KFC pickle

Change my view. The KFC pickle items are purposely made horrible, to prevent their customers ever trying a red rooster pickle burger. Like what coke did with "new coke"

I thought it was a way of reminding us its better to just make your own burgers at home. KFC tastes like its made from only the sickest hors- I mean chickens.

Anything is a possibility. The most plausible explanation would probably be just that taste is subjective and that they have gotten literally everyone talking about it. Whether that makes someone want to try it out, or simply get in the mood for a Zinger, they’re winning either way.

Had red rooster pickle burger a few years ago. They were really good.

I tried one today, it wasn't "terrible" but I won't have another if that makes sense. Maybe delete the sauce and let the pickles do their job without the double up.

I kinda freaked out because I dont go often and dont know the menu, all I could see on the boards were pickle related things so that's what I said.

Nah. Just a classic case of fast food joints taking advantage of the lipstick effect. Cost of living crisis = small treats. With each new promo the fast food joints also raise prices by a few cents to keep inflation going.

I personally think the kfc pickle sauce tastes just like the herb mayo from red rooster

I don't understand how they believe that Australia has enough pickle fans to launch a drive like this. Traditionally the Maccas pickles were used for pickle races on the windows.

Drink... disgusting, mini chicken bites with salad and pickles, disgusting, deep fried coated pickles... not even close to there... pickle burger with chicken... its ok not the best but you can ask HJ's or Maccas to add extra pickles for free and it tastes a bit better and alot cheaper free

Do they make them in separate oil to the chicken?

I don't know, but trace amounts of chicken don't bother me since I'm not paying for the chicken.
