Chicken is a common ingredient that is shared between both the poor and the rich due to its flexibility and abundance. It can also be argued as both the healthiest and unhealthiest depending on its preparation – The word diet makes us think of healthy meals such as chicken and rice yet ironically, fried chicken can be related to obesity. Both ends of the spectrum involve chicken.

I will be touching on the topic of Fried Chicken and its sudden decline in enjoyment. We will be looking at two types of fried chicken – Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and its comparison to McDonald’s.

For lunch today (15-06-19), I was given the options between KFC or McDonald’s and opted in for KFC for a change. I have never been a large fan of KFC since it’s pretty filthy – even considering that it is a fast food – but there are times where I will crave some Wicked Wings or even a piece of Original Recipe. I ordered a Bucket for One which included 3x Original Recipe, 2x Chicken Tenders, 1x Potato and Gravy, 1x Chips, 1x Dinner roll and 1x Drink (but we will only be focusing on the Original Recipe). On acquisition of my food, it wasn’t the most presentable piece (but when is Australian KFC ever presentable?) and the smell wasn’t great either compared to other foods. My first bite of the Original Recipe was amazing, succulent, juicy chicken breast with plenty of flavour. The skin had a fairly nice crunch and was seasoned beautifully. However, this enjoyment was extremely short-lived. The pleasure of eating KFC declines quickly after 2-3 bites and you suddenly realise how disgusting the food is – overly greasy and just plain hideous to look at.

Although nothing compares to the first bite of KFC, the sudden change in enjoyment is much more severe, and I find myself being unable to eat anymore. To experience the positives of KFC in exchange for a longer period of distraught is simply to worth it. In comparison to McDonald’s, although the first bite isn’t as great as KFC, the levels of enjoyment decline much slower as the meal is consumed – which in turn allows for longer periods of enjoyment.

All in all, KFC fucking sucks and is gross and for fat people. I won’t address the mammoth in the room in this post but maybe in future posts.

Thank you.

like deadass, who puts normie ass cadbury dairy milk chocolate above FLAKE. and who the fuck actually likes aero, do they even make aero still? i didnt mind the other flavours but fuck mint chocolate lmfao. and people who think coconut is disgusting should just straight up destroy their tastebuds cause your opinions are not valid fuckers.

These little mother fuckers are the base of a good Costco meal. A few pieces of these, some chicken and some greens and you got yourself a meal that Gordon Ramsay will be proud of. Even by itself, they’re pretty fucking good. They can be prepared in a pan, oven or microwave which each 3 having different textures. fUCking siCk ay.

The only problem I have with these little Indian boys is that the seal is so fucking hard to open, like I dead ass swear that I’m gonna rip off my nails trying to get these shits open.

These are good by itself and even better with other shit. 7/10

This shit, has possibly one of the most appealing names and pictures on any frozen food package. I was excited the night before trying this which led to reasonably high expectations. Even after preparations, fresh out of the oven, it looked and smelled great – even better than what I had in mind.

However, my dreams soon gave birth, crashed, burned, died, resurrected and crashed and burned again. I cut open one of the 3 balls I had prepared, and to my surprise, there was minimal gravy. Like… what the fuck. It had the same amount of gravy as food in Africa, it was absurd. Despite the disappointment, I still tried it…. and it was subpar. The gravy was mediocre, and the chicken tasted like shitty Coles chicken nuggets. The meal was just not good.

The structure of the chicken balls are poor quality, without fail, gravy will leak out in the oven leading to the loss of what is already minimal gravy. The crevice that holds the gravy inside the chicken ball is the size of a fucking small cashew nut. Fuck this shit. 3/10

This is a white man’s approach at Asian flavours. The authenticity of Costco’s Kara-age Chicken is the same as a upper middle-class white family who has been to Asia once. The chicken also lacks the flavour you get from deep-frying food. The hot, steamy and juicy chicken just doesn’t exist from oven-baking something that was meant to be deep-fried.

Not much I can say about this product, it’s pretty much the same as Chinese Take-away in the sense that it still tastes good, but it’s not the same as real Chinese food. This just isn’t real, freshly deep-fried and marinated Kara-age. 4/10

These little sticks of joy are a timeless classic in the world of sweets. No normal human can say that they haven’t seen or tried one of these bad boys. Chocolate Wafer Sticks are the kind of snacks that you love, but always forget about. They’re like that one kid in your extended friendship group that you enjoy hanging out with but aren’t close enough to kiss each other on the forehead and tuck into bed.

Everytime I find these snacks in the pantry, they tend to disappear within a week. However, even at the speed that I consume them, I never go out of my way to purchase more. If they’re there, they’re there.

These long – half white, half african sticks are brittle, creamy, and not overpoweringly sweet meaning you can consume them in bulk without feeling sick.

Overall, despite how great the Chocolate Wafer Sticks are, they don’t stand out enough and can only be given a 6/10

In early 2017, I was blessed by the gods of food and luxury when my mother brought home a large bag of Chicken Chunks from Costco. At first glance, they seem like your typical Coles brand crumbed chicken which taste like shitty chicken mince and bread crumbs. However, I’m not one to be critical of frozen foods since they are a convenient meal and create almost no mess to clean up.

Preparation:These chunks were prepared by preheating the oven to 200°C and placing the chunks in for 20 minutes.

Taste: The bite-sized chicken pieces were fairly crunchy on the outside, yet beautifully tender and succulent on the inside, bursting with flavour every bite. The spices of the chicken caressed my tongue as I was entranced by the symphony of flavours that gracefully danced around my mouth.

Final Words and Rating: Costco’s Chicken Chunks to frozen foods is the Michelangelo to art, the Joël Robuchon to the culinary world, the Digimon to childhood shows. These little magical chicken balls made me cream my pants 10/10
