KFC Shringage

I'm a thigh guy and buy mine regularly at Sirena Santiago...

I have noticed a big decline in the pigeon population here. Could be a coincidence.
Maybe they bought into a squab farm.
In Canada we call it the dirty bird for a reason

I have ordered some meals from KFC with UberEats in Santo Domingo recently, and what arrived was maybe 1/3 of the size it used to be. I could not believe my eyes. Will never order from them or visit again.

I but local pollo carbon. Full chicken 500 pesos and sometimes they are small and sometimes they are big, but they always taste great.

I do most of my shopping at Jumbo in POP, and when they have boneless thighs I almost always buy some! Quick and verstatile to cook, and tasty too

350 for 10 minutes in the air fryer is the magic formula. 15 minutes if you want it a little crispy. I have a nice BBQ rub I put on mine.

Don't have an air fryer, so stovetop works for me. I make a Jamaican-style spice blend that I sometimes use - yum!

Today my son did the cooking, used a harissa middle eastern spice on a boneless leg of lamb roast. I never heard of it before today, but it was delicioso.

harissa is a great sauce for chicken as well.

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.

Do you have the impression the chickens are smaller? Do they have shorter legs and smaller wings nowadays?

 

[Fulano2]

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

Nevertheless when we buy whole frozen chickens at Janet’s from pollo vegano they
easily weight three pounds.
I don’t know about American chickens but over here we have corn fed chickens or the famous “Bresse” and they are not much heavier.

I used to get harissa in NY. It came in paste form, in a tube, like toothpaste. Must have been delish with lamb! I doubt it is available here in the DR.

Dozens of varieties on Amazon.

 

[JLSawmam]

Gonna have to check out the harissa spice blends on our friend Amazon! Sounds really good, just a little hard to make your own unless you can find the dried chiles here.

Makes sense.

Maybe the chicken is the same size, but now they only put a 1/4 inch of batter on before cooking instead of the 3/4 inch of the past? I never was big on greasy battered chicken, since I was a kid.
