Kentucky Fried Chicken rolled out their "Free chicken" campaign today (evidently they want to give away a free piece of chicken to everyone in the world today). It's to publicize their new grilled chicken product.
My brother in law Jim told us about it first but we just happened to stop by there for a quick burger and mug of root beer for Frank on the way home from his appointment at the VA. It turns out that Jim didn't stop by to try it for himself anyway (he likes his chicken fried).
They offer you a free leg or thigh and the print on the styrofoam container talks about each piece being marinated and then the old obligatory 12 secret ingredients spiel, etc. And it's priced comparably with their other chicken offerings.

Some of the food blogs report the main claim for being less fattening is that the pieces are smaller but as we eat there so rarely (almost never), I have no way of knowing for certain.
I barely got past the skin (it tastes funny) and made it a point to check out the interior meat as well (not impressed). With the availability of better chicken elsewhere (Popeye's, the local supermarket, El Pollo Grill in Lemon Grove, etc) and what you can do at home (rotisserie chicken, beer can chicken, chicken cashew, etc), I hope they didn't bet the farm on this pulling their fat out of the fire, so to speak...
