The alleged fried rat that was found by a KFC customer is nothing more than another piece of chicken in the bucket. 
Last week, a California man named Devorise Dixon claimed that a piece of meat that came in his KFC meal was a fried rat. 
It was very nasty, he said. I spit it out. I looked down at my hand and I realized that it was in the shape of a rat with a tail and everything in it. 
Independent lab results showed that the breaded lump was, in fact, a piece of chicken. 
KFC spokesman Rodrigo Coronel said the man who made the false claim wasnt cooperating with an investigation, so his attorney obtained the rat and gave it to an independent lab for testing. 
Coronel also alleged that Dixon lied about being told the piece of chicken was a rat. 
We did an internal investigation and talked to all employees. That statement is false, Coronel wrote. The right thing for this customer to do is to apologize and cease making false claims about the KFC brand.

    Crick and Watson did all that work, just for fast food meat verification? 
Actually the credit for this goes to Alec Jeffreys.

    Someone would’ve had to skin the “rat” to make the batter stick, no?

    I’m guessing Devorise has considerable experience with rats?

    Your suggestion seems obvious but I don’t think I could have done it. An employee should be in very BIG trouble because that had to be done on purpose.

    I would think so. That’s a gutter name if I’ve ever heard one.

You’re at KFC, and you didn’t go there for the nasty food?

    My fried rat never looked like that. Clearly an over dredged breast portion

    So it is chicken, or does it just taste like chicken?
‘Cause, there’s a difference...
