While fast food giants McDonald’s and Burger King have given their recipes away to encourage people to recreate their meals, KFC is humorously battering its customers who attempt to replicate its secret fried chicken recipe of 11 herbs and spices at home.
The official Twitter account for KFC UK & Ireland has begun rating and roasting fans’ homemade KFC meals put together to stay busy and satiated during the COVID-19 lockdown, and it appears that all that time spent indoors has made the company lose its cool too.
In one tweet, the chain poked fun at a user’s fried chicken, which appeared to be sprinkled with flaky salt. “I think you have dandruff,” KFC wrote. “Chicken is good but no need for the 12th ingredient.”
In another, KFC replied, “Carole cluckin’ Baskin wouldn’t even feed this to her tigers. 4/10.”
Geez, who put Gordon Ramsay in charge of this account?
Have a laugh at some comebacks by the fried chicken restaurant. And if you’d like to recreate the Colonel’s secret recipe at home, don’t let these mean comments stop you from fulfilling your clucking dreams; some people were actually commended for their impressive attempts.
I think you have dandruff.

Now the chicken here looks solid, good work. However, the buns look dryer than a popcorns fart. 7/10 #RateMyKFC

If KFC stood for Kind Fuzzy Cuties, this would be a 10.

Alas, it doesn’t.
We’re Kentucky FRIED Chicken, not Kentucky cook it in a lukewarm bath for 9 minutes Chicken. Mash looks nice though.

You also forgot the hashtag which loses a point. 2/10#RateMyKFC

Alright looking chicken burgers. 7/10. #RateMyKFC
I wore my new Dr Martens for the first time today to pop to the shop. That was less painful than looking at this. BBQ sauce touching the mash?!

Gravy needs a few thousand extra granules, too.
