I hear it isn’t quite what it used to be. Not so much finger licking good anymore…

Last 2x I got KFC it was bad.....I used to love the mashed potatoes with gravy but they changed something and they are borderline gross now. The chicken also made my stomach very upset the next day.

I know many here pride themselves on game day eats. I also know many here are very good cooks.

Myself, I made about 80 Jalapeño bacon wrapped poppers, then froze them. 1/2 with pork Bacon and 1/2 with Turkey bacon.

Sunday’s Cleveland game I made 8 (1/2 & 1/2) in the air fryer. I used 400F for 20 minutes as I like the bacon crispy. The temperature and time finished them perfectly to my taste. With the bacon being a little extra crunchy, I found myself enjoying the Turkey ones better.

The culmination of the three cheese / and a heavy paprika spice, and the pepper itself seemed just the right combination.

I’ll be making 10 of them tonight (each one is 1/2 of a jalapeño ).

What’s on your plate.?

I'm such a great influence😁😁😁

Add the full recipe so I can try to make these!

Not that it's Thursday let's see...I made spaghetti with jerk ground beef yesterday and still have some chicken-based piaya from Monday night so I'll get a bit of both.

No drinks for me today because my goal of getting under 210 pounds is right there and my liver could use the break...

Agreed. Maybe my tastes have evolved (doubtful) but it's not the same. Not even close. What a letdown when we picked up a bucket about a year ago.

KFC bucket ?

@GROK Please help me make a bucket of KFC sound appealing


Why a Bucket of KFC is Irresistibly Tempting

Imagine this: You crack open that iconic red-and-white bucket, and a wave of savory, crispy perfection greets you. The Colonel's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices wraps around each piece like a flavor hug—juicy, tender chicken that's been pressure-fried to golden, crunchy bliss. We're talking original recipe drums and thighs that melt in your mouth, or extra-crispy wings that shatter with every bite, dripping with that finger-lickin' goodness.Pair it with sides that steal the show: creamy mashed potatoes drowned in rich gravy, buttery biscuits that flake apart like magic, and coleslaw that's tangy and fresh. It's not just food—it's a feast that screams comfort, nostalgia, and pure indulgence. Whether you're sharing with friends on game night or treating yourself after a long day, one bite and you're hooked. Why settle for ordinary when you can dive into KFC's legendary bucket? Your taste buds will thank you.

Mmmm jalapeno poppers....

We had a bumper crop of jalapenos a couple years ago and we made poppers. I didn't think to freeze them though. I'll keep that in mind.

I had a lot going on last spring/summer so wasn't able to get my pepper garden going, so no poppers this year. Store bought just aren't the same.

Next year I'll be planting several jalapeno and bell pepper plants. I might start them from seed rather than buying em from Lowes. Hopefully we'll be ready for Steeler Chili, jalapeno popper season next year.

I wouldn't be surprised if they used lard and other less healthy but really tasty means of cooking the chicken and todays chickens are probably pumped so full of antibiotics, growth hormones, etc etc. that might also factor in.

Back then, you didn't mess with the Colonel's recipe. He'd take your franchise away in a heartbeat. :)

Lard is so much more healthier than vegetable oils. They are all full of additives, etc.

Still, KFC is not what it used to be. Did they change? Did we? Probably both.

I wonder why lard got such a bad rap. You never hear anyone called Canola Oil ***. ;)

Mine definitely have. I remember chowing down on Taco Bell, KFC, Burger King, McDonald's, Waffle House - I wouldn't go 100 yards near one now.

Same. I hear people talk about how red meat, fats, etc., all cause health issues. Not a chance. It's all the processed garbage, and additives, etc. Get rid of those, and as much sugar as we can, and health returns. Those places you mentioned are all processed trash.
