A Love Letter to KFC

Let me be entirely honest, I barely used to get KFC when I was younger cause I was Hungry Lion girlie up until I had dunked wings from KFC.

Now lemme say this right, whoever decided to dunk anything in the KFC headquarters deserves all the money in the world. Idk how to give them that so best I can do really is hugs and forehead kisses. They really ate by doing that. I’ve never been a fan of the plain KFC chicken on its own but the dunked one?!!

Ugh heaven on earth.

I remember when the dunked wings just came out and I saw how they looked, I was so excited to try them and I definitely wasn’t disappointed at all. They’re so juicy and flavorful with a mild kinda spicy element to them so all the flavors combine really well and melt in your mouth.

Then they made a dunked wrap which is more spicy but still just as delicious. The wrap is so filling too and I love how they aren’t stingy with the chicken. I genuinely get angry when I order wraps or burgers from places and it’s more vegetable than meat cause that is not what I’m paying for and if I wanted a vegetarian wrap, would’ve ordered one and not the chicken one. But anyway, that’s a rant for another day.

That wrap is so good, it’s criminal. Then they introduced a dunked burger as well and I almost fainted. Like they really do keep us fed and I love that. The burger is kinda small so I didn’t think I’d get full from it but I shockingly did. I’m not even sure how they managed to pack all that flavour and chicken into a small package but it works. That was an amazing burger.

For some annoying reason, the KFC’s outside Southern Africa don’t dunk anything and that actually broke my heart. Like the only thing I get from KFC is they’re dunked everything and they didn’t have that in the UK. I remember the first time I landed there and I immediately wanted fast food and my aunt suggested KFC so I got excited. You can imagine my disappointment when I saw they didn’t have any single thing dunked. Like nothing. I was gobsmacked.

Anyway, even more reason for me to be proudly Zambian cause we have the better KFC options so major slay. I love love love whoever came up with the dunked recipe and decided to use it on as many things as they could think of. They’re great and deserve all the happiness in the world. I’m beyond grateful. I’ve been eating it for years and I don’t see myself ever getting tired of it.

Thank you for reading my long epistle on chicken and I’ll see you in the next post.

With love, Solannah 🫶🏽
