I Succumb to Media Hype

[ralphmelton]

I was late getting to work today. I woke up somewhat late, putzed around on the net a bit, then cleaned the cat box and put dinner in the slow cooker before heading off to work at nearly lunchtime.

I've been intrigued by the commercials I've been seeing for KFC's popcorn chicken, so I decided to try that out.

Verdict: it's pretty good. The little bites of chicken are pleasantly crisp and spicy. I would happily get it again.

Popcorn? My TV-viewing deficiency is showing. What is popcorn chicken? Deep-fried nuggets?

Basically nuggets, yes. KFC is hyping it as an alternative to McNugget-ish things.

It's small bits of chicken that have been batter-coated and deep-fried.

I think the "kid" commercial on this page is the commercial I've been seeing: http://www.kfc.com/food/default.htm

huh. popcorn chicken has been around a while (at least, i remember getting it on CMU campus from "chic-hens" a lot of times). i actually like it a lot too. i like chicken nuggets as well, though. i guess i don't really see either as being better or worse, although popcorn chicken usually feels like you've gotten a lot more food because there's so many more of them 'cause they're smaller and all.
