Garbage in

Garbage out.

I had my first zinger tower in years recently and it was great. In my experience the burger is just as likely to be rattling around in the bottom of the bag as betwixt the bun.

Nearly 1000 calories in a zinger tower burger!

they are using the Youngbloods for their Krushems ad - so they can't be all bad

To the OP... Close to a year off junk food will make it feel like poison. Whereas if you had it every day for the next month you'd struggle to keep away from the place.

True. I can't eat cooked breakfasts or 'junk' food any more after 18 months off them.

Your body is not used to that amount of fat. Any junk food would do the same.

That has been the case for years! :S

it was news to me 6 months ago... who the feck wants hash brown on anything, let alone a chicken burger?

I always used to exchange the fizzy drink for large fries, but they don't seem to do that any more either.

There's a difference between 'towering up' which means turning the burger into a 'tower burger' with the hash brown and cheese slice, and 'going large' which means larger drink and fries.

Oh and yes, both phrases are horrible

Never mind a KFC family bucket, I feel like I need a bucket just thinking about KFC

Have you seen the 'double down' that KFC sell in the USA? Chicken instead of bread and bacon as the filling!

They don't cook in trans-fats (or semi-hydrogenated oil any more, they used to when I worked there).

The chicken and fillets are normal pieces of chicken, coated in a mixture of flour, salt, powdered egg and a spice mix. To cook them they are cooked in a pressurised deep fat fryer (probably using non-hydrogenated veg oil now) for 15mins.

As a point of interest (to me), do you recall off the top of your head how long you would keep cooked chicken in the holding cabinets before disposing of it.

Probably a more balanced and nutritious meal than the one with the "bread". It's an obvious adaptation of things like saltimbocca and chicken kiev.

Kentucky Fried Kiev! Now I would subscribe to that!

if it is kept warm (below 63 degrees) two hours
If it is kept Hot (above 64 degrees) 4 hours
but the relevant regulations (food safety TCR 1996) allow it to be chilled to below 8 degrees if the "retailer is confidant that the food is still wholesome". and it need to be reheated to an internal temperature of above 83 degrees before resale. It must be disposed of by the end of the trading day
