This just got voted cold because people mistook the colonel for Rolf Harris.

Because this is 9pc not 2pc.

Halal has no value for the majority. For those that do, there is a list of halal KFCs here
http://www.kfc.co.uk/about-kfc/halal

Their chicken is pretty tasty.
They also pay their taxes.

Because 9 is a bigger number than 2?

I suppose you have never made a genuine mistake then.

Bursledon Road, Southampton ... Staff UNABLE to count, EIGHT pieces not 9. Think twice abount going back. I call that dishonest...................

Pick a few words put them in any random order and post to confuse the readership. You succeeded.

Who are big family you can buy very good price bargain bucket chicken with include lots of varieties chicken good deal of KFC

Just the chicken but they have some offer like add £1.99 and get 2 large sides which include fries, gravy 1.5 drink

So is this just nine pieces of chicken or do u get the chips as well???

Seems a good offer but but 5 of my pieces were about the size of a spicy wing from my local chicks.which I guess is the reason kfc stands for Kant find the chicken.

You know absolutely nothing.

I know why it's last week's cooked chicken cold oily and only fit for animals at Kettering silver street won't go there again

we went in today and were told the deal was over

Hey guys, is this offer still on? A staff member told me last week it still should be on- just wondering if anyone has been today? thanks

All you guys quoting statistics just, well, bore the bloody hell out of one. Good food, nice girls ( or boys if it be your thing ), and a peaceful easy feeling are well recommended. Live life, love life. Carpe Diem, Semper P....... Numquat R.........!.

Nothing there says that I'm wrong. MSG is a salt and it is fine to eat in low quantities.
The parts you've highlighted are about people with MSG sensitivity.

Wrong. But good effort.

MSG

MSG is a compound that contains sodium and glutamate, an amino acid. Glutamate is naturally high in protein-rich foods, so adding MSG to food enhances the pleasing, savory flavor associated with protein. Originally made form seaweed, MSG is now manufactured industrially and added to many canned vegetables, soups and processed meats. MSG contains about one-third of the sodium found in table salt and is commonly added in small amounts to food. According to the European Food Information Council, when MSG is combined with salt, it enhances flavor and lessens the need for salt, potentially reducing your intake of sodium by 20 to 40 percent.

MSG Issues

The Food and Drug Administration classifies MSG as a generally safe food ingredient. However, some people may be sensitive to it, developing neurological symptoms that make up MSG Symptom Complex, also called Chinese Restaurant Syndrome because of the high MSG content of many Asian dishes. The glutamate in MSG is chemically similar to a natural neurotransmitter, possibly explaining the symptoms, which may include facial pressure, chest pain, numbness, headache, flushing and sweating. Although research has failed to identify a definite link between MSG and the syndrome, Mayo Clinic experts suggest that a small percentage of people may be MSG-sensitive and experience these symptoms after ingesting it.

Avoiding MSG

If you develop a reaction when you ingest MSG, avoid consuming it. Check food labels for MSG, but be aware that many ingredients contain it, including gelatin, yeast extract, yeast nutrient, sodium caseinate, textured protein, malted barley, rice syrup or hydrolyzed vegetable protein. To be certain a product is MSG-free, contact the food manufacturer, asking if MSG or any free glutamic acid is contained in its product.

MSG is just a type of salt. There's nothing wrong with eating it in moderation like you would with normal table salt.

I had the same - even though my closest is marked as being part of the promotion, they said the nearest one was in Stratford Westfield...so I walked there to try and negate some of the guilt that we would be feeling the day afterwards :smiley:. Might do it again this Tuesday if I can do enough exercise beforehand.

This offer should significantly increase chicken consumption!

Many people think that the chicken they use is not 100% pure, but it certainly tastes like it is..

From previous comments, it's only the non halal ones that are doing the deal. I think the halal ones are listed on the web site.

Great place Middleton, I was born there.

went to kfc kingsway rochdale to get the tuesday offer of 9 pieces for £5.99 and was told we dont do that here the nearest kfc that does is miles away at middleton,thanks kfc for nothing,what a wasted journey,

Kilburn branch don't do it but they offered me 20% off on any bucket. I politely declined

OH MY GOD !!!!

That seems better value than the posted deal (which is getting a bonkers amount of heat for a fast food deal). Only 6 pieces, not 9, but a side and a drink.

Just over a fiver..

how much is it ?

Just had one of these..

http://www.kfc.co.uk/our-food/for-one/chicken/mighty-bucket-for-one

Amazing value for money.. I asked for the original recipe pieces to both be breast and they obliged. Sank it with some diet coke...

I only ever ate KFC once about 20 years ago when I was young and foolish and at that moment in time I was really hungry and it was the closest place to me. Thought it was absolute garbage and never felt compelled to eat it again. Oh and your human/tiger analogy is really terrible sorry. The difference is tigers quite simply cannot live without eating meat and furthermore are not moral agents whereas the complete opposite is true for the human animal.

I've always found similarity between human beings and tigers. If a tiger tastes human flesh for the first time, they will be constantly on the hunt for this and are very dangerous to be around, as they will be hooked into the taste.

With humans things are quite similar. Once they taste KFC for the first time, they are then not able to go back to being vegetarian/vegan, simply as the taste is just too good... I think I'm in that category ..

Anyway, about to head to KFC for my usual Sunday feast..

I ate meat most of my life. I have only been vegan for about 2 years now. I found it to be a fairly easy transition and I really don't miss anything. My only regret is I didn't do it sooner

mmm - KFC = msg...

Funny taste in your mouth and sweaty palms after eating - should come with a medical warning.

http://www.kfc.com/nutrition/pdf/kfc_allergens.pdf <--- from their own site!!

Sorry for asking but have you ever tried meat? I know a couple of vegetarian friends who just wanted to 'try' KFC and the next thing is they became proper hooked.. I'm not sure whether KFC use some addictive ingredients..

Actually on a separate note, has anyone tried southern friend quorn burgers? They taste very much like chicken (esp if you fry them) and the texture is also very real.. Not quite like KFC mind you!!

Nice of you to be so open minded, makes a change especially on here. Yes I am indeed vegan but I fully accept it is a sad fact of life that by our very existence, just by being alive that we will have a negative impact on other living creatures, both human and non human but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to do the least harm possible. Animal agriculture is actually one of the industries having the most devastating effects on the environment and a recent study found eating meat to be more harmful than driving. A UN study also urged a worldwide shift towards a vegan diet. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/jun/02/un-report-meat-free-diet

Sorry to say this, but you've spelt your profile name incorrectly ..

Wow - you sound like a hardcore KFC fan just like me... grab yourself a 16 piece bucket..

Enjoy. Heat.

Jinkz, Poopansander is Thai for Colonel Sanders!,that's how much I love the stuff!.

Ordered 9 pieces got 8 :disappointed:

That's dedication, you must love chicken.

Went to my local KFC drive through in Cape Hill Smethwick on Tuesday.
Was told they don't do the nine piece deal there,I should go to Quinton.
Why are the good people of Smethwick being denied this deal ???????

This is not nationwide!,travelled on two buses to get to KFC Woking branch only to be told this offer was not available at their store!!.

Thanks for the insight, I take it you're vegan. In a way I agree with what you're saying and the points raised are very valid. But are we not all destroying the environment on a day to day basis? The principal is the same whether it be by driving a car or shopping the the supermarket.. It's impossible not to be doing some harm.

Anyway, thanks once again.

I've seen exposes on the conditions the chickens in the KFC food chain have to endure and I can assure you they weren't pretty but regardless of how supposedly humane the conditions are they all involve using sentient beings as things, as nothing more than a commodity and a means to an end for humans. The very act of systematically enslaving other sentient beings and slaughtering them en masse is a total disregard of these creatures most fundamental rights. Like it or not, every time you hand over your cash for a piece or pieces of dead animal flesh you are complicit in this cycle of abuse, suffering and murder.
The whole halal kosher thing that was raging earlier in this thread is nothing more than a smokescreen by people trying to pretend they are better than another group of people. Morally there is no relevant difference between say, kicking a dog in the street because I enjoy it or eating a piece of KFC chicken because I enjoy the taste of it. Have no illusions, every single person who eats or otherwise uses animals for their own selfish needs is an animal abuser. Since vegetarians still consume/use some animal produce they too are still part of the exploitation and suffering so in that regard you are correct albeit not in the way you thought you were.

That's again not necessarily true. There is no evidence that chickens suffer as a direct result of the KFC food chain. And conversely, just because a person is vegetarian does not make them "animal-friendly"..

Saying one eats KFC and is against animal cruelty is an oxymoron.

I treat KFC as more of a guilty pleasure that I have every few weeks, I don't particularly want to build up my appetite :smiley:. You're lucky that you have such a great metabolism!

I've been doing it for years now - you will slowly build up your intake - just give it time, it takes a bit of getting used to at first!! And I don't have chips, as this spoils there fun!!

Its like smoking... you start with 1-2 fags, then end up smoking 40/day!!

Enjoy..

16 :confused:? I barely managed 5 and some chips!

I would have to disagree. I had a blood test last week and my cholesterol was 3.5, despite eating KFC 2 x per week.

I think KFC has become part and parcel of my life and I honestly don't know how I would survive without it..

I am also quite spiritual/religious and am totally against animal cruelty. So I don't think you can generalise here..

The fact that this is hottest deal of the month is symbolic of a very sick society. Both physically and spiritually.

Anyone know if Southampton stores are doing this offer?

3rd class customer so should suite you.

Ok if you don't respect the RSPCA's opinion, and I can see why you don't from my personal experience, then there's also the British Veterinary Association and the Farm Animal Welfare Comittee who are against non-stun slaughter. Afaik the RSPCA based their opinions on the report by the FAWC.

Denmark allows stunned slaughter of animals, only a lack of stunning was made illegal and at the time, all halal animals were stunned anyway. As a result, and like other counties with similar bans, Kosher now has to be imported. Poland has recently banned non-stun slaughter. Sweden stuns all halal animals as slaughter without stunning has been illegal for over 70 years. There's also Iceland, Norway and Switzerland that impose stunning before slaughter.

I dont have issues with labelling, it would probably help a lot of people make informed choices, its the strong stances on weak basis' that i have issues with.

as for the rspca? i came accross an injured fox which was in a lot of discofort, i did my bit to call them up and after what seemed like ever i was told that i should just leave it and someone would pop round, the fox dissapeared ( to a certain paiful death) while no rspca was to be seen...EVER.
The rspca like to get their opinions in to make them look current otherwise they are a bunch of lazy gits who cant get off their **** to investigate an animal in distress ( unless there is an owner to sue for money).
As For denmark, where do i start, they are not necesserily a good indicator when it comes to muslim issues.

3rd class chicken

I personally do not know enough about kosher or halal slaughter to say whether or not it is more, or indeed less, cruel than conventional UK slaughter methods. I would think for many people the fact that the RSPCA are against it, and the fact that it has been banned in countries like Denmark, might be sufficient evidence that it is less humane.

My contention is that meat should be adequately labelled - preferably as being pre-stunned halal, or non-stunned halal. Kosher meat seems to be adequately labelled already. It is unacceptable that halal meat is sold without being labelled as such. Many people are against halal slaughter methods and others are against religion playing a part in the production of their food.

Label it properly and everyone is happy-ish.

I have to disagree with your first point, its not that someone is against halal or kosher thats my issue its when they try and defend their stance with the method of slaughter when they dont actually grasp (nor have they tried to) the rules that govern true halal destined animals. its a expected process from when they are born to the final end and its regulations, only by knowing all these can somone actually make a true informed decision.
everyone has a right to choose but dont do it on halftruths and hearsay.

nope

Untrue, they've stuck it on their nationwide Twitter.

I think it is more of a business decision then something to appease a community. People wanting halal/kosher would not buy of its not lebeled anyways. And secondly how does your eating bacon in a Muslim country be disrespectful ?

And do you think animals enjoy the miserable existence of living horribly and getting genetically mutilated just to die to satisfy taste buds of a bit more intelligent animals. It seems so barbaric to breed, deny them their natural habitat and then kill these animals when we can easily survive on plant products.

I am a Muslim but I rarely eat meat/chicken but I would go for Halal if I have to. There would be no moral argument to this brutality if one does not believe in God ?

are there any KFCs in London that aren't Halal?

This answers most of the questions that have been on here.. Such as Are the chickens real etc :smiley:http://www.kfc.co.uk/about-us/faqs

Got this deal last night, great offer. Although along with the other extras we got, was a serious stuffing. Way to much :smiley:

That's why I said I specifically source my meat, I know where the animals have been reared and where they have been slaughtered.

Unfortunately animal abuse is endemic across the whole of the meat industry and is not restricted to 'halal'. This is evident by the amount of cases which have been taken to Court over the last few years.

It seems that whenever humans have power or control over others, be it animals or one another; then eventually this is abused by a large portion of them. Really is very sad.
This is why the name of God should be taken for halal slaughter, as it reminds the slaughterer that ultimately there is someone who is more powerful than him. It can be said in any language, but it needs to be said sincerely.

You said you are against not stunning, that's cool, you aren't alone. Many Muslims will agree with you.

If you are genuinely interested and do get the time, watch this 14 minute video on how halal slaughter should be done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU3O5rykwe4

The website needs to be changed to edit this as most Halal stores are not doing this offer, a clear form of mis-advertising or miss-selling.

PS, guys who have explained the HALAL method, good one!
Hope that clarifies a few issues for people who are clearly not aware of the truth!

I went yesterday to my local KFC and was told the exact same thing. They don't do this promotion because their branch serves halal chicken.

im surrounded by idiots

oh there is the other point other than in that animals reared for halal meat need to have a certain standard of living both in the food they eat to the conditions they live in, right up to the fact that a halal animal cannot even see the blade with which it will be killed for the fact that the aniimal will be distressed, that is TRUE halal.
its the difference between a life of misery right up to the end or a decent standard of living and a cut that it does not even expect hence minimising the pain/distress.
So it is totally understandable that all the halal KFC's will not be able to do this deal due to not being able to source Halal for the pittance they need to buy to be able to give this deal.
I know which sounds better to me.

this is why they had to change there branding name from Kentucy Fried Chicken to just letters... KFC. this was ment to show they are not promoting chicken...

Your taste buds want reviving. LOL.

Why not? Believe it or not I'd never had a KFC before. I'd been looking forward to it for several days and was disappointed when the store didn't do it. Then disappointed again with the Zinger meal I had. Hence cold.

Yes if if done correctly but I am still against not stunning though
But its often not done correctly and sold as halal look at this incident recently
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2937206/Halal-abattoir-staff-hacked-taunted-sheep-One-worker-sacked-three-suspended-caught-camera-carrying-horrifying-routine-abuse.html
As far as i am aware some of the staff were Muslim as well! this is one incident were they were caught
There may well be many times this has gone on unnoticed and is still going on

Saying the name of God is for the slaughterer's own benefit, it is a reminder of the value of life for the reasons the previous poster has mentioned.

Many muslims do eat pre-stunned meat and others do not, it is a personal choice and it is therefore wrong for you to assume that all 'halal' meat is not stunned.
Those who do not eat stunned meat do so because of the likelihood of the animal dying because of this stunning technique.

During slaughter it is the jugular artery which is cut, this is one of the largest arteries in the body. Once this is cut the animal passes out and dies.
The blood is a carrier of impurities, this is why it is drained out.

There is so much more to halal then just the actual slaughter too. The animal is not allowed to see the blade and nor should it be slaughtered in front of other animals so they do not feel scared.
The animal's welfare should always be at the forefront and fed good food.

This is at complete contrast with modern wholesale production where animals are injected with hormones and proteins just to bulk them up, often their legs break under their own body weight.
Many animals are confined in such small spaces that they are unable to move at all, sometimes for years.
If any of these mentioned practices are observed then the animal would cease to be halal.

My brother and I took advantage of this deal earlier, for some reason in the add two sides for £2 deal they offered two regular fries as one side instead of one XL fries. Also we were able to add more sides without issue so we could have fries and a bottle of drink and some gravy and some more gravy.

Just had this tonight... thanks OP and hukd for this!

Hungry now

Dont think the animal having it s throat slit would would give a stuff about gods name been pronounced and neither
would I
Surely if life is sacrosanct you would either not slit the poor things throat or at least stun it first
In my option this method of slaughtering has no place in modern world
If religion or beliefs need slaughter like this do the decent thing and dont eat meat

This is only valid for non halal stores

Went with the kids. Got 9 pieces, 4 fries, large beans and a pepsi. Paid £9.99 (£5.99 + £2 for 2 sides + £2 for 2 more sides). Half term kids kfc treat done. Thanks again OP.

(Ps it was advertised in the window so no awkward is or isn't the offer in my store issues)

Got the 9 pieces of chicken for £5.99 and two fries and a 1.5L bottle of diet pepsi (the irony) for £2 more. This was at North Harbour in portsmouth.

What can you use the 20% discount on ?

Got my bucket, only got 8 pieces but still a great deal. Managed to eat 4 and now I feel sick haha. Glad I didn't get any sides!

Ive just eaten my bucket of dirty chicken.

I now look like this:

Did anyone else receive 10 pieces instead of 9?

Good job that computes.

Does anyone know if this is on in Swansea uplands?

20% off did not work at my local.
guy asked manager, who said was okay, but the computer said "No."

This deal would be even hotter if the fat **** had voted it up before rushing out to KFC. :smiley:

I got 2x 9 Chicken Pieces for £11.98 and 4x Larges Fries for £2 extra :stuck_out_tongue::laughing:

Also if you buy any 9 Chicken Pieces you can get 2x Sides for £2 extra, if you by 2x 9 chicken Pieces you can get 4x sides for £2 extra :stuck_out_tongue::laughing:

MMM this chicken is delicious.

As per the first few pages - as I understand it, it's only available in the non halal stores, it's a mix of thigh and breast all with bones in, it does not include any sides or drinks, and it is available for approx the next four weeks.

Lots of central food outlets don't do the deals, eg. Many Subway stores in shopping centres don't do the £3 meal deal, so it may not be available in every outlet, whether halal or not.

KFC @ Armley, Leeds included yay

Manchester Arndale not included! :disappointed:

Knees are shaking.

Office junior now on route to buy 2.

Heat added

Anyone fancy PMing me their receipt so I can get the 20% off code?

Definitely some form of cruelty involved with the production of the KFC chicken (notice their wings bones are ALWAYS broken on the whole pieces of chicken - WHY???). All the same, we're heading to our local store for lunch today. Hot from me!

Having tried to trawl through and split the wheat from the chaff without success could someone please tell me is it literally 9 pieces or any fries? Going to send the teen kids for a treat but need to make sure send enough £s. Thanks. (Heat btw OP)

Not in either Halifax store :disappointed:

yeyy :smiley: got my 9 piece kfc bucket today from darlington

funny thread thanks guys

you dont vote cold just because your store isnt doing it


you have been here for over 5 years for christ sake

Cold. Not at Bishopsgate London :disappointed:

£5.99 for a mere 9 piece of chicken seems a bit steep for a 'bargain'. How much do they normally cost?

Lol irony is the word eh ? Think its best if we don't even bother with people like that whether a new member or someone with multiple usernames, guess some people like Asaw1 (clue is in the nick name) have too much time and not sure enough work on hand.

Genuine word , save your excuses for when you will really need it and leave your narrow-minded opinions to yourself as you sound really immaturely embarrassing and yet at the same YOU (!) are being judgemental. Don't bother replying or commenting about myself again or about my posts as you have been reported.

You joined up to post that? Really? :confused:

Your maths is as bad as your thinking. I am here looking for deals from the GOOD guys on this site and to help people that are not lazy and need help, and also for a bit of light hearted comedy that goes with the deals.
I have made several purchases because of the deals posted and helped several deserving people when required. deals posted are not the be all of this site, and on the occasions that I have wanted to post a deal have always been beaten to it by others, for which I am grateful for as my computer knowledge as far as operating systems etc. is not that great.

P.S. Don't forget that door.

Wow. I just came to the last page of the comments to see if anyone had got this deal today. Talk about keyboard warriors?

And why is that , so I or anyone else can be more worth than your zero deals in 7 years , bit of a troll ?

Then please leave and close the door behind you, thank you.

Just report the post move on and don't feed him. Easy.

I don't think that we should expect a response as scfcstoke1 has been a member for over 1 year and only posted 5 comments and 2 of them were those. I genuinely am ashamed right now to be a member of hukd and can't believe the lack of condemnation

Woohoooo its time for some Chickaaaaaaarn!

Animals.

"Chickens slaughtered for Halal meat are not being stunned effectively.

Instead of being rendered instantly unconscious when stunned, they will be receiving a painful electric shock that immobilises them before being slaughtered whilst fully conscious.

Chickens are immobilised, meaning they are unable to move, but still aware of what is happening to them and are able to feel pain, when their throat is cut.

The workings of the Taser gun are an example of electro-immobilisation."

Seems like a lot of people on here are ignorant. The halal method of killing is very simple. It is supposed to kill the animal with the least amount of pain and the prayer is not long at all.

Secondly those who are calling it archaic, these are not archaic. The Islamic law ie (sharia) is just over 1400 years old.

Just because one abattoirs employees were found to be cruel to animals does not make all abattoirs and those who slaughter animals in the halal way criminal.

Please guys get a grip. The meat is the same same, it's juse the method and the blessed way that Muslims prefer. If you don't Agree then that's fine but there is no use in anyone hurting other people's sentiments. Some people will take offence.

It's jjust like saying that all Muslims are terrorists. The truth is that not all are. Infact Hitler, Stain, The Mongols were terrorists.

Let's not forget who killed the Iraqis or how many people died in Afghanistan as a result of American and British lies.

Get a grip people, stop generalising

Fill out the online survey on your receipt and get it 20% cheaper £4.80 for 9 pieces of chicken!!!

This chicken is gross and tastes disgusting.

are these pieces of chicken the boneless dips chicken?

and who is this hello al people keep speaking of he sounds filthy

Ooooooh Shut up !![
OK I'll shut up...but the barf-chicken will still be minging!

28 pages discussing animal welfare, the obesity problem, religion and food snobbery all in on deal that has reached nearly 3500 degrees for a bucket of **** fried chicken?? I swear you couldn't make it up.

heard advert on radio

offer on until 10th March

The colonel looks like he has a huge head and his bow tie looks like a tiny body ,

Bet you can't unsee that from now on :wink:

KFC is so popular even without the price

gonna get some myself tomoz :smile:

We are in England!!!, and i would prefer to choose the meat i eat...Why do we bow down to these people? If i went to their country and said I want some Bacon/Pork Chops.. What do you think would happen..? I would respect the ways of the country and get on with it.

At least in Bahrain they have it sorted , they have pork counters to cater for us.

So if I went to KFC tomorrow I will get 9 pieces of chicken for £5.99? Sooo looking forward to it.

People who choose Halal.

Disgusting food, wouldnt eat it for free....gross!!

I prefer my chooks clucking round in the garden thanks :confused:

is this deal at all KFC Stores, as ive just seen this deal of the kfc website

http://www.kfc.co.uk/home

Halal means:

1) Blood in the animal has been drained out to the extent possible.
2) God's name has been pronounced whilst slaughtering takes place. This is because life is sacrosanct and
one has to be humble and God fearing even when an animal is killed.

In old days animals were the main source of food and sustenance. Nowadays one can easily get by without meat/chicken on a veg diet. In fact it would be healthier.

Has anyone reheated? Is it still finger lickin' afterwards?

You seem like the kind of person who will at some point in his life get spit in his food.

I know all slaughter leaves lot to be desired but I still fail to see how not stunning animal can be more humane way
Correct me if im wrong but is Halal/kosher slaughter done with animal fully conscious
Surely this is taking killing animals back to the stone age
If for your faith or just personal preference is just for halal or kosher then go veterinarian

but KFC does taste nice

I only eat halal/kosher and it's a very good point that you make.
I became aware of these cruel wholesale slaughter techniques about 10 years ago, as a result I had a vegan diet for 2 years.

I specifically source my meat now and if I don't know who and how it has been slaughtered I just wont eat it.

would you say the same about kosher? or do you just like being selective because it's fashionable to pick on the tenets of one particular religion?

We get 2pcs with chips all over town and its halal, so why is this hot??

Link, please!

I presume your vegetarian then as no one that is religious in any way could condone this whether Halal kosher or any other method of slaughterer and cruelty

OH REALLY

whats the secret receipe

also, i hve heard rumours that the chickens used to lay eggs to make more chickens have no heads is this true



also, do the ckickens have large talons

is this boneless?

Cheaper and healthier catching and frying London pigeons

Fowl!

not nice.... dont bother drinking it..

Better than KFC. Trust me.

Yum

Cold.

For this price you could actually buy a live chicken. Then you'd have free milk forever. But I guess everybody wants the easy option. Typical.

Yum

This sounds really good. I like chicken. I would love nine pieces of chicken. Do you think there is a vegetarian option?

Heat added!!!

Hi, Does anyone know what 9 pieces of chicken do you get, can you choose, e.g. all legs, all thighs, all breast..

I could so eat a couple of KFC pieces right now, even though I've just my lunch... I do that quite I often at work - as a second lunch!! Amazing taste

Have some heat

Meat is Murder!

You can order and have it delivered on just-fastfood.com

Hi I think it's on every Tuesday until mid March

Great find was not aware halal meat was so wide spread in kfc
This inhumane method of slaughter has no place in uk in my opinion

Hi, do you know how long this lasts for please?


Normally about 30 secs with the total amount of meat you will get on the 9 pieces.

So is this dirty chicken available every day or Tuesday only?

There is no deal in KFC Teeside Park Stockton on Tees. I asked them they said there is no prmotion or deal going on like this .10 pieces are £13.09.

I just eat the skin.

Thank you :wink:

Nope, we never receive any communication when the promotional windows end, just when new ones start which is 1-2 weeks before they do. This will stay for 3-4 weeks more though.

club going up on a tuesday :smirk:

Hi, do you know how long this lasts for please?

usual chicken politics.....shame

Anyone know if this is in sunderland? Is it advertised or do you have to ask?

3000 club! Who knew chicken could get so hot!

phoned my local kfc every Tuesday he say

edit: watch video ... Without Saying a Word This 7 Minute Short Film Will Make You Speechless
An opinion is fine, everyone has one. But when it bothers others like a fart then a jerk is what it comes from!
This was solely directed at the ones arguing about religion, humane etc etc NOT NECESSARILY AT YOU!
There is nothing humane about killing, humans do it for food and not to be humane to the animal. The animals are not bred humanely, they have at best 1.5 square foot per bird in the best commercial breeders, thats hardly enough space to wiggle its own **** without falling over another bird. Its deliberate so that they cant move much so the meat is more tender. Calves bred for veal are also restricted so that they can barely wiggle in their pen so that the meat is pinker rather than redder.

Few billion birds are killed every year, millions per day. Most commercial centres have mechanical chicken harvesters that suck in the chickens like street cleaning machines, yes they have plastic brooms that sweep the chicken in. Then they are transported via suction tube to another area in the factory that packs them in crates, literally spewing them out at 10 chickens every few seconds into crates which are stacked already over each other then transported to other areas. Then strung up in steel clamps at the rate of "170 per minute" in commercial rollers that hang them upside down while being transported across the assembly line, then this line at 170 chickens per minute comes to the one who slits throats at 170 chickens per minute..... I repeat at 170 chickens per minute. Hope you got that bit. Even a f%&*ing idiot should realise by now that saying a prayer (or swearing more likely for the worker paid minimum wage and charged exorbitant rent for his chicken coop like shared accommodation) for every chicken at 170 killed per minute is impossible or just happens in the ill informed fantasies of an idiot. People may believe and argue based on ill informed opinions. Opinions are like farts everyone has one and doesn't necessarily make it right!

Thats just 170 per minute killed at standard commercial poultry factory. At hatcheries for the billions of chickens killed each year, there are billions of female and male chickens, the males are a waste of money as they dont lay eggs, so are sorted at birth and throw alive into macerator at the rate of 60 to 170 per minute. Yes they are either crushed alive by macerator! or gassed by CO2 and they choke to death. Is that humane enough for you!

Like i said before.... clueless f&*%ing idiots arguing without an iota of knowledge how the industry actually works. Anyone interested can watch the macerators, washers, slaughtering, drenching in boiling water, defeathering, gutting, packing etc on youtube if interested, rather than continue arguing like clueless idiots.

Take home message... 170 killed every minute in standard commercial factory. Now you decide if it is humanly possible to say anything at the rate of 170 per minute. People believe in unicorns but it doesnt make it real.

Now time for you to get a grip after educating yourself about the industry.

Hope this deal lasts till the coming tuesday so that I can get my KFC bucket!

ps: i have been to these commercial factories / hatcheries as an observer and purchaser on various occassions to purchase chickens and other commercially reared birds and animals (sheep, goat, pigs, rabbits, cows, chickens, ducks etc). I have also done the slaughtering and cleaning and gutting etc long while back in villages abroad. Most people abroad dont buy chilled chickens killed yonks ago. They go to place where live ones are sold, pick the ones the want and have them slaughtered and cleaned and cut to a size of their preference. Now some people seem to think it comes out of a machine like a mars bar and everything is humane. Its not, its just how it is.

The RSPCA might have their opinions (not necessarily right, it is a private charity and not a govt entity, what do you think they do with their over supply of pets!!! get rid of them as in kill them.... humanely what ever that term means), but other national bodies like in the USA have deemed macerators that grind male chickens alive as humane. People pick and choose what ever is convenient as humane. Thats just how it is. The real bit that isnt humane is the living conditions for the animals that "live" for a few weeks in atrocious conditions and are killed with almost 50% wastage before they reach factory for killing (in what ever manner suits the public, yes saying a prayer at 170 killed per minute per commercial factory is supposedly practical for some clueless idiots). Chickens can live 10 years but being humane i suppose is making them weight gain crazily for meat in a few weeks leading to numerous not being able to walk and get trampled to death as they are getting 1.5 foot per bird at maximum in rearing centre and killed in a few weeks.

Go on arguing about respecting ill informed opinions. Like i said everyone has an opinion like a fart, I aint sticking around to smell it though. Cheers.

Because 9 is a bigger number than 2?

9 pieces of mutant chicken for £6? I'm not sure what to make of that.

Humm, save a fiver on chicken and a deal goes to 3000 degrees,

Saving (actually saving, not spending more money) hundreds/thousands on switching mortgages, energy deals, etc, the deals get to a few hundred degrees if lucky. Shows the state of our nation I guess.

2015... and people are bothered in how they have chickens killed.... lol :-)

Either way.. the chickens get killed and purely for our consumption... Halal or not i'll eat dat finger licking chicken

Donald Rumsfeld in fancy dress?

This just got voted cold because people mistook the colonel for Rolf Harris.

Could go this now, how much is a nine piece on a friday?

A takeaway or restaurant is not obliged to cater to bigots who pretend to care about animal rights because they hate muslims but are too cowardly and pathetic to admit it

If you do not wish to eat halal meat go somewhere where they do not serve it. The same way that a muslim who wished to consume halal meat would go somewhere that it was served

Thankfully the KFC where I live is rated as the worst restaurant in the city on Tripadvisor. No thanks!

I'd rather eat my own feet, would prob taste better anyway.

nice thanks

Your sentence makes little sense and Contains blatant spelling mistakes. It is called halal and learning english might help you write it as well.

I am more in favour of correct labelling than banning, as much 'halal' meat on the UK is pre stunned anyway, but those who are against it for moral reasons are unlikely to be swayed by an economic argument. Halal and kosher slaughter were recently banned in Denmark and I haven't read any reports of detrimental effects on their economy, though it is perhaps too early to see yet.

Let's face it, the whole UK meat/abattoir industry needs looking at as the horse meat scandal and recent exposés of treatment of animals shows.

Halal is big business particularly in the UK as much of it is exported globally so for those disagreeing with the practice should think what this would do to the fragile farming sector as if we don't provide the slaughtered animal it will be done elsewhere in Europe or north America or new Zealand.

Seems its a "non halal" only deal.
Will consist of lowest price/quality/living condition chickens.
Everything halal is not.
I would rather pay a bit more to know the animals were fed and treated right in their journey to that spicy seasoning.

Any brain?

I don't want to eat a living being - But I think an ISIS video should made of the execution to show its truly Hallal.

The critical point that I like to draw attention, is there is a difference between theory and practice in slaughter, easy to say sitting in an armchair at home, but once there it is different. Same as that for a theoretical armchair soldier and a real one in battlefield.

This part made me chuckle. I hope writing about it isn't bringing up repressed memories of the event.

All those who thorectically compare the different methods of slaughter should go to a slaughter house to see for at least an hour what actually happens in all methods as opposed to philosophising comfortably in your armchair. Usually, as it did to me, put you off meat for a while once you saw it real.

Make sure you check if there aren't any brains in it.

All meat in the UK should be halal. That would solve the majority of the issues.
No need for labelling.
Meat clearly identified
And if you don't want to eat halal u won't need to :smiley:
I should join the UKIP party
Voting hot just for the comedy value of some of the post

It's hallal. I refuse to buy any..! How can they legally torture animals cutting their necks, taking minutes for them to die in agony etc... yet 'trial by water' to test if my wife is a witch is still outlawed. I'm holding out!

didn't manage to get 20% off with mine !!??...

As for the halal issue. I just went to a kfc and asked about this offer. I was tild that they would not have the offer as they are a halal kfc (basically told that halal chicken could not be sourced at a price to make this feasible).
To me that means that on tuesdays most probably lesser quality chicken will be guven to customers of this offer.
True halal chicken must be reared to a specific standard hence no availability in halal outlets. So good(ish) news for the anti halal brigade.
enjoy :wink:

great deal anybody know for how long?

they also advertise family feast to share,but that doesnt mean one huge fatty eating the bucket and giving the bones to the dog.
just because its on a lunch menu doenst mean its good to have for lunch.

And wear sum hot pants like Daisy in Dukes of Hazzard.:wink:

You are right though.My take however from last visit to Paris is ; they eat loads of salt and seasonings in their food.We ate at both KFC and MacDonald and we found their chicken delicious than in UK.

If I want to eat 9 pieces of succulent chicken in one sitting its my prerogative. KFC advertise this as part of their lunch menu.

They would have to pay me to eat this ****.

blimey, people extolling morality over slaughter methods yet overlooking the fact this is minging frankenstein KFC. it's like an ardent environmentalist who snorts loads of coke.

yeah but mash sounds good wid da gravy mon

well paint me green and call me a pickle, wadda deal bubba!

They may be comparing it to the other great chicken delicacy provider, Nandos! :man:

If you happen to be in Paris, try their KFC... it has a different taste compared to UK. Has a taste similar to what you will find in most KFC in asia.

its not proper chicken

I agree, KFC here is far superior to the one in the USA. They actually have less options there now than they used to. You can choose between white and dark meat, crispy, extra crispy, and as standard most single meals come with a serving of mash, gravy and a biscuit (like a savoury scone without raisins). I go to the states often, and went last February to do Route 66, and tried KFC in different states. It was the worst tasting tough griselled filled chicken I've ever had. So weird, because 7-10 years ago, it was good. In comparison, I've not had a bad tasting KFC meal here in the UK and the options are better here! If you do visit the US, stick with Popeyes, which is miles better.

Yuk. That is all.

No wonder so many are obese, Kan't F... Cook! Crap junk food pulls them in. Yeah, it's chicken (of a sort) covered in who knows what? I could buy a whole chicken for that. Ok I have to cook it, but it won't be crap fast food. I wouldn't even think of going in one of these places, or any of the fast junk food outlets, in fact I haven't since the 90s - the only time I put weight on!. What a lazy nation we've become eating from a 'bucket'. YUK!

who picked tuesday, overdosing on fried chicken is a friday/weekend luxury.

is it actually chicken ?

I'm not eating anything that hasn't been stunned, I'm a Christian from this wholly christian country, with christian values. I mean come on even Jesus ate stunned meat, he was sent to save us....

.....with a power station and stun gun.

Praise the lord

Shame KFC tastes terrible these days!

Can't recall that last decent one i've had since the 1990's...

KFC is the best. the pulle dpork is absolute dog turd though

:smiley:

Excellent news!

No deal is forever, or it wouldn't be a deal and this would be HotUKRegularPrices.com

Alright then, a four-off.

How long is Tuesday going to be a thing? I don't think there's any immediate plans for it to end, dear.
As for the deal, one person in the thread has been told it's for the next four weeks. Whether that's correct or not, it's certainly not a 'one-off'.

For how long?

lol i meant the offer... not if the chicken is halal or not

England celebrates, breakfast, luncha nd dinner has just got cheaper

You realise Tuesday isn't a one off event? It actually occurs every 7 days.

is there some sort of list to see which store this is on in??

Lol I got fries with mine when I ordered it yesterday. Just paid extra for a gravy!

Very hot, I love chicken.

That cheap cost comes at a price. Ultimate cruelty abs mutant unhealthy chickens. Cold as ice!!!!

Not really on my high horse, just despairing at a website that would make a one-off KFC deal its 8th hottest deal of all time.

Feel free to continue writing childish responses to me though, if that's what takes your fancy.

Imagine the outcry if the foot was on the other shoe and Muslims asked for mandatory halal labelling. If you have such an issue with Halal meat simply ask the owner of the establishment if the meat is halal or not. We Muslims can do it and haven't starved to death, I'm sure all you people with a conscience can do it too. With regards to supermarkets, a) I wouldn't buy supermarket meat because I'd rather support my local butcher b) Muslims won't buy meat or other products unless explicitly listed as halal or suitable for vegetarians. Supermarket know this hence they sell explicitly stated halal meat in areas with Muslim populations. Note how many non halal butchers you find these days and how many halal ones you find.

Frankly if you cared so much you'd become vegan. Don't you think being electrocuted is painful? What do you think about living in unnatural environments being pumped full of crap? Is being able to hear other chickens be electrocuted ethical to you? Or being plunged into darkness on a conveyor belt moments before your death? Those of you who think chickens are tickled to death need to wise up and make difficult ethical decisions. After all its called SLAUGHTER not playtime. How on earth else do you think demand is met for the amount of meat we consume?

It's brilliant. You get 9 chicken pieces and chips!

It's crap, but the skin and seasoning is like chicken crack.

[/quote]Nope I guess your picture is very befitting, intolerant because people like Aurora like to comment rather nonsensically on issues that have no relevance on a cheap chicken thread, keep to the topic or move it to misc.

Intolerant because she is picking up on one religion despite Jews doing the same. Intolerant because most of these abattoirs do actually stun before killing, most of these abattoirs are owned by non Muslims yet she has a problem.

Reduced to name calling now because someone disagrees with you. My views apply to kosher and halal food equally. Just label it so consumers can choose whether to buy it or not. And if you think eating a hot cross bun is in any way related to a grown up discussion on halal/kosher food production, well it's certainly not me that's moronic. Can I eat easter eggs or are you banning me from those too?

I voted hot BTW because it is a good discount on the normal price when all's said and done.

I did indeed have my chicken, it was tasty nom. I didn't call you a bigot but you are a hypocrite. A hot cross bun is associated with Christianity, yet you an atheist eats it. Would you have the same problem with it being Jewish? no well let me teach you something Kosher and Halal methods are the same- Muslims can eat Kosher meat. I don't see your comments on halal being relevant when all halal KFC's have big signs adverting the fact that they are halal, they aren't after your money they are after people who want to eat halal and non judgmental people, so what the problem is?

Have some chicken and shhh, that's a good pikachu.Shhhh.

I'm hungry now...

its not cruel if you make love to the chicken first

Going through the comments, there's obviously few different schools of thought here:
Camp 1: Anti halal/kosher practices, who want these methods of staughter banned in the UK (my way or the highway).
Camp 2: Not particularly against ritual slaughter, but want their meat to be labelled correctly (to each their own).
Camp 3: People who only eat the ritually slaughtered meat.
Camp 4: The one who don't care either way and will eat anything that moves.
Camp 5: Stop killing animals and go veg.

Camp 1 and Camp 3 have locked horns calling each other names. Camp 4 doesn't care about what's going on. Camp 2 are about freedom of choice and proper labelling. Camp 5 are the minority who are getting ignored.

It tastes... AWESOME

Your comments are laughable. The only hate and intolerance in this thread is coming from those who are crying bigot at people who disagree with them. You are the one who is trying to make the discussion all about religion not consumer choice.

If a hot cross bun had a blessing said over it by a vicar, I might well avoid it on principle. But if it was labelled up as 'blessed', I'd be fine about that. Consumer info and choice.

It now seems posters are not allowed to criticise anything related to Islam and if we do we 'hate Muslim ideology'. I would prefer to have a sensible discussion but maybe the mods should close this thread and give you chance to eat some chicken and calm down a bit.

Halal / Kosher or not, isn't most chicken killed in the same way (because it's cheapest / easiest way is probably one of the main incentives)? Agree animals should be stunned first. Unless very strict, stunning doesn't deminish halal status. All meat should be labelled as stunned or not. Personally I'm not fussed if it has or hasn't had a prayer said to it.

I wonder how many people who object to halal meat ensure their chicken is from a free range and humane source, where it's not just locked in a shed with no day light or even room to turn around.

Here we go, saying someone is intolerant because they disagree, that's exactly the problem and you just don't get it...

Decent deal, if it's a decent KFC. But KFC must be the most inconsistent food chain going in terms of taste and quality.

I agree that religiously slaughtered meat should be clearly labeled, and some KFC's do have the Halal emblem on the front door, at least in the stores that are located in major cities with a large Muslim population.

But I guess for economic reasons a lot of Halal meat is sold without any label or sign in stores that aren't in areas where there is a large Muslim population, which is completely wrong. It should be made perfectly clear so the consumer can decide for themselves.

Yawn shhh it's cheap chicken go eat it. As others have pointed out apparently the muslim ones aren't partaking. The signs in all Kfc are prominent to tell you if it is halal or not. If you're not religious why does it bug you? I can understand if a jew doesn't want to eat it because they have to have a Jewish person killing the animal and a Jewish person overseeing the whole process but you're not so why do you care? Are you a vegan? No then shhh eat the chicken. Do you avoid Easter and Christmas ? Do you avoid eating hot cross buns and don't drink wine ? Do you avoid fish ? Stop with the hypocrisy you just hate the muslim ideology. No name calling. Be proud of who you are. First step is admitting your flaws. Admit you're an intolerant person! Your comments on here are super unwarranted. Remember it's a thread about chicken now go get some and shut up. Reporting this thread to the mods. Completely pointless discussion to be having.

Nope, if you must know I am an obligate carnivore. :wink: Not that it matters, I am simply against non-stunned meat, I have no issue eating it otherwise, religiously slaughtered or not. I was just pointing out that Halal/Kosher has been proven to not be humane, that's all.

"if youre non religious , it shouldnt matter to you because to you its irrelevant to your beliefs.
do you avoid and reject everything that has links to religion. "

Well for many people being 'non religious' means just that - they wish religion to have no part in their lives. So why should it, in effect, be forced on them by meat being inadequately labelled? It is irrelevant which religion is doing the blessing.

No, I don't avoid everything that has a connection to Christianity or any other faith. I just think things should be accurately labelled so that people can make an informed decision about purchase.

Presumably you don't believe that holy water, blessed by a priest, has the power to symbolically wash away sins..... so you would be happy if you found out that most bottled supermarket drinking water was in fact 'holy water', but wasn't labelled as such. I wouldn't... but I be fine with it if it was labelled up so I could make a decision.

You tolerate their cruelty to animals because they tolerate your eating habits? I don't understand? If its cruel then its cruel no matter what fantasy they believe to be true.

It's a chicken deal on hot deals
Can't believe you lot have the time in your life to argue about this.

There's certain traits of him I like, and certain others I don't. I tolerate him because looking at the bigger picture, he is a good man + I married his daughter.

I have a few muslim friends. They are good people. I don't agree with the practice of ritual slaughter. Doesn't impact our friendship... just that when we go out to eat at a local fried chicked shop, they get fried chicken... and I get the chips! I don't dislike them. I tolerate their religious choice of eating what they like, and they tolerate mine.

to all Chicken lovers this is how horribly chicken get treated, well before they even get to a point of final food making operation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzwO-uFZWOI
no petition for these poor fellas probably magic word is missing

its possible to disagree as many muslims do with each other , but the issue is the motivation behind that disagreement. if one dislikes then it is an islamophobia if its a position that is away from mainstream koranic islam.

i take it that youre a vegan.

So if you 'dislike Muslim practice' you are an 'Islamaphobe'? This suggests that no criticism of Islamic practise can be made without being called a derogatory name. If I object to companies selling halal meat without informing customers because I am an atheist and do not wish religion to be part of the food I eat , I am an Islamaphobe? If you object on grounds of cruelty, you are an Islamaphobe?

Just sounds like name calling to try to silence debate on subjects you don't like being taken to task about.

As for 'What does it matter about the prayer if you aren't religious?' - well it obviously doesn't matter to a lot of people as they knowingly eat halal, but to those of us who are determinedly non religious, we should have the right to know that religion has played no part in our food.

Maybe a large percentage of NZ lamb is halal - but it should be labelled as such so the consumer can decide for themselves whether to purchase.

I have been taking advantage of this offer for the past few weeks at my local KFC each Tuesday lunch time.

why do you tolerate him if it is not about something you dislike?

Anyway ...

Can anyone beat 12 pieces???

I think I might make it to the Guinness book..

Who is Rolf Harris?

Nope. Once again, you are resorting to name calling simply because some people want their food labelled accurately. I think it is you and certain other posters on this thread who are uneducated if you have no answer to legitimate concerns other than to cry 'bigot', 'Islamaphobe' and 'Muslim hater' because someone disagrees with you.

Simply not true.

Gregory et al. 2008. Blood in the respiratory tract during slaughter with and without stunning in cattle. Meat Science. 82:13-16.

Authors found that between 36% and 69% of cattle aspirated blood during Halal and Kosher slaughter due to anatomical differences between cattle and sheep. This was deemed a significant welfare issue as is abusive handling and stressful restraint methods.

Gibson et al. 2009. Electrocencephalographic responses of halothane-anaesthetised calves to slaughter by ventral-neck incision without prior stunning. New Zealand Veterinary Journal. 57:77-85.

Authors showed pain was experienced when animals were not stunned beforehand.

As above the RSPCA, as well as the BVA and FAWC, are against a lack of stunning. I hope no one thinks these professionals are bigots for stating this.

Is this supposed to be cheap, I don't go there with all the Halal, etc. Doesn't sound cheap to me.

It is not... it is the worst way to slaughter an animal.
http://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/farm/slaughter/religiousslaughter

Comment

Why do you disagree with the Halal/Kosher method of slaughter?? Surely if you care about animal welfare then you would promote only this method??

It has proven time and time again that halal/kosher is the ONLY humane way to slaughter an animal if it must be done at all.

Hola guys, (soz Hello for all you nationalists) it is chicken, cheap chicken, cheap finger licking chicken. Stop fighting over Halal and non halal. No one is forcing anyone to eat anything, if you care so much about the animal become vegetarian, if you care so much about the animal stop eating curry cos erm newsflash bigots curry houses are owned by Muslims who use halal meat and the ones that aren't still get supplied by halal butchers. What difference does how my chicken get killed affect me, eating halal chicken won't make you into a Muslim just the same way eating kosher won't make you Jewish (sorry lads you won't lose your foreskin). Some people chose to have their meat killed differently, stop jumping on the "lets hate everything about Muslims" bandwagon, just shows you as uneducated.

I did not add he part about the 10% off!!

not national, check with your kfc

Yeah because that's TOTALLY my point. Wait, what?! Get a life!

They had this offer on in the Northwich branch along with 2 large sides (Including big bottles of pop) for 2 quid . Filled 3 of us with a piece left over............ LOL

all day tues? might have to take day off work.lol

zee84 What do you mean "a further 10% off to make up for all the times we ate crap"? The majority of my service I got great grub! I wonder if it was because my best mate was a cook or because I was in the Pay Corps! lol

KFC Zinger Burgers are the tops for me! Thanks for the post! HOT!!!

Incorrect. Tolerance and dislike are two very different virtues.
I like my mum-in-law.
I tolerate my father-in-law, but I don't dislike him.
I dislike my sister-in-law and do not tolerate her.

This is 66p per piece of chicken.
A very good price for KFC but if you want Chicken for cheaper.
How does 48p per chicken piece sound?
Morrison's already do a tub of southern fried chicken for £4 (7 pices) which works out as 57p per piece.
But with the following deal, of 3 tubs for £10 you get 48p per piece.
The additional advantage is that you can freeze one or two tubs to use later.

I know the brand lover won't like it but for value for money, it's a good deal.

don't like chickens soldier boy

9 pieces for £5.99 and you don't have to eat their horrible chips

I am in fact a Religionophobe, not an Islamophobe :smiley:

I would love to get into a big debate I really would but it's not the place and I've said enough already.

EDIT: and no, if someone doesn't agree with certain elements of Islam it does not make them an Islamophobe! An Islamophobe incorporates having hate and/or fear of the religion, it is possible not to hate/fear and just disagree on things...

They don't get fresh chicken every day I'd guess Monday would be one of the fresh days as no deliveries on a Sunday. Last time I had one it was the worst thing I've ever had in my mouth ever.

if a person is disliking (and maybe not accepting) of islam and or muslim practice then obviously that person is an islamophobe.

just because one tolerates , it doesnt make the disliking any less

No you didn't but you're saying an Islamophobe is something different than it actually is...

I have an explanation for that but I've subjected people to enough comments regarding my stance on religion so I won't bother typing it here.

not saying that you are. i dont know you.

why would a non believer care about a prayer?

that secular slaughter is also christian slaughter .

no, it means:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Islamophobe

I am not an Islamophobe

islamophobe = " 'Normal' people who tolerate, but disagree with Islam and Muslim practices "

im done, can't read the stupidity any longer...

why would it say christian/non-christian?!

Because they're non-believers obviously!

Abattoirs in the UK have slaughtered using secular rules but now religion is playing its part in changing that.

It's about being given the information to choose halal/non-halal, and the fact that a lot of people see Halal as extra pain for the animal than they already are subjected to.

Ideally no animals would live a short painful life before being killed for consumption but that won't happen...

It should be labelled clearly!

Halal meat is being sold as normal non halal.

That is the problem.

We all know if the consumer had a CHOICE they would always pick the non halal option! Halal should be an option for the people who want it, not an obligation for all.

Actually my point was that if the meat was kosher and/or halal then it would not JUST say halal on it but also kosher and/or halal as many previous meats that I have seen or purchased . both terms would have to be labelled for meats both halal and kosher.

Also you ask if I am against meat products being accurately labelled as halal and non-halal . Well the answer is yes I am , as i think if it is important to write whatever aurhorities have approved it ie halal and/or kosher.
I do not approve writing non-halal on it as it has no significance in this case just the same way as meats do not write non -christian or Christian on it or other faiths.
The reference to the sayings of people leaving the country etc were not to you but the others that have mentioned that as they might have listened to propaganda such as 85% of all meat in the uk is halal.
Ps yes I am all for the information and the Choice for the consumer. I hope people realise this for every animal including pigs and cats and dogs too etc every animal should have the life of it scrutinised but not heading off track what has all this got to do with this thread ?

moron...

i think islamophobes and racists .. covers it more honestly

"Again another person missing the point , there is no evidence to claim that the figures previously mentioned in this thread are correct or not. If you have evidence then provide it , people are looking foolish making comments based on propaganda hence no need to mention people leaving the Country or falsely claiming people forcing others into things.
ps why would they just label it halal if it was read by a kosher,/muslim prayer?"

Are you against meat products being accurately labelled as halal and non halal? That's all most people want. It allows them to make an informed decision. Where have I mentioned leaving the country or being forced to eat halal? If meat was adequately labelled it wouldn't be an issue.

Many people do in fact object to either the method of halal or kosher slaughter or the introduction of (any) religious practise into the production of their food. It is not racist or bigotted to want to be given the information and allowed to make a choice.

saying a prayer doesnt change that...

I'm voting cold because it came up in my daily emails today.. no good on Wednesday is it

Again another person missing the point , there is no evidence to claim that the figures previously mentioned in this thread are correct or not.

"Get your facts straight" – nobody mentioned the taste being different but you!

I'm used to HUKD hurting my wallet. Now they're going for the gut!
I saw this just as I left the gym and had no choice...

Burn 500+ calories
Consume 1000+ kfc calories

= winning?

Not true, in one year out of 940 million animals and birds slaughtered 104 million where Halal slaughtered. Approx 11%.

Stop the hypocrisy and stop parent ending you really care about the welfare of an animal you're about to devour
It's just an excuse to start a fiery debate or to point finger at someone from another religion hiding behind the veil of so called "animal welfare"

As usual, anyone against kosher or halal slaughter is labelled a racist or bigot. Most consumers just want food products to be adequately labelled so they can make an informed decision. Some won't give a toss and will happily eat anything, regardless of origin. Fair enough. However, there are plenty of people who either care about how the animal is killed or who do not wish their food to have a Jewish or Muslim prayer said over it because they aren't Jewish or Muslim or they don't see why someone else's mumbo jumbo should form part of their food chain.

Just label it halal and be done with it. Then we can choose what we want to eat.

Pretending*

Comment

To all the people who're apparently in favour of the "welfare" of animals, stop the hypocrisy! If you were really that much concerned with the WELFARE of the animal you wouldn't ever opt for a fried chicken! Shoot it down , electrocute it, stone it etc etc the end result is that you killed an animal and cut it into pieces BRUTALLY and then what's even more "Inhumane" and brutal is that you fried it! Orr in the case of some steaks, you beat the hell out of that poor thing

Cold as this is a better deal: http://youtu.be/B5D7-D6COb0

No they wouldn't. I don't think you understand what racism or a race is.

Your body won't thank you when you're older...

If they were only against halal, would they be a racist?

No idea what a Jeremy Kyle is but i'll be sure to google it right now

Why would a racist be against Halal in particular? They'd be more against a particular race cooking or serving them the food.

Yes I agree there is definitely a certain amount of bigotry surrounding the subject right now.

Anyone know a decent KFC near London or Herts? One where the chicken, bread, salad etc tastes fresh.

Can't believe people eat this rubbish? No wonder there's an obesity epidemic in the country.

Plus obviously people concerned with animal welfare, hence why the UK is often termed a nation of animal lovers and animal based charities like the RSPCA do so well.

It's clearly ridiculous to accuse people who want animal welfare standards to improve to be xenophobic or anti jewish or muslim people because there is clearly an issue with how these animals are slaughtered. I often comment on animal welfare issues and most have no connection with jewish or muslim people.

who cares if its halal or not

If you find your meat a bit tough! then you've gone to the wrong KFC.
Kung Fu Chicken

Who needs a bun? £2.80 equivalent...

I fancy one of these:

That sauce pot isn't tiny - it's HUUUGGGEEEEE!!! Look at in comparison to the size of that piece of chicken

Hot - because it didn't include halal !!!

I have no desire to eat anything which has been killed in the name of any religion!

So, to have a different opinion means that person is a "jerk"?

Get a grip.

Regardless of the method of slaughter if you eat or otherwise use and exploit animals then you clearly lack empathy towards them. Since we can live perfectly healthy lives without eating animals then it is wholly unnecessary regardless of how "humane" you think the method of raising or slaughtering them is. There is no such thing as "humane" slaughter, it is always callous, bloody and violent and it always disregards the animals right to life. The best reason most people will come up with to justify consuming animals is to simply state that they enjoy the taste of them. If you think that palate pleasure is logical or rational enough reason to continue paying people to kill animals for you then by all means carry on just leave the Muslims and Jews out of it. So long as your money supports these archaic and murderous industries you are no better than they are.

Yawn....

200 heat in 1h30m? Really? Are people forgetting what KFC chicken tastes like?

Comment

Totally agree, well said!

I also saw the sign at my local KFC, I rang head office customer service, they said they new nothing about the deal !!!!
I went in last night and bought 2 kfc Tuesday buckets the lady said on for the its on for next 4 Tuesdays she thinks . Amazing deal

Agree, but look at the size of this piece of 'Colonel's Chicken' I got form KFC. The sauce is there for size comparison. Tiny!!!

Bigger isn't always better is a lie propagated by women whos DNA has mutated in such a way that they consider men's feelings.

anyone asked them how long they will be doing this for

3d printed chicken yummy

This is all well and good and sure, I'll give it some heat. But, I'm still waiting on this bad boy to hit the UK: http://metro.co.uk/2015/01/26/kfc-has-launched-the-double-down-dog-and-yep-the-buns-made-out-of-fried-chicken-5037089/?ito=facebook

Chickens aren't pumped with hormones in the EU, not even in the US and even they do that to cattle.

I used to adore this place until I visited the Stirling franchise and there was a tiny cloudy-white bug crawling all over my friend's meal. Haven't had the stomach to visit since. Nonetheless, great deal for those who aren't now sick at the thought of eating there!

I used to love KFC but last time I went in one they served the meal on a white cardboard "party plate"? Put me off, yes the foods the same but I swear its nicer in a box, do all the restaurents do the same with sit in customers? I think it looks **** tbh.havent been back since

I have no problem with that argument, and respect your choice, but I do have an issue when its a quote verbatim from the daily fail, which often it is.

Is this on-the-bone or boneless? Call me weird but I love boneless and can't eat off the bone :disappointed:

Its not Islamophobia in my case and many others, it's common sense

Halal inhumane.

Kosher is fine.

But I prefer electrocuting the beast before killing it or just shooting it! Apparently I should sleep better at night knowing that

Thank you for a sensible and reasoned reply, instead of being an Islamaphobe.

To get prices like this they really must treat their animals like S**T

:disappointed:

Agree.
In a next life,try being a chicken and see how you enjoy being locked up 24hrs,force-fed,pumped with hormones etc. and then get your throat cut.:disappointed:

Is this every Tuesday from now on or just yesterday?

Agree,get halal now whether you want it or not.:neutral_face:

This is ridiculously expensive! £3.99 at Chesters or Dixy's 6 wings, chips and a drink

Can confirm its on at the old kent road branch even though Theres no flyers out!

KFC HOT SO GOOD

You are not completely in the right here I think. I was in Blaenau Ffestiniog last year (yes, it is in the UK). Small town of about 5000 people. Just one kebab shop owned by a nice Turkish man I got acquainted with. As you may expect, he only serves halal because of his religious beleifs. People in the area are not bothered about ritually slaughtered meat either way, so when he opens his shop late into the night, people coming back from the pubs and clubs flock into his shop.

It is was about maximising profits, he's be serving pepperoni and salami pizzas in his shop.

I am sure there are hundreds if not thousands of such fried chicken/kebab shops dotted around the country that make money from such ignorant and bigot customers... not necessarily about maximising profits.

Never heard of democracy? Oh yea this is a UK site, no democracy to see here....

I agree, all valid points on top of, and a lot more important than the halal slaughter issue!

mate, the ones being labelled bigots are the ones who are very happy to complain about the spread of halal everywhere, but can't be asred to make that little bit of an effort to find out where the meat they are buying is sourced from, and if it is halal then avoid it. Admittedly it is not easy to identify which abattoirs the meat is sourced from, but there are ways (see my post above).

Gutted, missed this Tuesdays deal, but gonna get in there next week. Love KFC!

typo's above. can't correct as no option to edit on phone app

This is a good deal for those that like KFC.

To all the other jerks arguing about "humane" "religion" etc etc etc have a look about the industry http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broiler Billions of these are killed for food every year. Upto 40% die due to suffocation during capture and transfer etc prior to slaughter! Its food and humanity is just semantics when billions are being killed or wasted and not even eaten! Do all those idiots arguing about humanity have a word for all those fishes and prawns that suffocate before they die when they are caught! Or would you like for each fish and prawn to be stunned before it dies or if suffocation being out of water after being caught too! Or is "humane" reserved for what suits your fetish for arguing.

It's food and a deal.

Has anyone of those idiots arguing ever reared chickens for eating on their farm? Had anyone of those idiots ever slaughtered a chicken or lamb (humanely or quickly or efficiently or legally or whatever you would like to call it) for eating or watched one being slaughtered for eating in their farm etc for personal use. Do any of these jerks even know how to quickly pluck a dead chicken off its feathers or remove is fine feathers or deskin it or gut it and clean it.

F@#$ing idiots arguing about things they don't have a clue about. Vote hot or cold and jog along.

Sorry for adding my bit of nonsense to this thread.

ps: I do not work in the poultry interested. Neither am in interested in religion or the method of slaughter. I am just interested in eating tasty chicken! I have caught and slaughtered and degutted and cleaned and defeathered as may have been needed for personal use chickens grown at home abroad. I have also been to commercial farms that grow poultry and other birds and other animals and bought directly from them abroad for personal consumption.

Have you even seen how much space the chickens have to live in. Do they ever see sunlight! Have you seen how they get trampled when they are exhausted in the coop at commercial farms.

Jokers and city slickers and clueless idiots the lot arguing. Probably Half of the ones that die (one way or another) in commercial poultry don't get eaten. If only people could waste less then they wouldn't be arguing like idiots here.

**** nearly died last time I ate from KFC. Couldn't be paid to eat it.

Their corn on the cobs make great love toys (a tip for valentines day)

Why do people 5lag KFC off?, I go around once a month and enjoy it.

Great post..thx
Got some last night and a receipt to fill in for 20% off next time. :sunglasses:

enjoy the wednesday squits

WOW ! 9 pieces of cancer and heart disease causing ACRYLAMIDE and re-used TRANSFAT for only £5.99 !! we don't need to worry as long as we have free NHS !!!

It's cheaper than it would otherwise be, it's a deal. Anything else being discussed here is wholly irrelevant.

Why are people being labelled bigots when they're stating they would like to know if a product they are buying has been produced via halal or not?

I'm not religious and would prefer not to have animals slaughtered in this way, just like I wouldn't want to be forced to be married in a church as I'm not religious.

Just because someone doesn't want to eat Halal doesn't make them bigots, it can mean A) they think that method of slaughter is inhumane, or B) they aren't religious, or follow another religion.

And they're Muslims, not Mooslims

Heat Added!

Can any of your readers beat this?

Clearly it is murder but some death's are less violent, stressful and painful than others. Humane is a funny term considering the cruelty humans inflict on other people and animals but it's still important the slaughter technique is as painless and stress free as possible unless you have some warped belief that because they are being killed anyway it doesn't matter how horrific the slaughtering process is.

Lots of animal cruelty in the past is now banned which is good. It's not anti-religion or xenophobic to want animal welfare standards to improve. However its frustrating for many that religion is more powerful than public opinion on morality.

I think the chicken quality in KFC is amazing.. Esp the breast cuts.. It's made from prime cuts...

Anyway, just as a matter of interest how many KFC chicken pieces has anyone had in one sitting? I've had 12...

Umm..
"I despair at this site sometimes."

No, not at all princess..

Someone stated that a poll said that 87% of people were against halal meat.. Just had a look at the UK 2011 census data. Muslims make up 4.8% of the UK population, so it is good to know that more than double the UK population of Muslims is happy to eat halal meat or doesn't mind either way.

It'll keep demand up.

By the way, does anyone even work at an abattoir or have knowledge to put forward to compare halal and non-halal slaughtering methods in the UK?

At the moment it is just the fact that the animal is spoken to in a language most people don't understand before it dies that is upsetting people.

Good for you. Now when can we see you start your own business then?

Comment "humanely slaughtered" it's a bloody murder. Can never be humane.

In Asda atm it's £3.97 for huge tray.

Cheap chicken coated with the contents of the colonels nuts. Naaaasty!

Junk food. Deep fried.

I was hardly on my high horse...

Am I the only one who thinks this is a rip-off? How big are the pieces of chicken? You can get a huge tray of chicken legs and thighs for £3 in any supermarket. I've been to KFC once in my life and watched as a friend tucked into a bargain bucket, all to himself, and as he took a bite, loads of hot fat dribbled down his chin and back into the bucket. I was so repulsed I never set foot back in a KFC and I live a 3 minute walk from one. Wouldn't go if the food was free, urgh!

I don't think 9 pieces of chicken for £5.99 is a good deal. I can get a freshly cooked mixed grill inc 5 diff meats and a pint of beer or cider at my local for £5.45...

Suppose it might be a good deal if you like this fast food thingiemabob.

I hope most people here voicing EXTREME opinions on here realise that the meat ie chicken goes from cage (or wherever it may be) to what you see in the kfc box after you receive your order.
It does not cut itself and if people are so concerned about animal welfare then choose not to eat it,maybe?

Are you brain damaged?

So much Xenophobia here.

This is the fact: Halal chicken from KFC is killed exactly the same way as non-Halal chicken, except a few religious words are uttered before the animal's death.

If you want to complain about not stunning animals before slaughter, look towards Kosher meat which is NEVER stunned.

I can't believe it bothers people so much that some of their meat has been spoken to before death. What is the big deal with that. Would you prefer it for slaughter houses to utter 'Rule Britannia' before they are killed?

I think it very likely that all chicken in all KFCs is halal. If you research it, you'll find a significant proportion of meat generally is now halal - far exceeding the proportion of the population that actually demand it.

Lamb for instance - apparently 70% of all lamb is halal.

But the proportion of meat being halal is increasing constantly. The thinking behind why, is that there are fewer (but bigger) abattoirs than there used to be (apparently lots closed due to the financial costs involved with complying with more and more regulations) and many are switching over to 100% halal slaughter as it simply makes things easier and cheaper for them, rather than have to essentially run two separate production lines. As a consequence, halal meat is now becoming very common in food products, and the belief is that the majority of most meat is now halal by default (and increasing all the time).

IMO any food containing halal meat (or kosher come to that) should be labelled clearly as I believe everybody should have the choice as to whether they buy it or not - not just certain members of society. Very few places do this and I find it totally unacceptable as I simply would not buy either halal or kosher food/meat if I was allowed to make an informed choice.

The public are being intentionally misled as it's such an easy thing to do - after all, businesses have to comply with a million and one other regulations, why can't they comply with one requesting they mark their products clearly if it includes halal/kosher products? Maybe it's because they don't want to as it may affect their profits..................................



Very well said and I could not agree more, consumers should be made fully aware what they are buying and not sold and fed it in stealth.

Animals suffer unimaginably when slaughtered in that disgusting way, for the government to allow it to continue in today's day and age is nothing short of a scandal, and having the 'prayer' read or played in the background during the process likens it to a satanic ritual than religious.

Buy ethically slaughtered animals, support your local businesses, farms and butchers go for quality not mass produced rubbish.

Plenty of links on YouTube about the 'halal' process, take a few minutes and go have a look.

i think your mistaken, non halal food is beaten and then killed,

halal is what muslims is a blessing they say before slaughtering the animal, that is all... however some people dont like the idea of a animals head being cut before death and rather their meat be kicked around and abused and then chucked into a machine to be sliced up

Wouldn't dream of eating this. People really need to think about all the garbage they're putting into themselves. 9 bits of a chicken for six quid. Add in feed, add in meds (to keep the chicken healthy) add in slaughter and transport, and profit. Is it really a bargain? Makes my stomach churn but each to their own. I was taught never to cut costs with meat, and I never will.

Couple of things which are clearly politically incorrect in your reply to halalharrys comment: you claim he/she believes in a false god , I can see nowhere where he/she claims to mention a god in his comment hence he was trying to make a point in the debate. Secondly he /she is not trying to force what he considers on anyone because if you read what he/she says then you make a non-sensical point.
It is up to the relevant authority to label food accordingly and looking at previous comments I would personally request significant more proof before suggesting the figures mentioned of supposed halal meat being used in the Uk is correct however either way your comment is embarassing and would get you into trouble with many authorities.

For those of you HUKD members who are conscious that they don't want to eat ritually slaughtered meat, kosher is easy to identify by virtue of where it's sold (majority jewish areas) and is normally very clearly marked as such. As for halal, it is a different story. Every abattoir in the UK is given a 4 digit code (in the form of "UK 1234 EC"). When you buy your meat from your local supermarket, it has this code on the back of the pack. Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC) has a list of all the abattoirs (www.halalhmc.org/userfiles/file/hmc_certified_product_supplier_list.pdf). If the meat you are buying is on this list, don't by it, go to the manager of the supermarket and make a formal complaint that this meat is halal but not marked as such. Sadly meat sourced from outside the UK is harder to identify.

Agreed, if the worst happens and that cute dog in your avatar gets really sick, I trust you will stab it in the neck and let it bleed out rather than having the vet 'put it to sleep'.

lol breach of human rights , just when i thought your lot could not get any more melodramatic

A restaurant is a business, their focus is on profits. Unlike you, they do not discriminate. They will do whatever is necessary to maximise profits and cater to their audience (whoever they may be). They do not owe you or your fellow cowardly scumbags anything

You are a vocal bigot on a deals forum. You pretend to care about animal rights because the daily mail (or some other right-wing rag) told you that you should. You are too stupid to understand the finer points of animal welfare, you are too lazy to enquire about where your meat is sourced from. You probably eat halal food on a regular basis in real life, even though you're a stereotypical right wing patriot on the internet

pathetic

Completely agree with you. It's a shame a lot of bigots who claim to be pro-animal rights (and therefore anti-halal) whine all day about it, and after a few pints at the pub stray to the local fried chicken and eat the halal chicken. I appreciate muslims who do not eat halal because of their principles (right or wrong, that is not my place to say, just that they have the balls to stick to their principles). When a majority of these bigots stand up and say they will not eat ritually slaughtered meat, the retailers, abattoirs and the government will be have to take notice and start marking all meat accordingly.

Its a matter of choice, for people who want to eat only ritually slaughtered meat and for those who don't.

Deeeeeeeeeeeee licious! [/quote damn right :-)

Yes. What's confusing you, sweetcheeks?

Last time I was at Blackburn KFC "Sorry, we have no chicken"...... beats the "sorry we have no gravy or corn" which is 75% cert.
p.s. I don't want Halal meat - I don't want anything religious but certainly nothing barbaric and religious!

When I or another muslim fancies something to eat, we will do the necessary research to find a place that serves halal meat or go somewhere that does not serve halal meat and choose the vegetarian option

Bigots who pretend to care about animal rights are too lazy to this. They won't enquire about where meat is sourced from, they won't settle for the vegetarian option. They will whine and cry on any forum (public or otherwise) about Sharia law, Mooslims taking over and the need for independant businesses to forego profits in favour of catering to stupid, pathetic morons like themselves

Firstly, a poll is only good for the number of people that actually took their time to vote on it (something that someone has to actively participate in rather be forced to answer). Taking that as evidence that the majority of people in the UK are against Halal is not right because the sample size does not represent the UK. It represents the people that took their time to vote in that particular poll.

And again, I'm not saying it's a non-issue. What I am saying is that this is a website about how much value the deal represents. If the deal is not applicable to you (i.e. Halal meat when you are against Halal) you really have no need to come in here, vote cold and preach to everyone else that your opinion is the right one. I wouldn't go onto a make-up deal even to talk about testing on animals because it's not relative to the value that it represents, on top of the product holding no interest for me. I'm not accusing you particularly here, but you are one of the people that aren't coming here to talk specifically about the deal. Unlike some, you have actually offered some evidence to back-up the reasoned debate, others haven't.

Besides, there is good debate, and then there is people making a scene because it's fun to watch arguments. A debate needs validity on both sides to make it worthwhile. Too many of these "debates" are not reasoned, or are mis-informed.

This is a hot deal when you consider the standard price. The quality of chicken, both alive and when ready for consumption is questionable, but that's not a issue with the deal, that's product related.

I've no idea why. Either meat is murder, or meat isn't murder.

That diet sounds so ridiculous it's almost like it's a parody of the most comical of fad diets. :smile:

They should do yorkshire puddings and gravey. Heat

Haha

Yes, 'I'm sure' is a guess, that's why I used it. Yes I agree the word progression encompasses education to gain knowledge and understanding, not sure what you're getting at there...but, by me saying I'm sure, it means I am hoping that the general British public is in favour of animals not facing needless cruelty and suffering, which I'm sure you would also say you're sure about, or at least I would hope? (sorry, gambling again!)

All I've done is add my two pence worth to the discussion that's arisen regarding Halal as I feel rather strongly about it, as it appears many others do...

The amount of people that actually care about Halal/Kosher meat relative to the number that don't is much smaller than people here seem to make out.

That doesn't negate it being an issue, but all the deals that attract these kinds of debates make it seem like half the country is against it, when in reality many don't care (or aren't actively doing anything about it).

It's a good deal, and the rules of the website state that the deal is where the heat should come from. Those with issues of morality toward the dealer really shouldn't be coming into these topics unless what you have to say is actually relevant to the deal. "This isn't real chicken" is not a contribution, it's flame/troll bait, as is starting Halal arguments.

Finger Licking good

And in this word progression you use I'm sure you would agree that education is important to gain knowledge and understanding and hence I suggest that you try it. Using terms like "I'm sure" equals a guess and this is not a gambling site . oh and PS. Your post brings little relevance to this site.

Is it really that hard to work out which slaughter technique is the most humane and make that the only legal slaughter technique. Considering the majority eat meat it is important that the most humane method is used. The cost of slaughter will always be near insignificant compared to the cost of breeding livestock and processing them. There is no logical, rational reason not to follow this unless you are basically sadistic with no empathy with regard animals.

Nationwide?
Fingers-licked

halal

Voted hot to annoy people who seem to be food snobs.

High horse?

1. Take one animal (a chicken) and slaughter it using a pure halal method.
2. Send it to a KFC that sells non-halal meat.
3. Fry chicken in same kitchen that serves non-halal meat.
4. Voilà! No longer halal and nothing for anyone who doesn't enjoy halal meat to worry about.

Halal is not just about the slaughtering, it has to be cooked in a place free from non-halal products, by someone who is Muslim, Jewish or Christian. It can also be slaughtered by one of those three, not just a Muslim.

Google it and read a few forums with Muslims asking other Muslims questions, people have different views on it. Some even go so far as to say it cannot leave the sight of a Muslim or else it is no longer halal! (Extreme)

The biggest problem with halal meat isn't that it is a religious meat, it's that it is being forced on us without people even knowing, whether you agree or not is not the point but not been given the chance to choose is disgusting.

Pure BS, male chicks are destroyed on day 1. All chicken meat is female.

Two great pieces of news today KFC deal and this ;-)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/11401724/Food-fat-warnings-should-not-have-been-introduced.html

hot as wings!

Once you see a massive head on little arms and legs you never unsee it

£4.81 if you have 20% off from your last receipt..... :smiley:

Most of its cockerel anyway. Every "chicken" that's born has to be either Male or female. Males are cheaper of course so kfc fill their boots. Worth considering!

Could not agree more

Well written.

Good deal this for sure!

Extremely delighted to see a lot of us avoiding halal chicken, why should we comsume this when the moslems never touch non halal?

We should all get a choice in life about this issue, everytime KFC change a restaurant to halal, they lose loyal customers like some of us on hotukdeals.

why has offers turned into a debate on slaughter? be llends

Just had to go in and buy it today **** you Hotukdeals.

where can i find out which stores are participating

+1

That's the trouble with the current 'government', they refuse to listen to the people! They'll be out in a few months anyway.

Yeah you can't really slaughter a dead animal. :wink:

Stunning rarely kills the animal so why not use a lower voltage stun that only knocks them out for 30 seconds max? Where in the Quran does it state that an animal cannot be stunned or unconscious? Animals are demanded to be treated with respect in the Quran, is stunning not more humane? Why is that 80% of halal animals are stunned and unnaffected by your claim that stunning will end halal?

The petition also calls at the very least for mandatory post cut stunning as Sechita is apparently unchangeable in this matter. Noone is suggesting banning it, just that the animal is properly stunned beforehand.

your probably right it's not like he does not need the votes if he upsets a minority !

Is Rolf Harris the new face of KFC?

Couldn't resist it! My Hubby and I just had 9 pieces of chicken, two fries and a drink for £7.99. Bargain!!!!! Thanks OP

mmmm chicken saturated in fat and msg.

Comment

By saying "animals should be stunned prior to slaughter" MEANS that you're asking for an end to halal/kosher slaughter as the condition is that the animal must not be dead prior to the slaughter

gawd knows what they're putting in KFC these days, last time, made me teeth stick together

Heaven in a bucket lol

I suspect you're right. "Democracy".............................................?

No matter how cheap it is I would never buy it. World full of obese people

It will now be considered for debate by the Backbench Business Committee but the PM already stated last year he will not change anything and DEFRA aren't bothered so I can't imagine it will help.

There's an e-petition HERE which is calling for an end non-stun slaughter to promote animal welfare. It has gathered the required 100,000 signatures in just a few days but further support, should anybody wish to give it, will no doubt be welcome.

This mustn't be confused as calling for an end to halal/kosher slaughtered food - merely that all animals must be stunned prior to death.

Love the stuff so heat added doesn't saying anything about the price on the link

any way of getting KFC delivered? Found this but have no idea if they are trustworthy https://just-fastfood.com/

No, Religious practices and beliefs on this matter shouldn't be respected. We shouldn't respect centuries old books written by man, not gods, that have been edited, misinterpreted, and written in times when people could have no possible way of determining slitting an animal's throat offers less pain the more modern methods available. You see, there's the key, 'today', thousands of years later billions of people on this planet are governed by books written thousands of years ago, picking and choosing what they will and wont follow out of them.

I don't want to eat Halal meat, I don't want a minority who are led by an ancient 'novel' which is now completely out of context and irrelevant to the world today, to dictate how animals should be slaughtered. The majority of British citizens, I am undoubtedly sure of, do not want to eat Halal as they are not Muslim and do not wish to see animals suffer unneccessarily.

This government needs to grow some balls and stop religion from dictating how things are.

And no, I'm not a member of the EDL, I'm an Agnostic who is sick of religion holding a trump card, its ultimately idiocy prevailing over common sense and progression, something that religion doesn't have.

Again, people getting funny about the way the animal, which they are eating (which died, purely for their own enjoyment), who don't give a damn about how it LIVES, get all funny about how it DIES. How about you fight for the years of living conditions in which the animal is alive (which will be far more traumatic), than it's last few seconds of life?

will tag this for next tuesday if offer is still available.

I'm baffled. People here are having a debate about how inhumanely all chickens are treated and slaughtered, regardless of halal/non-halal, and yet it's somehow become one of the hottest deals of the month.

For a single KFC meal. Once a week.

Seriously, guys?

Home with 18 pieces of chicken large fries and a bottle of diet coke (watching my weight) Bargain....

HERE is a link that adequately sums up the life of a chicken bred for both eating (Broiler chickens) and egg laying. There are many more links and masses of information if one can be bothered to look.

It's a US based article, but the situation is barely any different in the UK.

And many people feel free range is much nicer - often that is not the case. Link HERE on free range chickens.

Don't ask me, ask hallidayresnick3

I am aware of and agree with all that. Just wondering where halliday got their "halal is healthier" claim.

Slaughter without pre-stunning (for religious purposes)

We are opposed to the slaughter of any animal without first ensuring it is rendered insensible to pain and distress.


We recognise that religious beliefs and practices should be respected. However, we also believe animals should be slaughtered under the most humane conditions possible. Evidence clearly indicates that slaughter without pre-stunning can cause unnecessary suffering.

http://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/farm/slaughter/religiousslaughter

The Farm Animal Welfare Council (now Committee) (FAWC) report on the ‘Welfare of Farmed Animals at Slaughter or Killing’ June 2003 concluded:

The level of restraint of conscious animals required for slaughter without pre-stunning was far greater than for conventional slaughter.

A large cut made across the neck of a conscious animal would “result in very significant pain and distress” before the animal loses consciousness (around 5 to 7 seconds for sheep, 22 to 40 seconds for adult cattle).

“Slaughter without pre-stunning is unacceptable and that the Government should repeal the current exemption”. Until then any animal not stunned before slaughter should receive an immediate post-cut stun

That just for beginning

Thanks OP

You have a link to this allegation?

without farming the chicken wouldn't have a life in the first place. and the few that do in their natural habitat don't have a life that most people imagine or lifespan

bought eaten and enjoyed so much :smiley:

Just finished eating and it was well worth it!! specified which pieces I wanted, got 2 x XL fries for £1.99 and 8 wings for £3!

Not for anything as far as I know. A link or source is needed for halliday's claim.

Chemical chickens

not for chicken :wink:

Halal or kosher or not what's the difference? Morally there is no difference whatsoever. The animals all suffer and die in the same violent manner give or take a few minor details so please don't try and pretend to be morally superior to the Jew or the Muslim. If you claim to care about animals then put your money where your mouth is and stop paying people to murder them and stop eating them. It's a sad day when toxic muck like this masquerading as food is voted hottest deal of the day.

Is a good deal and is available locally Hastings... And for £2 you can choose 2 x xl chips/Pepsi/ beans etc.... Not a bad deal at all and got 8 breasts... Could not even make 8 breast pieces for £5.99 including fuel cooking costs etc,., no idea why you are all folding this... Strange site

Is this 'proper' chicken? Ie pieces of chicken breasts covered with breadcrumbs? Never had anything from kfc other than their popcorn chicken and fries so curious to try this deal if it is!

ta :man:

at our local kfc (mk) you only get 7 pieces of chicken as all our orders have been short then they ask for your receipt which they never give you

I prefer a slice of pork haslet

How about buying a couple of buckets and freezing it.
Or is this not a good idea?

Tasty & should be on everyone's daily diet... especially as it has just been announced that the Rubbish, Fat, Grease, High Sugar & High Salt content foods, that we all stopped eating 20 years back... are now actually good for us all! :smile:

disgusted... went to my local shop and was told that the offer was for Non-Halal stores only... disgraceful

have some heat

This is so depressing that a small percentage of a population with incredibly primitive belief's that have no connection with reality can dictate the type of slaughtering for a whole population despite the majority surely being against this cruelty. Morality first then religion. If this is unacceptable to jewish and muslim people then they can surely move to a country where it is allowed. We need to be improving welfare for animals not going backwards.

There isn't a single fact that supports these religious views yet the evidence we evolved is compelling and is clearly available in genetics, the fossil record and looking out into space. Nature is a relentless pattern of repeated consumption and trying to add a god into this is utterly ridiculous. Somehow people that clearly can not deal with reality and reject it should be influencing our choices of morality?

"Chicken" hahahaha

Could anyone that has bought the deal please confirm whether they're proper pieces, or wings in there?

Thanks OP. Bought and munching right now.

They used to be tastier and bigger a few years back, but KFC IS KFC!!!

I'd tell what i think but would probably get banned

Is there a way of finding out, from home, if your local KFC does this deal?

I could do with a bit of bargain Colonel tonight...

Always makes me laugh when people claim "they pay their taxes". How do you know? I suspect there's a very good chance that most international companies probably avoid as much tax in the UK as they can, be it Amazon, Starbucks, Rakuten, Apple, KFC, McDonalds, Microsoft or whoever, through very similar avoidance or 'transfer-pricing' schemes - very complicated schemes to make transactions via numerous subsidiaries, parent companies and overseas/offshore entities which are so complex that it can be impossible to unravel. They don't pay their accountants vast sums for nothing!

One example - they can pay their supplier £10 for each pack of 6 chicken drumsticks. Result - making a loss and pay no tax (In fact probably claiming tax refunds such as VAT). How does that work? Well, quite simply actually - their "supplier" is actually a subsidiary based somewhere like Luxembourg, or Switzerland, and they charge them £10 for 6 drumsticks. But they actually buy them for 50p for 6. So they're the business making all the profit as they're buying for 50p and selling for £10, but they're not based in the UK so pay no UK tax. They may pay tax in the country in which they are based, but often such arrangements are made precisely because those offshore locations charge little to no tax on profits, or give significant incentives to companies to base their operations there. Think about it - how on earth do these small tax havens survive, as they generally have no industries
other than being a haven for tax dodgers. The profits are then channelled back to the real owners by way of complex and very convoluted transactions or "loans" to hide their real nature.

Same for Ireland with them offering such a ridiculous low rate of corporation tax - a third or quarter of most other EU countries, meaning it's hard for other countries to attract big businesses as their tax rates are so high compared. How many international companies would choose to be based in Ireland? It's very impractical due to logistics and somewhere in mainland Europe (Germany for instance) would make much more sense. So ordinarily Ireland would not get much corporation tax from such multi-national companies if their standard rate was around 30% like most other EU countries - but a stupidly low rate of say 6% (or whatever it is) means they attract a lot of international companies and corporations that wouldn't be there otherwise - 6% of X is far more than 30% of naff all!

That aside, as with other fast food restaurants (McDonalds, Burger King, Pizzahut etc.), a large number of restaurants are franchises - in the case of KFC, 75% of their restaurants are franchised. This means they're owned and operated by individuals, partnerships or small limited companies. You know, the guy that lives round the corner.

Then it is a case of whether they pay their taxes or not - no different to whether or not the plumber, builder, painter & decorator or gardener opposite pays, or doesn't pay, their taxes.

Some of the highest rates of tax evasion exists in the restaurant/fast food industry where 50% of profits or more can routinely be 'hidden' or not declared. The main reason being it's largely a 'cash' trade - easy to hide cash, whereas payments by card leave a paper trail and are traceable.

winner winner, chicken dinner ;;; ) Diet plan amended for next Tuesday :wink:

You an expert? I can bet a tenner that you've eaten halal in your life knowingly so save it.

Yum! KFC is delicious once in a while.

If you want halal, go abroad. Thanks.

only a little bit racist :s

Lol... Ppl talking about not going to the halal kfc... What's the difference!! Regardless how it is killed, you're still eating it! If you care sooooo much how it's killed then why don't you become a vegi!!

I wouldnt feed it to my dog or my kids, but I would feed it to my chickens.

KFC chicken is the best tasting. I could eat it three times a day if I could.. I once ate a 12-piece bucket by myself..

Have some heat..

Is it just wings or do they include breast and leg pieces?

Heat ordered with 2 x fries £7.97 bargain and they gave me ten bits of chicken !

Not for me, but I guess a good deal for those who like this grease drenched stuff.

What a bizarre number. Can't share 9 pieces between two, so would have to be three of you. But then you'd probably get sides which would bring it to £8 which you can't split between three people.

This offer is not valid in the halal KFC shops. High Wycombe KFC in retail park not valid but valid in the town centre one. Still great offer for those that can eat. Heat added. Just paid £7.90 for 8 piece of halal KFC.

Are they proper pieces or stacked up with wings?

The reason why I stopped going to KFC was because of their newer crispy fries are S*** now I'll grab my 9 pieces later & some chips from the chippy! SORTED!

Offer not at my local in leeds

I really can't see this working if your mate "gets hammered and eats like a monster", but it sounds like a fun diet if nothing else!

is this offer across all kfc restaurants ?

What's ridiculous is the government and retailers claiming all meat is slaughtered strictly in accordance with animal welfare laws, as is the claim that halal meat is "blessed" at the point of slaughter.

I agree that many muslims are probably being duped for the reasons you mention - there's masses of evidence showing cruel treatment in abattoirs. But maybe a large number of muslims don't get their food/meat from the big supermarkets, but rather local halal butchers that they can probably trust - they probably don't trust the source of meat claimed to be halal any more than non-muslims would trust the source of meat to be non-halal!

And one should also look at the sums involved - it's estimated some 20 MILLION animals are slaughtered in the UK every DAY - how on earth can that many animals be slaughtered properly to minimise any suffering, let alone allow time for somebody to recite a religious prayer before each such animal is slaughtered?

I disagree strongly with both halal and kosher method of slaughter, but it is not for me to decide whether it's allowed to continue - that decision lies with the government. But I do believe I should have a choice to make an informed decision as to what I buy and eat - that decision also lies with the government. It seems they're not prepared to change either.

863 heat? In less than 4 hours?

Hottest deal of the day, really?

I despair at this site sometimes.

i was just told that the halal kfcs dont do this offer - is that correct?

I got all the spices in the cupboard and threw them in a bucket!

This is my chicken! My chicken! My chicken! My chicken! My chicken! My chicken! My chicken! My chicken!

(Shirley Ghostman)

Mannn I'm on a diet but i do love me some kfc x

Meh. Doubt the chickens care that much about the taxes.

Yummers... Have some heat...

Oh my my.... what am I getting myself into.. I promised myself that I won't get into the religious slaughter debate again, and here I am. :-O

Just got mine. It doesn't come with anything else, but for extra £2 you get two sides. It's ok deal i guess. Nothing to cream over unless you got the online survey discount on top of it

Completely agree!

Not sure if people know (or care), only UKIP has a policy to get the meat producers to label the meat correctly, none of the big parties do!

Comment

Halal chicken doesn't "taste" different. It's just a method of slaughtering which makes it halal or non halal. Get your facts straight
Also, many mainstream supermarkets and restaurants sell "halal" chicken without publicising it maybe because they're not bothered to do so. Latest research shows that the "halal" method of slaughtering is healthier

MMMMM KFC chicken. I fancy the colonel

This is national had it today and is gonna be my lunch every Tuesday now :smiley:

Where is my nearest one?

2 side s are an extra 1.99

See my posts above - there's a good chance you're still eating halal.

The fact this is voted as hot is a reminder of what a bunch of sad people we are.

this is only valid on Tuesdays :smiley:

do the maths!!!!! some people.

I agree it is probable. both my local stores in Halifax are Halal anyway.

I think it very likely that all KFCs sell halal chicken, just that those stores denoted as halal don't serve any non-halal items (such as the Big Daddy you mention), hence why it's classed as "halal". Those that are not denoted as halal do sell non-halal products, but there's also a very good chance that their other items are halal.

So to sum up, if your local KFC isn't on their list of halal stores, it doesn't mean they're not selling halal food.

Nice

best fast chicken thats not f* halal or is it now?

No big daddy (it has bacon) at Halal branches, that's the only difference.

Haha my thoughts exactly!!!

Don't eat it myself but seems a very good price

If you are in the forces, or veteran with defence discount scheme card you also get 10% off this price

Boneless or on the bone chicken?

Yuk!! all skin & bones, we need chicken fillets we do

Anyone know if it's on in Scotland x

If I go hungry all day think I could manage 6 pieces in 1 go for dinner. Thanks op.

it's on in Hammersmith London love the chicken

Big banner just gone up near ourlocal for this q few days ago , did think it sounds reasonable. Might give it a try next week, save me cooking, half term an all.

Doh! Spent 6p more than this on a very boring sandwich and soup for lunch!

Check your local store first as this is not in every store...
In Liverpool the Edge Lane Store is not incuded because they are Halal the manager stated !

Kant Feckin Cook

i am appalled i was not aware of this. KFC head of marketing needs letting go.

Fryer not switched on?

Not on all stores

Got this pic last night - details the sides available (2 large sides for £2, XL fries and a drink bottle count as sides):
http://imgur.com/e8fCjpp

Can add two sides for £2

Saw this adverstised in my local KFC and had this deal for lunch today with my son :sunglasses: awesome deal IMO .... plenty left over for the evening ......

10 pieces are normally £13.09 with 4 fries. Not a bad deal in my eyes!

Make sure you put it in the oven when you go home and cook it properly

Will check my local Birmingham Perry Barr branch and update

this has been on for nearly a year at my local KFC, also not all participate. It used to be 10 boneless fillets

Yes it is a national deal

anyone know if this is national?

Why is this cold? What price is it normally?
