Trying to tear meat off a chicken skeleton is an annoyance for many Americans, especially younger ones. So KFC, in what it’s calling a “game changer” of a move, is ditching the bones.
The Kentucky-based chicken chain is rolling out its Original Recipe Boneless options on April 14 as it attempts to draw back patrons seeking more portable, convenient foods.

Wow my Mom (RIP) used to cook those up for us back the 50s.

Banquet Chicken used to be really good too but now its wildly overpriced and over breaded.
There’s gotta be a BIG benefit to this....You know the bones are getting ground into something...along with the guts....chicken spam??...dog food? cattle food??
I buy Perdue cutlets, top it with pasta sauce and get a hamburg bun. Very tasty.
“City chicken” in Pittsburgh is pork. On a stick.
City chicken was a recipe for a way to cook veal to make it taste like chicken. It was invented during the Great Depression because that idiot FDR so screwed up the economy that veal was cheaper than chicken, and some people missed eating chicken.
We have the $5 chicken locally at Wegmans....excellent. I can get 3 meals out of it.
I’ve only been there once in the past year because they took our local one away.
Oh yeah, huge markup. Sams right next door sells a large rotisserie for 4.88, Publix sells 8 piece box of fried chicken (very good) for about $7.
To me, fast food is generally overpriced and not very good (or fast). I think it’s all to support huge ad budgets, that’s the only explanation lol.
I guess the one downside for some folks is you actually have to get out of your car and walk 20 steps to get inside...?
But if they get rid of the bones, what will I feed to my neighbors new barking dog?
Trying to compete with CFA.
It’s too bad their food makes everybody in our house ill after we eat it. We always say we will never buy it again. And then three to six months pass. It smells good. That’s about all I can say good about it.
I’m old and going to the store is exercise for me.
I like their crispy strips, and usually make buffalo chicken salad with them. I buy salad in the bag which includes red cabbage, carrot strips, and radishes. I add red onion and celery at home. Then I cut up the strips into bite-size pieces, cover them with wing sauce, put blue cheese dressing on the salad, then add the chicken pieces, and finish it off with colored tortilla chips on top. Yum-yum!!
I’ve gotten so I can’t stand the reconstituted “chicken” that passes for chicken breast anymore. I seek out places that serve the real deal. One way of knowing is buying it bone-in. Another if buying a boneless breast filet is the shape, it’s not uniform it’s thicker on one side.
The #4 Combo from Chik-fil-A is one of the best if not the best fast food chicken breast sandwiches, real breast, nice and spicey with the crust, spicier still with pepperjack cheese ( you get a choice, no extra charge), a side of waffle fries and a medium beverage for less than seven bucks. Ask for a couple of packs of Chik-fil-A sauce (great stuff, they should bottle it and sell it in stores) one to put on the sandwich and one for dipping waffle fries, and you’ve got a good, fast lunch.
People think they’re expensive but it’s cheaper than McD’s for their closest equivalent, which is not real breast (or heavily injected with water if it is), bland flavor, and that strange bitter canola oil aftertaste.
I’ll worry about my own transfat consumption, thank you very much. Don’t need any nanny-state clowns forcing it on me and ruining the taste of the food.
Why don’t they just make it injectable. I mean, if the objective is to save the fat, lazy, finger licking, booger eating slobs from having to endure any work to ingest the calorie laden crap, why not just mainline it?!? How about 10cc of hydrogenated vegetable oil straight into the left arm and 20cc of glucose straight into the right - it would be about as healthful as eating that crap or injecting super glue into your aorta. It’s no wonder that the world looks at the U.S. as a bunch of obese hicks - we exhibit the behaviors well!
People food.
aka chicken nuggets
Sounds a little like the Alice Springs Chicken dish at Outback, which is very good.
