Kentucky Grilled Chicken



Kentucky Fried Chicken fast-food chain recently is introducing grilled chicken at its 5,100 American outlets in an effort to present a healthier image to diners. Described as "packed with flavour", the chain's grilled chicken pieces will be marinated and seasoned with six "secret" herbs and spices. It's a momentous move for KFC which has spent 69 years promoting Colonel Sanders' finger lickin', artery-clogging original recipe.


The grilled chicken pieces contain 70 to 80 calories and four to nine grams of fat. That's an improvement on KFC's fried chicken which come in at 110 to 370 calories, with between 7 and 21 grams of fat. KFC has been edging in a healthier direction for some time. As far back as 1990, the company began emphasizing its initials rather than marketing itself as Kentucky Fried Chicken, partly because the word "fried" was considered a turn-off. More recently, KFC became one of the earliest fast-food companies to scrap trans-fats in its cooking.


Some CCTV installers keep saying that their business is getting worse since early this year but unlike KFC they refuse to change their business practice like working on Sunday and public holiday and keeping their mobile phone on after working hours. To me if we want to continue eating cheese we must put in extra effort to look for new cheese, if a 69 years old company can change their business practice so can we all.
