| New KFC boneless meat |
(Scroll down for video) “I will eat KFC drumsticks every day because I believe that it might be knocked off the KFC menu soon and it will never come back,” Rachel Jones, 26, an avid KFC drumstick lover in Orlando, Florida told YourJewishNews.com.
First, Kentucky Fried Chicken reinvented itself under the name, KFC. Now, they are trying to please the masses with a new product, boneless, skinless white and dark meat available nationwide from next week.
Rick Maynard, a KFC spokesperson, told a television news station that the company is only adding to their menu and will not remove anything from it, for now.
"We will still have the original drumsticks, with the bones,” the spokesperson said.
KFC Corporation, based in Louisville, Kentucky and a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, has more than 17,000 KFC outlets in more than 115 countries and territories worldwide. The company said that more than 13 million people visit a KFC restaurant in the U.S. every week.
"We have never seen such a positive reaction to a test product," the U.S. president of KFC, John Cywinski, said. Extra crispy fans take note, because the company said that there are currently no plans to offer boneless meat in the original version.
KFC will air two 30-second commercials a week before the release of the food as part of their "I ate the bones!" Marketing campaign. The commercials were directed by David O. Russell of "Silver Linings Playbook" recently nominated for an Oscar for Best Director.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
