What I could never figure out was why they charged extra
for either all white or all dark. The vast majority who
order one or the other order all white, so it seems to me
that all dark should have been discounted!!!!! Damn!
I always got all dark as I detest white meat. It really
used to bug me to be charged more for something no one
else wanted.

Yes, I do mind cleanup! But that's not really the issue.
I like good fast food when I'm on the road or whatever.
So then it's not about cooking or cleaning up.

KFC always reminded me of the way my great aunt cooked
chicken. She would bread it and fry it and then she would
cook it in the pressure cooker. It had the same texture as
the original recipe KFC, only KFC was more flavorful due to
more spices. My great aunt didn't use anything except
salt and pepper. Anyway, I think that's one of the reasons
I liked original better than crispy.

And even if I wanted to I wouldn't make it at home because
I refuse to use a pressure cooker. Hate those things!
