sure how big veggie products are in the US, but over here we have this stuff called Quorn. It is essentially mushroom protein shaped into chunks supposed to resemble chicken. It is actually quite nice but i wouldn't use it as a substitute for chicken, just as a foodstuff in its own right. Coated in the KFC mix, it might actually be quite nice.

Off topic but not nearly as much as the turtles... and an excellent opportunity to talk about semantics that are of no importance and will probably kill this thread. Muahahaha!

I'm British but I live in America. I find the word "quite" can be troublesome when American and British people converse. In British English "quite" means "to a degree", whereas in American English it means "very".

Examples...
In America English "it was quite a good book" = "it was a very good book"
In Britain English "it was quite a good book" = "it was to a degree a good book" = "it was an okay book"

I've been comparing British and American dictionaries and thinking about how I was brought up to understand the word "quite" and how it is used where I now live. Am I getting this right?

If pressed, I could probably find a way to relate this to KFC

Just trying to translate... I've been comparing British and American dictionaries and thinking about how I was brought up to understand the word "quite" and how it is used where I now live. Am I getting this right?

Yes, as far as the American side of things goes.  I've spent some time in Britain, but am American myself.  I still enjoy learning the lingo.

So the stereotypical bit of dialog we might hear on television in the US, being spoken by British (example):

X:  "That was really an exciting game!"
Y:  "Yes, quite."

The second person is not as enthusiastic as a speaker of American would imagine?

You a vegan then, or do you just like turtles?  

I am not a vegan.

Yes, in British English, person Y is saying something along the lines of "Yes, rather good".

I finally made it. The chicken was incredibly succulent because i'd used decent butchers meat. I think marinading it for 24hrs in milk helped (that was new to me btw). The coating was actually a bit bland. It definitely didn't have the zing the ordinary KFC coating has but then i might have been a bit conservative with the spices. Next time i might actually use a bit of MSG as i'm sure that will help bring out some sort of naughty flavour.

I'm sorry, i forgot to take pics.  

last night i made kfc chicken for my family and all of them was very happy and appreciating me for such a good chicken...i want to share my recipe...here is the link of my recipe...

I read that scenario as Y is bored shitless and is just being polite.
If an Australian says a piece of chicken is quite good, it's probably average or a bit better.
I think the word may be used when you expect something to be crap, but is surprises by being average, or just a bit better.
I don't fry meat.
A baked chicken with garlic under the skin and soy sauce, is nice.
A thigh fillet dipped in egg and breadcrumbs and cooked in a fry pan without oil is good.
I haven't come across a tough chicken, I think they grow them fast with all sorts of drugs and crap, they
don't get a chance to grow tough.
I like turtles but I don't like people eating them, even synthetic ones.
