KFC has tried introducing grilled chicken onto its menu not once, not twice, but three times. All attempts ended unsuccessfully. But it must believe fourth time's the charm to be giving away a free piece of grilled chicken today.
Yes, just stop in any participating KFC today and get one free grilled piece of chicken. Wing? Thigh?? Breast??? Depends on the KFC, as it's each manager's choice. No need to buy anything and no coupon required.
In this push to make grilled chicken successful, KFC is focusing on the nutritional info. Taking a quick glance at it, I dare say that it appears healthy. A grilled breast has 180 calories, 4 grams of fat and 18 percent of the recommended daily sodium. Compare that to an original-recipe chicken breast with 370 calories and more than 20 grams of fat, not to mention nearly half the daily recommended sodium.
But in asking Americans to "unthink" everything we thought about KFC, the company is trying to throw 40-plus years of advertising out the window, something you can't just do overnight. And as Bill Maher puts it succinctly, its problems go beyond just the chicken.
Really, though, it will come down to taste. The original recipe still has its 13 secret spices. What does the grilled recipe have? Fake grill marks.

Faith - You can also grill your burgers at home yet it's a billion dollar business.
It's about convenience.
See, I don't understand why they haven't figured out that people can grill chicken easily and cheaply at home.
But, then again, apparently people like Deborah Davy prefers to buy their chicken from a fast food hut instead of taking the 20 minutes to make the meal at home themselves, so maybe they'll get some kind of positive feedback from it this go 'round. ::shrugs::
Just tried the grilled chicken. It's great. We eat low carb so with zero carbs we will be eating it alot. It's flavor is great, juicy and overall it's very good. Please do not take it away.
It was a great idea to give us a piece for "free". We then ordered an 8 piece bucket. Keep having coupons.
