KFC — Review by Daym Drops
Not specified, United States — Fast Food, American
The reviewer tested KFC's new menu items including biscuits, fried pickles, chicken tenders, and new sauces. Despite initial criticism about the generic sauce packaging, the food itself impressed with flavorful jalapeno ranch and hot chili sauces that elevated simple items. The reviewer ultimately retracted initial complaints, praising KFC's sauce quality while maintaining that the branded packaging deserves improvement.
What was great: Soft, airy, fluffy, buttery biscuits; jalapeno ranch sauce with spicy, creamy flavor; hot chili sauce with smoky and spicy notes; fried pickles pairing well with the sauces; chicken tenders were thick and plump
What could improve: Generic ketchup and tartar sauce packets instead of branded KFC sauce packaging; inconsistent presentation and lack of attention to detail in sauce packaging
The Dishes
The review featured several KFC offerings. The biscuits were the standout item, described as soft, airy, fluffy, and buttery with an exceptional texture that melts smoothly. The fried pickles were a notable addition to the menu, pairing particularly well with the sauce options. KFC chicken tenders, made from 100 percent white meat, were thick and plump, serving as solid vehicles for the sauce pairings. The reviewer also tested a new prickly pear drink that was described as having a decent flavor with a good balance of sweet and sour notes, though slightly complicated in its flavor profile.
The Experience
This was primarily a product review conducted casually, with the reviewer using a new Insta 360 Ace Pro 2 camera to test the equipment's audio and video quality. The reviewer was particularly focused on evaluating the new sauces that accompanied the items.
Value & Pricing
The prickly pear drink was priced at three and a half dollars. Specific pricing for other items was not mentioned, but the reviewer humorously suggested the sauces could be sold as five for ten dollars or six for a higher price point.
Notable Moments
Soft, airy, fluffy, buttery. All to the butter gods. You take a bite. And that biscuit, the way it rests upon your pallet and it slides through your soul with ease.
KFC, your sauce package should all look like your comeback sauce with the KFC branding. Why am I getting ketchup sauce packets? Tartar sauce packets? KFC. You should be ashamed.
I take it all back. Kentucky Fried Chicken. I take it all back. My bad. My bad for talking greasy about you in the beginning of the video.
The Verdict
Despite harsh initial criticism about KFC's lack of investment in branded sauce packaging, the reviewer ultimately gave KFC credit for strong product quality in the sauces themselves. The jalapeno ranch and hot chili sauces were particularly praised as excellent condiments that enhanced even simple fried items. The reviewer's recommendation is to visit KFC to try these sauces, particularly noting that the generic packaging might actually contribute to their appeal. This review is best for KFC fans interested in trying the newer sauce offerings and those who appreciate humorous, passionate food commentary.
