Kentucky BAKED Chicken - not bad I say!

So, who else has ventured out to KFC and tried their baked chicken? I just got some today. Tastes quite good. I know its not low in sodium, etc...but it low fat/cal. A breast is 170 cals 4g Fat, and the leg I had was 70cals, again 4 grams fat. I pulled off the skin, so I am sure my two piece chicken was less than 250 cals. I got mashed potatoes and gravy....110 cals for potatoes with only 3 grams fat, and grave was 30 cals with 2 fat grams. Good lowish cal meal....high in sodium blah blah I know. But it's okay, I need me some sodium every now and then ;)

Any other fans out there?

P.S. I also got a LARGE side of mac and cheese, as an extra, for dinner later tonight. That is not low fat/cal but I don't care. I want a cheat night. I often times do stoffers frozen mac and cheese for cheats...but I figured I would try KFC's.... YUM

KFC has baked chicken now? Or is it that grilled chicken you speak of. I wanna try that baked chicken but i have no idea when that will happen cause we don't get new menu items here in the bahamas until years after they are introduced in the USA.

When my family went on vacation a couple weeks ago we got KFC.  We got the mixed box.  I had a original recipe drumstick and a grilled drumstick.  They were both very nice.  I liked that they were spiced the same.  The only difference was the texture of the skin, which I ate on both.  I'd get it again. :)

My weakness is the biscuit.  Those buttery little things are addictive!

Just a heads up guys on what I saw tonight with kfc. There new Double Down Burger........Eww....Something you would see on this is why your fat ahah.

We have had the grilled chicken several times!! Very tasty!! I wish they would go ahead and remove the skin!  It is tempting to eat it! Sometimes I do!  We get the cole slaw, mashed potatoes/gravy, potato wedges and green beans.  I wish they would just keep those biscuts!  (I eat those the next morning with some jelly!) When you eat at KFC or any other fast foods you can't worry about the sodium/calories/fat etc.  Just eat there in MODERATION!

I found this article on it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/24/kfcs -double-down-sandwich_n_266848.

It says it's only being test-marketed in 2 areas...Rhode Island & Nebraska.

It also say an independant calorie analysis concluded the "sandwich" likely has 1228 calories."

KFC "estimates" (no official workup done yet) that it contains:

Calories: 590

Calories from fat: 280

Total fat: 31g

Saturated fat: 10g

Trans fat: 0g

Cholesterol: 190mg

I'm thinking 590 calories sounds low for this.

I really like KFC grilled chicken! But, I usually just have one breast, one wing and split the biscuit with my brother (only time I ever go is taking him to the Long John Silvers there). None of the other sides, no soda - the chicken it self is pretty damn awesome.
