The thing about chicken is that it is the inoffensive meat. Beef, pork - sacred for some. Chicken - SACRED FOR NONE!

Our household now has the solution to the entire chicken wars, in the addition of our deep-fryer. One of the (many) fried food projects on the agenda is:

KFC at home! Apparently asian grocers sell packs of herbs and spices (and let’s hope MSG) to replicate those of KFC chicken.

It’s probably worth noting that when we hit-upon-and-got-terribly-excited-about this idea, we never once considered naming it Red Rooster/TenderCrisp/Seared Fillet Wrap/Nandos at home. We want spices! Crumbs! Deep Frying! And some kind of chicken to act as a vessel for all the above! Who knows, maybe we’ll serve it in a bucket.

I think that in this sense, KFC has won the chicken wars. All the other versions seem like lamer recreations of stuff my Mum would make on the bbq.

Surprisingly, I’ve always been irritated by the lack of flagrant lying in the KFC Ingham spot.

“I’m a cook, there’s one of us in every KFC restaurant”?

No one’s checking your diploma. You’re a “chef” (why not?) and we’d hope there was more than one of you in every restaurant.
