Many Filipinos enjoy Jollibee's fried chicken but one woman found no joy in her meal.
On Wednesday (June 2), Alique Perez took to Facebook to express her disgust when the Chickenjoy meal she had ordered via a food delivery app turned out to be something else.
Perez was trying to give her son a bite when she found it hard to slice the piece of fried chicken.
When she tried to open it up with her hands, she discovered — much to her surprise — that it was a deep-friend towel.
"This is really disturbing... How the hell do you get the towel in the batter and even fry it?" she wrote.
Perez shared two video clips showing her inspecting the 'fried chicken' saying that it 'looks like a real chicken' from a certain angle and adding that it was her 'worst experience ever.'
She also voiced concerns over food safety, writing, "I can't even think of the other Chickenjoys" that were fried together with the towel.
The 'essence' of the towel would have contaminated the oil and the batter that coated the fried chicken, Perez added.
Within a day, her Facebook post garnered over 90,000 likes, 1,800 comments and 81,000 shares.
In response to the viral post, Jollibee announced on the same day that it will temporarily close one of its branches in Bonifacio Global City, Philippines.
The fast-food chain said that the outlet will close for three days starting June 3 as it "thoroughly reviews its compliance with procedures" and retrains staff to ensure that this incident will not happen again.
It’s to soak up the grease, you dummy.
I stopped at a Bush’s Chicken in Groesbeck Texas. While driving, I bit into a chicken breast. To my dismay, it had no meat! It was a breaded bone. Maybe they cut the meat off for their chicken tenders and accidentally??? dropped the scrap into the breading. Or maybe, they were all snickering when I drove away.
Sounds like Popeye’s—breaded cardboard.
McDonald’s is looking better every minute.
That’s one thing about the Philippines that I experienced, they are very strict about their standards.
“retrains staff”
Up till now, training had never specifically said not to deep-fry towels ... so how were they to know?

Guess it depends on the towel. Now an old dish towel might be kind of chewy, but maybe some deep-fried Viva paper toweling might be ok.
It’s a new product - fried towel... :-)
If finding out, when you go to cut it, that a piece of chicken is actually a towel is your “worst experience ever” you’ve lead a pretty charmed life.
Also MUCH better than finding out your towel is a chicken.
Did someone lose their towel? Towelheads...jeez.
Plant based?

That could be a hit at state fairs, eat then clean up!
All of my grandmother's bath towels came from Breeze detergent boxes.
Yep this story is bs. If a small towel fell in the batter and got fried it’s a pretty simple accident to understand. They quote the customer like a food expert saying the “essence” of the towel infected all the other chicken pieces. I don’t think so.
“Also MUCH better than finding out your towel is a chicken.”
LOL! If I had a nickel ...
This thread could be a classic!
