I dunno my dude, KFC chicken be shrinkin'...
That's good. The fucking broilers these days eat eachother because they need the energy. And it's not from hormones like that guy below says. It's from selective breeding. But they do grow fucking fast and it's not the ones we eat that we need to worry about primarily, it's their mothers that we need to keep alive through that bullshit. Using smaller, slower growing chickens is more responsible.
Heritage breeds are the way to go if you can find them. Taste better and typically more humanely raised.
Heritage breeds are not that hard to find, at least in my country.
We even have a heritage book and recognized breeders get special perks.
That's a drumlet
I'll be honest, I've never heard of a drumlet before I posted this thread.
But our KFC order was literally a 12 piece legs and thighs. So why we get this jank shit?
So they can scam people who don't know what a drumlet is
They look exactly like drumsticks, only smaller.
The chickens aren’t separated in the store; all the butchering and separating happens in the factory. The store gets boxes of legs, boxes of breasts, boxes of thighs, etc.
It seems plausible someone was very new and mistook the drumlet bin for the drumstick bin. I’d bet your order wasn’t the only mistake before someone noticed and corrected them.
It may be worth contacting the shop with your photo, because it will be obvious to them that is a drumlet. May be worth a free meal.
No. You don't get it. These are not drumlets, and KFC has been doing this for years.
Okay, that’s weird. I get KFC on occasion and haven’t noticed any appreciable change in the drumstick size. The one in your photo is tiny and appears to be the same shape and size as a standard drumlet.
Is this at a certain location, or more than one?
Location area Gautier Mississippi, 39553
I’m quite far from you, so maybe this is a regional thing. That’s odd and frustrating.
Other nearby KFC areas seem to do the same.
