Anyone been there lately? Price same, portions smaller than kids size chicken. Literally less than half the size they have been serving for decades. Pathetic, and reading on the Net it is not only here..........

Yes, it is a joke and not a good one.
I ordered 3 times at the new KFC Friusa with Pedidosya and had to put on my (eye)glasses so small everything was.
There won't be a 4th time ordering...

Popeyes did a Similar thing a while back.. but they used the PRICE to alienate me .. raised prices on some items from like $9.99 to $16.99. overnight .
not even gradual.
Never went back .
I can boycott KFC just as easily ...

Do check their ONLINE Prices tho .. there are a lot of ONLINE deals which they will absolutely not give you over the counter, inside the restaurant.

Seems They want the Credit card through the online system. Your name goes on the bag, and you Grab and go , like you are door dash.
so do check those Meal Deals .

Got back later than planned lastnight after celebrating all day/ my birthday at the beach yesterday with friends so KFC sounded like a quick fix to top it off.
Couldn't help but notice, indeed the 2 pieces of chicken I ordered were much smaller than in the past.

Probably KFC is worried about your health, eat less of that oil soaked stuff, maybe live longer...! Or not... 😜

Not really I ordered 8 pieces and they told me it was a special and I got 10. The 10 were equal to 3 of the old ones. I am not kidding............

Are we sure these are even Chickens ?
How does a Bird grow smaller parts like this .. why would the Farmer sell them smaller intentionally. Fattening them up is the whole game
it takes about 6 weeks
So this is a mystery

The last time (and probably final time) I had KFC was on El Conde in October. It was disgusting and the chicken sandwich looked nothing like the picture. 20 years ago KFC was excellent.

Have you ever looked at the chicken you get from any pica-pollo here. Much smaller local chickens. I'm guessing KFC switched to local as well.

Cristo, congratulations on another trip around the sun!!

Noooo, you sound like my son now. He swears it is not chicken because "chicken can't be that small" he says.

Right? Local chickens are not big at all. No injections or steroids I'd assume.

He just refused to eat it. He insists it is not chicken. He would not eat Pica Pollo either from way back. He bit into a piece, and it was raw, both him and my husband. Pretty much turned them off of fried chicken. In the US it is the same, small pieces. Makes one wonder where they get their chickens from.

What always irks me is the way they cut them. They don't follow the drumstick, thigh, Breast, wing, etc., they just chop them into pieces.
Another thing I don't understand is why supermarkets don't have thighs. BRAVO has tons of drumsticks, deboned drumsticks, etc. but not thighs.
It's not easy to get a breast from a pica pollo-it's always chopped into 3 pieces. :mad:
