KFC Changing Name To Kentucky Grilled Chicken
Announced today: KFC, formerly known as “Kentucky Fried Chicken” will be changing its name to “Kentucky Grilled Chicken.”
Oh, man. The story of Colonel Sanders and his Kentucky Fried Chicken enterprise should be required reading for anybody majoring in Business.
I don’t know how the Colonel would be responding to this, were he alive. He may recognize the health factors that are known now that were not known back in his day, and moved with the times accordingly as a good business decision.
But don’t you EVER…take away the Original Recipe. I heard it’ll still be available.
Original Recipe, and Extra Crispy, they HAVE to keep both, and the Name!!! Otherwise why not go with “Politically Correct Chicken)?!?!
What won’t the worthless libs, facists and socialists attack?

I can see how this decision is geared towards increasing KFC’s future profits, but I think they could offer more healthy choices to their menu without changing the brand name.
Just a random fact, the world’s first KFC is located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

March 24th, 2008 at 7:57 amI remember when Col Sanders caused a flap for criticizing the “extra crispy” recipe, which came along after he had sold the company. I think he called it something like “a wad of batter on a bone.” I was never a big fan(more of a Churches man) but I do know the story of the enterprise and it really is great stuff. He pretty much pioneered the food franchise concept.
March 24th, 2008 at 8:03 amKFC chicken, at least the original recipe, isn’t fried anyway, It’s pressure cooked.
Not sure about the crispy style…I never touch that one.
March 24th, 2008 at 8:10 amMan i love KFC. dont eat it too much because its always greasy and bad for you. but changing it to Kentucky Grilled Chicken? come on! Like JCD said, just dont fry it in trans fat. use canola oil or something. their boneless bbq and hot wings are the best
March 24th, 2008 at 8:11 amIt’s pressure cooked in grease and the grease has no trans fat, but the chicken does!
The name change is stupid, do they even sell grilled chicken? I go to my grill for that, not a KFC. when i go there, i want FRIED chicken dammit! Next they will take out the chicken because of peta and just call it kentucky grill, you watch.

Sorry…but it’s true. The Snopes myth you point to has to do with Kentucky Fried Chicken changing its name to KFC to avoid the word “fired”…
That’s not THIS story, read it again, do some research…
But fear not! They will continue to serve Fried chicken also.
Isn’t this story a week early?

March 24th, 2008 at 11:54 amChicken doesn’t have trans-fat, nor does any animal. Animal fat is natural saturated fat, which they are finding out now after all these years of being fed bad information, is actually good for you.
Trans fats are man-made, they bombard soybean or sunflower oil molecules with hydrogen atoms to create a more stable longer lasting cooking oil.
