That&#8217;s it? \u00a0No Buffalo, Mustard, Sweet\/Sour, whatever, or did I just get a lazy cashier or poorly equipped store? \u00a0 How were the bites? \u00a0Meh. A lot of breading and a little chicken, the ten piece meal clocks in at $5.99 if you&#8217;re paying money or in bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Since it is &#8220;Original Recipe&#8221;, it&#8217;s rather flavorless. \u00a0Since I was getting two meals, I got two sides, the potato wedges, which are thick cut fries dipped in batter, fried, and seasoned, and the green beans, which sadly seemed like they had been cooking for a couple of years. With no texture left at all, and no flavor, they were the saddest beans I have ever run in to. \u00a0Made me cry purdy near.<\/p>\n<p>Will I go back? \u00a0I hope not, but just like most Americans, I am a prisoner of convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Pix below show the difference between the product on the KFC website, and what I was served.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10663\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10663\" style=\"width: 395px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kfc1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10663\" alt=\"KFC Bites Ad Photo\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kfc1.jpg\" width=\"395\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10663\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">KFC Bites Ad Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10666\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10666\" style=\"width: 426px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kfc4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-10666  \" alt=\"KFC Bites as Served\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kfc4.jpg\" width=\"426\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">KFC Bites as Served<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10660\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10660\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131218_184402_resized.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-10660\" alt=\"KFC Bites Meal\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131218_184402_resized-1024x679.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"285\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10660\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">KFC Bites Meal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10664\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10664\" style=\"width: 453px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kfc2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-10664\" alt=\"KFC Beans Ad Photo\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/kfc2.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"316\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">KFC Beans Ad Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10662\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10662\" style=\"width: 502px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131218_184645_resized.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-10662  \" alt=\"KFC Beans \" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131218_184645_resized-1024x874.jpg\" width=\"502\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">KFC Beans at restaurant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>KFC Original Bites Review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I should have given up on KFC a long time ago, but especially today, when their android app kept crashing on me. \u00a0Just couldn&#8217;t get it to go, an indication that I shouldn&#8217;t have &#8220;went,&#8221; I guess.
