@@timbospencer Normally I would agree, I almost always get gravy. But their salad is actually decent, the dressing is a belter and works well against the greasy chicken.
Actually this reminds me of my favourite KFC story. Back during eat-out-to-help out they had half-price meals but only for customers eating in, so not for takeaway, drive-thru, collection, delivery etc. I figured this out pretty quickly so got my stepdad to nab a table whilst I ordered at the counter so I could claim we were eating in. Sadly the person ahead of me in the queue was very angry they couldn't get the discount as a takeaway. He stormed off, I ordered, half-price ... they gave me the food in a takeaway bag anyway and asked us to eat in the car anyway because half the restaurant was closed for social distancing hahaha. I didn't mind at all.
So many times with the KFC app they advertise a collection only meal offer but when I get there to pick it up the system running the app at their restaurant has gone down so they charge full price. Apparently it's a common problem because they've clearly run the IT behind the app/restaurant franchising as cheaply as possible
Ooh, I don’t remember that (although I can’t recall having a KFC locally back then). Were their ribs any good? Ribs are a food that is amazing when done well, but really easy to do badly!
Its seems to be a trend of giving drumsticks, been to a M25 sevices at Cobham and both times me and my son were given drumsticks for all the chicken pieces ordered.
I love KFC but like all fast food places you need the chips fresh, our chips don’t come with skin on. I normally get a zinger burger box that comes with some sides, chips and a drink. I love their coleslaw and of course their gravy yum. Oh and it also comes with 3 wicked wings. :)
@@GreenoEats The 'new' fries introduced a few years ago are horrible. I used to like the old fries but since they introduced these new thicker more tasty fries a few years ago I will no longer eat them and always swap them for a side. And I don't like 'skin on' fries. I don't like the taste of the skin.
@@GreenoEats idk man i love kfc and have all my life and the old chips werent as good as mcdonalds old salty chips - kfc's chips now are decent - my fave is five guys or tbh burger king- they are mcdonalds old ones if you salt em. The main chips have all changed and all gotten worse - i used to go to five guys on my break for the small cajun or regular daily - and the free sauce too - nothing better than like 400 chips - perfectly crunch and soft inside and spiced if you like - the idea situation is ordering the food you want without the fries (kfh have a deal like this fir cheap q no fried only chicken) and just grabbing a five guys fries + milkshake because the crushems machine doesnt exist of course lol
It’s certainly got more expensive recently, most of their standard 1 person meals are around the £10 mark. They do still run some deals time to time, mostly through the app which are reasonably priced, but not that many!
Oh KFC. What happened? 30 Years ago, you were untouchable. Perfect chicken, fries were good. In a box. Get a Vienetta with a Bucket. Franchise has ruined it. Small chicken pieces, fries taste like cheese and onion crisps. Absolute dogshit. Even the Colonel left them behind.
The fries are the worst of any of the major chains that’s for sure. And I think that the chicken pieces are certainly smaller than they once were. But the coating is still great. I remember the Vienetta days, haven’t had one of those in years!
Top video Greeno! I think that was some decent value for money there. Ok I must admit I struggle to turn down a KFC gravy when I’m there but I thought the salad pot looked ok! …. Smithy
The salad was great, I do love the dressing. And while I would normally agree on the gravy sometimes it’s nice to have something fresh to cut through the grease 😂
Gravy is my normal side of choice, but I thought a nice fresh bit of salad would do me good. The dressing is probably worse for you than the gravy mind 🤣
I seen this today but was not sure the side was there for show or you got it as its not in the box. were is the salad but the chicken look very small pieces I got a 1.2KG chicken peri peri for £3.28 on yellow deal think makes more food than that. think they could give you a drink with it for what they pay to make it. there is a one over £5 special. but i think it is a wrap. there is really no items in kfc worth it now. the best was there lunch boxes that were £1.99 and £2.99 but they stopped them now its very rare to see a worth it item
I do like the KFC gravy box, I think that’s still decent value. But as you say it’s strange that the drink is the item they drop, as it costs pennies to make.
I do not want to be too harsh but whilst I love KFC, I absolutely hate KFC fries. KFC chicken = 10/10...KFC fries = 0/10. My all time favourite combination would be KFC chicken and McDonald's fries. I also love KFC gravy; I could literally just drink it. I often buy a KFC burger meal with gravy and dip the burger in the gravy. Ergo, a KFC Tower Burger Meal with gravy is to die for!
KFC gravy is elite. Personally I would say better to dunk Burger King fries in it (or even better Five Guys fries)... As you rightly point out KFC fries are an abomination, a crime against the humble spud!!

I wouldn’t touch the rubbish to be honest. I did however try one 30 years ago and haven’t touched one since after learning what chemicals are used in the food.!! 🤮
I’m certainly not gonna claim it’s a healthy option, and I have no doubt that as with most of the fast food chains and other highly processed foods there are additives that you don’t want to think too much about !
When did KFC put the mashed potatoes back on the menu? Mashed potatoes and KFC gravy on the menu, and you chose a garden salad 😂 TBH KFC chips are a lot better now they are skin on fries. They used to be terrible. A bit like the buns on the burgers, hit or miss at best. I wish they would do something with them!
I am normally the first to hit the gravy at KFC, but just fancied the salad (that dressing is just amazing) I don’t think I have ever had their mash, I guess it’s ok if you are kind of building your own meal, but to have that as a side when you already have chips seems like spud overload! I wonder if you can swap the chips for mash. Cos the chips are still bang average at best.
That is a bargain 👍 The fries sounded crispy when you bit into them??? Not a fan of greasy 🫤 Never had the side salad before but looked good 👍 Overall 7/10 good value for money 👏
Evening folks. Another great fast food deal here. Are you tempted to give that a try?
And what do you think of my choice of salad ahead of gravy? Is that sacrilegious?
@@GreenoEats Yes
I'd swerve the salad to be honest with you. Gravy all the way!
@@timbospencer Good lad!
@@timbospencer Normally I would agree, I almost always get gravy. But their salad is actually decent, the dressing is a belter and works well against the greasy chicken.
My daughter had those fries at a services last week. She said they were disgusting. Didn't like that coating.
To my mind the coating has improved their fries, but only from appalling to bang average!!
@@GreenoEats 😀🙂🙂
That’s a good deal tbh
It really is, half the price of most other meals. And actually cheaper than ordering 3 pcs of chicken on their own!
Garden Salad !!! Nooooooo.....GRAVY !!!!
Must admit I would have had gravy Deano. But fair play to Greeno! ….Smithy
I am normally a gravy man, I sometimes get the Gravy Box meal. But the salad is surprisingly good, the dressing is banging!
Cheers Smithy 😀

That's interesting to know, I haven't come across that myself, but something to look out for!!
Back in the very early 80s KFC did BBQ ribs😋 A 'Full House' as they called it Fried chicken, bbq ribs chips and a side. 👌
Ooh, I don’t remember that (although I can’t recall having a KFC locally back then). Were their ribs any good? Ribs are a food that is amazing when done well, but really easy to do badly!
@@GreenoEats Hi, the ribs were delicious.
Surprised they stopped selling them.
Its seems to be a trend of giving drumsticks, been to a M25 sevices at Cobham and both times me and my son were given drumsticks for all the chicken pieces ordered.
Cheaper than the other portions I guess....

The KFC gravy is the best reason to go there in my opinion, undoubtedly really bad for you, but so tasty!
Remember when KFC used to do the wedges instead of fries..? They were amazing.
Much better than these, consistently the worst fries of any major chain!

@@Ben-xe8ps I like skin on fries, but the KFC ones always feel soggy on the outside and dry in the middle to me. Not great at all.

@@XeNeXX i agree, Five Guys fries are amazing, and out of the regular fast food guys Burger King have the best fries.
Eating KFC in my country is like being a contestant on Fear Factor game show lol
Ha ha - the Russian Roulette of fried chicken huh!!
Goodness that's great for the price. Not had KFC for blinking ages. Great video a joy to watch.
I think KFC has gotten pretty expensive recently, so having this on the regular menu is a bit of a steal. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
KFC used to do bucket deals including the 10 piece for £10 deal which was the best - not any more though!
It’s certainly got more expensive recently, most of their standard 1 person meals are around the £10 mark. They do still run some deals time to time, mostly through the app which are reasonably priced, but not that many!
Great review, again.
Very kind of you to say
What a bargain Greeno, I'd have it!! 😋😋
Always on the lookout for a bargain!
My uninformed price guess based solely on the thumbnail is £18.
Shows what I know.
Wow, I could get this 3 times for £18. Not sure I would feel very well afterwards though 😂
ONCE AGAIN APOLOGIES FOR THE CAPS. KARL
No problem at all !!

@@GreenoEats 😂😂
I'd just stick a straw in the gravy Greeno... I don't get to treat myself to a KFC often enough to be wasting time on salad 😜
@@kevinkeane254 I have definitely heard worse ideas than that! Their gravy is amazing, although I doubt many cardiologists would agree 🤣
@@GreenoEats 😷😂
I seen this today but was not sure the side was there for show or you got it as its not in the box.
were is the salad but the chicken look very small pieces
I got a 1.2KG chicken peri peri for £3.28 on yellow deal think makes more food than that.
think they could give you a drink with it for what they pay to make it.
there is a one over £5 special. but i think it is a wrap.
there is really no items in kfc worth it now. the best was there lunch boxes that were £1.99 and £2.99 but they stopped them now its very rare to see a worth it item
I do like the KFC gravy box, I think that’s still decent value. But as you say it’s strange that the drink is the item they drop, as it costs pennies to make.
Is it me or did you used to get full pieces of chicken at one time?
I think they used to split the chicken into 6 pcs, but now it’s 8… one way to cut costs I guess!
How can the fries be not crispy but dry 😂
It’s certainly a skill to manage that. Dry in the inside, soggy on the outside. Almost defying the laws of physics!
Actually Greeno the drumstick and thighs are better then breast..
Yep, I would agree, juicier and tastier
Bargain! There's no way that salad would be replacing my kfc gravy though! 😅
Ha ha, you are by no means the first to advocate for the gravy over the salad 🤣
Love the Hot Wings at KFC👌
I find the hot wings a bit hit and miss. Sometimes the coating is so thick that you can’t really taste the chicken.
I'm not keen on their chips but i love their chicken 👍
Yep, the chicken is good, the sides are pretty good too. The chips are the worst of any of the major fast food chains for sure!
@@GreenoEats oh yes definitely.. but I love their salads 👍
@@sarahillingworth2718 the dressing that they put on the salad is amazing
@@GreenoEats oh yes it is 👍
I have never been to KFC, dont know why 😂😂😂 Maybe give it a try soon 😊
It’s tasty Jessi, but not recommended by any cardiologist 🤣
Whopper Wednesday £1.99 they usually give you cheese free.
Do they? The time I went it was just the standard whopper. Gives me an excuse to try again now 🤣
£4.49! Bargain 👌
Yep, compared to most of the other meals being about a tenner this is great. It’s actually cheaper than ordering 3 pcs of chicken on their own ha ha!
I love KFC.i haven't tried Popeye's yet

That chicken looks deader than my gran. See passed 33 years ago!
Well I would rather eat dead chicken than alive chicken. Easier to eat for a start, even Rocky Balboa struggled to catch live chickens!
That is a bargain 👍

Not a fan of greasy 🫤
Never had the side salad before but looked good 👍
Overall 7/10 good value for money 👏
Yes, that was a well priced offer they had on then.
Nice looking Thumbnail Sir
Great upload,
Definitely a bargain, 👍🫡
Diolch David, certainly a bargain compared to the rest of the menu!
