I've altered your missed opportunity.

Heat, I like anything Zinger from KFC.

Not really a fan of fries?!! That's just crazy talk!

There goes my diet again :smiley:

​Yes i got told same in London as well. This deal is finished.

The branch in Birmingham City Centre (the one that was found to have traces of faeces on their ice) told me today that they no longer do them as it was a limited edition product that has now ended. :disappointed: Is that true nationally. Can you still get them in your local KFC?

Yuk!

True but I don't think there is a marmite world

Well I know someone who doesn't like Marmite.

That's nothing I know someone who doesn't like CHOCOLATE !!

Soggy fries every time from Trowbridge KFC. These are just soggy fried with salty paprika.

KFC in Thailand do a chilli sauce dispenser, do they do that in the UK?

Had this as part of the Zinger Bonless Banquet last night.

Chips were dusted post-boxing, I assume, as I had takeaway and dumped everything onto a plate when I got home.
Soggy, certainly, but you don't notice when you also cover them in gravy.

The Zinger fillets were tremendous - even if they didn't look too 'Zingery' before eating. However KFC only do water or Tropicana (adding 40p for a wee bottle!) as non-fizzy drink options (no milk!) which is a bit crap.

I bet he would have some words to say about this...... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFmxd9L1btyXig-2Dp9XnA

(Realised I should add some background in case nobody is clued up on the chicken and chips reviewing nonsense)

Thought these were awful. Just normal chips with a coating of fiery powder. Take normal chips any day.

They should stick to the hot wings only.

this isnt a deal at all , its pure cruelty , kfc doesn't open for another 8 hours and im starving

Can u get these as part of a burger meal ?

​Same here,not very impressed.

They taste exactly the same as the cajan fries from Five Guys, they've even nailed the heart stopping salt content. If you like things really really salty then these are for you :wink:

New zinger fries, what a JOKE! Should call them limp fries with some red colouring. Wont be getting these again!

I tried them the other day and to be honest they aren't great. I found them to be more salty rather than spicy or have a zinger taste.
I wouldn't order them again.

Their regular fries are horrendous the worst i've tasted of any fast food joint.
I'm convinced our local KFC microwave them they are so stodgy you almost choke on them.
Hope these new ones are better as i like the chicken now and again.

Had them yesterday. Thought they were fairly decent, nothing special. First time I been in KFC for years.

Had the meal the other day which was a bit of a let down to be honest, back to my Mighty Bucket For One in the future! Or Big Daddy if I'm feeling in a burger mood...

Hows the degree HM is providing for you ? I don't frequent public houses it's a proven fact the controlled chemical in them refreshments cause brain damage, but you knew that already (or did you ?)

The thing about being a boy is they used to give your lot free rail travel, that was not just when serving was men but gentlemen - lost your class & thus free rail pass. There was a time being from a housing estate did not define one, esp military personnel.

(I would know such as I am from a multi generation of multi service gentlemen, RAF, RN, RR - while you are mincing about with guns my father was building the U.K's first nuclear subs :wink: )

No gain, no train. At least you have sausage on tap, aswell as dementia juice. Life's a fiddler, fate's a dance.

:smiley:

Heat!

had them yesterday. snackbox to the brim wih them a very liberally coated. vry tasty. never have soggy fries from any of the 3 kfc around me although the Harlow one on Edinburgh Way often gives me the scabbiest bits of chicken in my mighty bucket for one compared to whT my wife gets.

Awesome, Bury store (BL9) has them for 99p. However, trypical effort from the Bury store... may aswell have just ordered standard fries.

Never had soggy fries from KFC in our area. :confused:

​They are put in one of the snackbox boxes.

Had these today, thought they were pretty good. You could also add 2 x zinger mini fillets for £1.79.

two infants perhaps! They taste alright though!

Tried today. Basically regularly fries with slightly saltier salt than the regular salt they use. Overhyped.

They are called hot wings

I also had an uncle that would treat me :man:

OMG my local messes up EVERY SINGLE ORDER too! Drives me nuts! Unbelievable track record! LOL.

Given that almost every KFC restaurant near me has a 0 food hygiene rating, you couldn't pay me to eat these!

Why don't KFC do spicy chicken as well as original like every other country.

Don't know why ppl having different experiences as mine came in same box as used in snack box and it was full box
Spice wise was bit too much may be for most ppl but I did like them

Had my first KFC in years 'cos of this deal.
Delicious fries - would recommend to eat in, as they went a bit soggy in a bag in a bag to go
Hot deal!

just had these..what a fickin licken let down. 1 bit of powder over 4 soggy fries, no flavour don't waste your hard earned cash.

Went into a KFC in Cardiff and they didn't know anything about it although it was on the radio and plastered everywhere. After a look on their till they decided it could be done but seemed quite unhappy about it.

Don't even get me started on the free coffee saga :neutral_face:

Partner in the Liverpool city centre branch was just told just before not sold singular but part of a £6 meal???

I have tried them yesterday. It was normal fries with cayenne pepper and salt ( Zinger ). good price. good quantity. quality okish.

I have tried them yesterday. It was normal fries with cayenne pepper and salt ( Zinger ). good price. good quantity. quality okish.

Tried one today massive size and same as nandos peri peri chips
Heat from me

If anyone is in the vicinity of the Lozells district of Birmingham then try a little takeaway called Shazans. They do "chilli fries". It's a large portion of fries taken out of the deep fryer then quickly cooked in a wok with a dab of vindaloo sauce and a pinch of red chilli powder. Every frie is fully coated in this red lava and after a few mouthfuls the top of your head feels like a volcano.
Alternatively if you can't travel that far I've given you the recipe now get cooking.

Had them earlier. Wasn't impressed. A bunch of fries chucked in a box - not like the photo ofcourse, with some lame paprika sprinkled over them at the end - or sprinkled over a couple of them I should say. Not hot. Not impressive.

Thats google for ya

Don't usually do social but these are just too disappointing that i had to leave this comment. KFC marketing dept (if you see this) take note:

These are normal fries with some seasoning dashed on top. There is no need to charge 99p extra on top of a meal to upgrade the fries (especially when a separate large portion is 99p). Unless there's gold dust in the seasoning: just put it in a little bag and offer it for a (very) small charge.

Side note: maybe stop giving every customer 20 sachets of salt with every order.

Stop cluckin around

Chicken cottage chilli fries are a lot better, even the chicken, bite into a kfc for a mouthful of oil

they aren't very nice

Had the zinger version of the boneless banquet ... was awesome

Taco Bell fries are currently my favourite, though some Pakistani Chicken shop's do good fries with the option of that special "Halal Red Salt Chip Seasoning". KFC fries have improved at my local, now much crispier and fresh. Burger King fries can be good if your near one and they are fresh, to be fair Maccy's fries are nice when they are on form.

Had it today , it's literally the normal fries with peri salt !

I had some yesterday. Portion wise, just a bit more than their regular. Lady jsut got the same fries from the same place as the regular fires and added spicy powder to it. Quite hot, but nothing really special, my Favourite Chicken does better fries.

Your whitebalance is off.

Had these today - Total Disappointment. Like someone said earlier they are like Nando's - just a portion of chips with some spicy powder splinkled ontop of them. I was expecting too much I guess. Good value for 99p though I have to say, they filled the box as they are in a 'Snackbox' style pack.

Really nice tried them today! A big box enuff to fill 2 people with loads of spice similar to nandos peri peri! 99p you cant go wrong! Thanks op

Tried some today, they're basically fries with a paprika topping. I'm not a big fan since they changed the chips to fries but they actually taste really nice with the paprika on them. As for the size it's just a large fries in a box, most likely due to then having to sprinkle the paprika/chili on them.

Recommended

Had them and was not impressed, would get them over regular fries by the taste isn't very strong and they are liberal wyh the seasoning unlike the picture.

fries with zinger seasoning sprinkled over them just had them they are very hot! lips are burning i think they put too much on

I got these today. What a load of crap. A normal portion of their terrible fries, with a sprinkling of salt a bit similar to Nandos Peri Peri salt. The fact the chips were a soggy mess didnt help matters.

am these just spicy fries?

Ordered a 99p box of Zinger fries
Recieved small plain fries

#BREXIT

Does anyone know whether this in in every KFC?

I am going near the Manchester Arndale branch later so hoping they have had a few people order these already because I don't have time to explain it up a staff member. I have had enough trouble with the colonel club at the Oldham branch

It's a normal 'large' portion of fries. I think their problem is they then empty it out into a box which makes it look like a smaller portion. I was happy with my portion size, it's not like their giving you fewer fries because it's Zinger.

Know where I am going later :sunglasses:

Wouldn't say this is amazing tbh, had it yesterday. They wouldn't sell the chips on it's own but as others have said the size of the portion is much smaller than shown in the image. It was nice but meh stingy with the spices!

amazing deal! still think joining the kfc colonels club is a cry for help though. :smirk:

Just reading his posts... I mean it could be very wrong. I know that:

1) He's a southerner
2) He likes cricket and football
3) He's super-super right wing (to the point where you question if someone can actually be that far right and not be locked up)
4) He said at one point he's either retired or near retirement age

I found the guys Twitter account too, it has been suspended, so clearly HUKD isn't the only place the guy trolls.

You may not be either of those but you are a person with a lack of understanding and intelligence that say's stupid things to appear to be correct and have an understanding.
Too many of your sort leaning on the bar in a pub.

How do you know he's a fat old man ? Or even a he ?

No thanks, I'm not going back in there again. I've got a personal troll following me around this site and he followed me in there.

Worst thing about it? It's a fat old man!

Read the Sky Broadband thread, some Sky staff member was saying to a customer who called to cancel Sky had bills to pay too so they HAD to increase prices! How sad is that person.

They look exactly like the ones I got. Very meh.

I'm not a weed smoking teenager but I'm no pensioner either :laughing:

Rationing = legal black market, of course it cost more - typical BBC!

That might be the saddest thing I've ever seen on HUKD.

A BBC program did a comparison with Fish & Chip prices compared to the 50's and found that with inflation and the portion sizes given that Fish & Chip prices today cost less.
Portion sizes in the 50's were regulated due to rationing.

So cute! x

Be thankful, my local chippy is £1.60 for the same, I'm old enough to remember when fish n chips were cheap treats, now its a hours minimum wage after tax, or before tax depending on the chippy :laughing:

Couldn't say.
Love spicy avocado though, slice and sprinkle, eat :smiley:

Well at least things have improved, still dextrose is a sugar rush, no wonder between salt and sugar Brits love a Macca fries portion lol

Dextrose:
http://www.healthline.com/health/dextrose#Overview1

To the people who find 'Zinger' stuff hot, do you also find avacado spicy?

Be grateful it wasn't just a single chip instead of 3

Article 2 years old and About fries in USA, not the UK. Definitely vegetarian here. Official current UK ingrediants: (http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/product_nutrition.sides.44.mcdonalds-fries.html) Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Rapeseed), Dextrose (predominantly added at beginning of the potato season).
Prepared in the restaurants using a non-hydrogenated vegetable oil.
Salt is added after cooking.

gonna have to give these potato treat sticks a try... they limited edition? hope not as I'm away for a couple of weeks. being desperately lonely/single, trivial spicy potato stick related things are of importance in my life.

....The hell are these catfish shenanigans.

Expected a reasonable portion of seasoned (inside and out) crispy fries to along with my chicken from Tesco.

99p gets you 1/3 of a snackbox. Just regular fries with a bit of chip spice.

2000 degrees for a bag of chips - ridiculous. now i know the make up of this community

I do not partake in teenage recreations :laughing:

Not me, I said sausage.

I'll have a few grams of what you are smoking if the price is right. Who mentioned sausages?

We don't all have thrice cooked sausage and a munchie side of chips. :laughing:



Much prefer M&S sausage myself :wink: the Beef & Pepper are allergen free and make a great stew even on a barbie. £3.20 or 2 for a £5, also great with mashed tatties - just thrown in one sweet tattie and a bit of spice when mashing. Nom nom.

Hasn't anybody heard of thrice cooked chips before? What a revelation.

Someone who just wants fries for 99p...

Tried these today, just after a 6 mile run in the rain (needed cheering up) - waste of time. A bit of powder sloppily thrown over their awful fries...

It is available on KFC website - 99p :laughing:

"we dont have anywhere near the amount" INGREDIENTS? keep up the reassurance! :laughing:

thats in the US, we dont have anywhere near that amount of ingredients in Mc-Fries here in the UK

are these just spicy fries?

Went into KFC this evening orders £20 of food asked to order this sorry no only if you have a colonel club card ok here ... it is ... so this offer is not available for you ..

Shall we scare the living poo out them all ? :laughing:

Enjoy yer Zingers n Maccas papa's :laughing::laughing::laughing:

So what exactly is it, just chilli or has it got other stuff in it too?

I tried kfc hot wings they were ok but not hot, just garlic and herb flavour

wow no kfc haters, yay for fries

Hear Here.

takeaway nonsense...but i agree, order the sides fresh..

Tried today very nice

there goes everyone's diet, 5 allergens in a chip...JUNK

Colonel Sanders :laughing:

Erm I probably won't do that it's just that exact example could be the worst of the bunch - I see your point though :wink:

i absolutley love the zinger tower boxed meal but the chips today were just plain awful. Compare them to Nandos piri piri fries...thats what kfc need to aim for with their zinger fries and their onto something special.

Alternatively you could ask - you know, to avoid looking like a total **** and all that...:neutral_face:

You do know I got a PM warning for breaking the site code of conduct for doing something equally innocuous one time......

1 rule for some and all that. :smirk:

never mind lol

Replace it with the image in post #113 ? Nothing personal OP, I rate and prefer KFC above the competition and appreciate the heads up.


Aye, that doesn't look like a 1726 degrees HEAT deal to me for 99p.

Bloke called Sanders, said he was a L/Cpl.

haha - Probably a poor choice of words in my previous post, I'm well aware ALL food places photos are done to utter perfection and dont look like what you get over the counter (i know, i had people in the branch of dominoes i worked in part time back in the day - it took the food stylist about 2-3 hours per pizza to get a perfect looking pizza for the menus).

My main point is that there is NOWHERE NEAR the amount of spice that would even be considered ''reasonable'' by any standards. Opened the box today and was like WTF.

See for yourself...



literally 7 chips with spice on them, the rest are all plain.

UTTER TRASH.

wait what! fast food didnt look like the photo?

well... im ... just.... gobsmacked

everytime i get a zinger tower burger it always looks like this:



and nothing like this:

Verdict: They're very nice. Much better than normal chips. Taste very similar to Hull chip spice just with a little heat.

Oddly tho I wasn't allowed to have them with a meal, I could only buy them separate (West Hull).

Happy and positive as usual :smiley:

Can I please ask who served u at eltham? I work there, and I have been serving them today.

Tried today and they look NOTHING like in the photo. The ''zinger'' chips they gave me today were 98% normal chips with no spice on them what-so-ever.

It looked like someone had taken a tiny tiny sprinkle of paprika dust and sprinkled the tiniest bit over about 3 chips.

Get the meal then, who goes to KFC just to get fries

KFC Lowestoft not letting me have the chip unless I get them with the set zinger meal :-(

Just had these.. Tastes ok.. bit like paprika sprinkled on.. can taste bit too salty though.

Got Zinger Fries and 2 Free Wings for 99p so can't complain

Defo a good deal

There never looking like that anyone got a picture of the box of fries

Save 10% with at KFC just show your Defence Discount Card

went to ask for this at the eltham local and staff hadn't even heard of it

Zinger fries. What a day to be alive.

I guess it's because in the logo they have a guy which you could frankly call an uncle.

Had it today for 99p along with the free coffee, the large box doesn't equally mean the large portion to be honest as it was pretty much half empty, but they were nice so can't argue at 99p.

Still don't get it. Did your uncle look like colonel sanders? Or is it some sort of euphemism?

One large portion is:
455CALORIES
6.2g Protein
21.4g Fat
62.3g Carbs

F.ucke.d up macros, but might as well, cutting season coming up.

Hey there ain't anything like pressure cooked in oil cheapo chicken...
And you won't put a pound on if you try this. https://grahamcreative.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/image007.jpg

When they do zinger wings and zinger gravy, I can die happy.
And hot wings don't the same spice used as a Zinger.
Seemed like a more logical step before Zinger fries.

and a zinger boneless banquet :confused: im on my wayyyy !

ohhh myy i need these

Decent but only 1/3 the box gets coated

People are voting hot for the deal, not the picture. Everyone knows it's not going to be a box of standing fries. It's large fries for 99p, your box wont be bursting but it's still a good deal.

Hahah true....

What should I edit it to :confused: ????

Nice flavour. Stingy lips but soggy as others say. Worth 99p. Large portion

I love a Zinger Burger but the only thing is that the nearest KFC has a terrible reputation!

A mod should be editing the deal image picture. That is totally misleading, people will see that then vote HOT in an instant.

So do these actually taste nice ? As there seems to be a lot of people voting hot and then going onto say they can't wait to try them.

Bit like the deal for the Burger King nuggets that everyone voted hot and then most people said they tasted disgusting after actually trying them.

I had these today its large box chips with shake of zinger powder. 99p

Take pics of it who ever gets this

I did when I went. Wanted to charge £1.59 for large. Showed them the website then after a while they did it for 99p. Surely all stores should have gotten the memo...

Nope.

Nope, I also think they're awful, but can't knock the deal though. Normally 99p for regular but 99p for large (basically twice regular size at KFC) is great.

zingerzingaaah

Anyone else had this?

well that's wrong since it says clearly on the website its large zinger fries for 99p. id argue the point.

Wonder if they have considered Zinger soft drinks to go with the burger and fries?

got them today. the 99p is for for regular (small) fries, and they charge 10p for one "shake" of the chilli powder

Depends on who does it. Mine were all covered (though needs a shake to spread it better). However, they tried charging £1.59 since they were large. Was in there for ages showing the website offer, then they didn't want to give me my Colonel Club free hot drink.

Anyone else noticed zinger burgers are hotter coming out then going in :confused:

Umm KFC pure heaven <3

They look nice, but is a large box really anywhere the size on the deal image?

​Oh so you made that up with your mates, you do realise you're not talking to your mate's on here :wink:

Zinger Fries.....**** genius

accept for when they dont cook the zinger tower properly and the burger is tuff in the middle(not cooked) but the sides are cooked,
put me off ever eating at kfc ever again

Why has my local closed down last week after being open for over 25 years? :stuck_out_tongue:

I sometimes wonder if some people have ever eaten a decent proper meal, and just frequent **** fast food outlets?
Going loopy over a few crap fries, ffs!

Looking at the heat given I think I'm correct.
Each to his own however, but no wonder it's fries burger and coke with everything adds up to fatties everywhere.

lol its what me and mates call it, nothing really to explain. Uncle Colonel innit :smile:

did someone just say "ZINGER FRIES!!!" :confused:

is this just spicy fries?

explain

Got mine (eventually) they could not find how to sell it on its own without a meal. They were then going to put through normal fried when lo and behold they found Zinger fries under the fries section. Who thought to put it there?! :smile:

Remember when KFC did chips. Those were the days. Nice thick chips. Now, I love fries too, but the KFC fries are so thin and crispy these days, that it's literally a race against time to eat them before they go cold. Bring back the chips.

No they've got a big air fryer.

You really have to question some people's willpower when they comment on these food threads with things like "well that's my New Year resolution over" or "that's me getting fat"... Really?! Some spicy fries from KFC is the end of it all?! :confused:

Do they fry the fries in the same oil as everything else i.e. Burgers etc ??

how many calories is this?

Hope these find their way over to Spain.

Heat added. Want!

Is that really how 'large' the portion is? Or is that picture from the American ad :laughing:

Uncle's=kfc

lol

Where is the direct debit form?

Just bought. Def not large in content. Plus the Zinger coating covered 7 Fries. They were hot to be fair though so grateful for that.

Take my money. NOW!

I've never in my life volunteered to go for KFC until I saw this

Oh my jeezus! I need these in my life today!!

I'm assuming they will be something like Nando's Peri-Peri chips. Looking forward to try them.

What do you mean going to? Has that happened already?

soggy fries firm

Cant complain at 99p for that many fries!

However, am I the only one who thinks KFC fries are awful? Can't imagine fries with a different seasoning being any less soggy.

​ :smile: you met your match

Do you really get the amount shown in the posts photo? If so great price as well as great idea :smiley:

TAKE MY MONEY. The best thing since Hot Rods. All I can say is they damn well better include it as an option in the Zinger box meal, even if it's 50p more or whatever - although I do already go all in to tower up and and go large...

KFC fries are so poor, hopefully these will slightly improve them

these sound friken amazing!!

KFC fries are usually awful but with this topping I was licking the box for more like a maniac. Delicious

These come under the category of "Sounds awful, must try them!" :smile:

I have done the 20% off code a few times...each time it asks "how easy was it to find what you were looking for on the menu" every time I have put it was Nye on impossible, yet everytime I go there is a new menu that is even harder to understand than the last.

Rarely go to KFC but this may tempt me!

​Wow thanks for that.

thats my new years resolution gone down the frikkin drain.

Great another on the menu for them to mess up. I'll end up with these instead of half a bag of normal and melt my face off.

I can't eat anything spicy but added heat as 99p buys nought these days, so a large box of fries deserves some heat :innocent:

zing me Baby one more time

I wonder if they taste like the Nando's spicy chips :man:

I had some of these earlier today, best to note that they officially only come by themself for 99p or included in the new Zinger Boneless Banquet. There's no way to upgrade any other meal etc. (unless you get a nice/new server to do it if you ask nicely)

:smiley::smile::wink::smirk::stuck_out_tongue: Now I'm gona get fat
:sunglasses::laughing::neutral_face::confused::innocent::man:

Not really a fan of fries (especially spicy/flavored ones).

Am annoyed that they have stopped doing the extra hot Zinger burger now though. :disappointed:

Da shizz!! I just about managed to get a zinger tower meal before the store closed within 5 freaking mins.

I thought I heard them mention zinger chips but I dismissed it thinking "nonsense"

I feel cheated

how the feck have these only just been invented! :confused:

looks like ill be paying Uncle's a visit tomorrow :smile:

There goes my diet again :smiley:

zinger fries and a zinger tower, sounds like a good combo

I've altered your missed opportunity.

heat as I love anything zinger from there

Ahhhh myyyyy gerrrrdddd!!!! :confused:

nice find op, heat added

Hot..

like salt n chilli chips

Sweeet gotta try these

Heat, I like anything Zinger from KFC.
