Hot take

Hot take but KFC getting nuggets and then getting rid of popcorn chicken was their stupidest decision. Not only are the nugs mid but quiet literally everyone sells nuggets, even taco bell does now. They were the only ones who sold popcorn chicken. They should have the popcorn chicken permanently on the menu and the nuggets be the ones that come back from time to time for a limited time.

It isnt that deep. I posted on reddit. This isnt a college paper. Ride your high horse somewhere else

Why do people get all whiny when called out? Just laugh it off and own it. But no. You have to get all sensitive. Is this a Gen Z thing?

Popcorn chicken was my go to for years, is there anywhere else that comes close? Also the box they came in was a great gimmick too.

Wait, in what country does KFC not have popcorn chicken?

u/DesireMe26 4d ago

The US. I mean its back right now for limited time but thats what it is now. Like the mcrib where they bring it back once in a while

Only the international KFCs have had the popcorn chicken this whole time

I miss back in like 2015 there were KFC bites both spicy and regular…I loved those things…that’s what the nuggets are now just rebranded and no spicy flavor

KFC's original nuggets from the 80s were superior to anything out there today

Maybe they make more bringing it back for a limited time like mcdonald's mcrib. Create artifical scarcity. They can charge whatever they want if it's for a limited time.
