<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Kentucky Grilled Chicken makes me feel like I’m in some alternate universe where fast food doesn’t fill your body with large amounts of saturated fat and sodium, everyone uses a Mac and Oprah is the benevolent ruler of the world, occasionally giving her favorite things away to some of her citizens.<\/p>\n
It’s a world where everyone recycles and things run on solar power.
\nHomeless people wouldn’t reek of body odor because they shower.
\nIt’s a place where celebrity nipple slips occur with less frequency.
\nSinger Amy Winehouse doesn’t look so scary, like a banshee.<\/p>\n
It’s a planet where traffic goes smoothly like water through a pipe.
\nLots of leg room in coach class on every flight making it a delight.
\nIt’s a place where Simon is nice to each American Idol reject.
\nPaula Abdul doesn’t abuse alcohol to make herself look wrecked.<\/p>\n
It’s a world where phones and people remain quiet through the movie.
\nWithout the need to workout, every man and woman has a nice booty.
\nIt’s a place where Lindsay Lohan is winning Oscar Awards.
\nHeidi Montag and Spencer Pratt aren’t such attention whores.<\/p>\n
It’s a planet where everyone has fresh breath the entire day.
\nYou can make a plate for yourself before you leave the buffet.
\nIt’s a place where the Octomom wouldn’t make front page news.
\nEveryone would know the true sexual preference of Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n
But alas, I’m not in an alternative universe because I still have a flat ass and most fast food places still provide food that can slowly kill us. So I’m glad KFC is making an effort to make fast food somewhat healthier with their Kentucky Grilled Chicken. Pieces of the new chicken have between 70 to 180 calories and four to nine grams of fat. It’s significantly lower than pieces of KFC’s original recipe fried chicken which have between 130 to 360 calories and 8 to 24 grams of fat. A drumstick and breast of the new grilled chicken contains 250 calories, 8 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, and 640 milligrams of sodium, which is about the same amounts found in a Lean Cuisine Meatloaf microwaveable meal.<\/p>\n
Of course, if you get side dishes it instantly increases the nutritional intake to the normal fast food levels that you know and loathe.<\/p>\n
The Kentucky Grilled Chicken is marinated and seasoned with a blend of six secret herbs and spices and is slow-grilled. Its appetizing smell was similar to other grilled chicken I’ve had before. The meat was juicy, tender and really tasty. It doesn’t taste like any of the KFC fried chickens, instead it tastes more like roasted or rotisserie chicken. <\/p>\n
However, everything is not perfect with the Kentucky Grilled Chicken. The grill marks on them seem too perfect, making them somewhat unnatural looking, like the breasts of many contestants vying for the love of some B-list celebrity on a VH1 reality show. And, like regular KFC fried chicken, you’re going to need a lot of napkins (or KFC-labeled sanitary wipes) because these grilled pieces of chicken are quite greasy.<\/p>\n
Overall, I really enjoyed the Kentucky Grilled Chicken because it’s tasty and I don’t feel so bad after eating it, like I would with a Big Mac Value Meal. <\/p>\n
Fast food that’s tasty AND not too bad for you? <\/p>\n
It gives me hope that someday, when Oprah rules the world, she will give me one of her favorite things. I’m wishing for either a car or an Amazon Kindle.<\/p>\n
