No Trans Fats = No Good

I'm not really sure what happened the other day, but I had a bad experience at a KFC.
Yah, how can Fried Chicken be bad? It's unfathomable.







I really don't know how to sugar coat this so I'm going to give it to you straight.
Kentucky Fried Chicken now Sucks.
I have a sneaking suspicion it's their new No Trans-Fat Oil they use to fry the birds. The result is an underwhelming, no crisp but soggy piece of burnt protein.
fyi - I ordered both the "Original" and "Crispy" and they both were soggy. A major let down.

Corporate, Take Note!!!
Yah, it's probably better for you in the long run, and you have to adhere to government policy, but if you are going to sell Fried Chicken, you better make it damn good. It's your business!
You've had generations of repeat customers come back for more because you gave us a product we couldn't easily make at home at a reasonable cost.

Well, you are now serving us bad fried chicken and any suburban housewife can replicate that.
I'd rather pay more and receive a better, if not great product than being utterly disappointed with a horrible product cause you guys skimped out on the cheap oil.
Either you change your oils to a significantly higher quality No Trans-Fat Oil, or crank up the fryer and rework the flour seasoning to make sure it crisps up better.
What the hell is your Corporate Chef doing? Fire him and hire a new one!

You've already lost one big fan. How many more can you afford to lose everyday?
