KFC, the company that sometimes wants to be known as Kentucky Fried Chicken and sometimes would rather you just forget that, is offering a holiday “penny-per-calorie” promotion for its grilled combo.
Called the Kentucky Grilled Chicken combo, but never referred to as the KGC because it sounds too much like a secret Soviet agency, it contains a drumstick, thigh, green beans and mashed potatoes — with gravy! — and sells for one cent per calorie, or a surprising $3.95. (Interesting how the calorie count comes to exactly the 95-cent mark; you’d think it might be $3.96 or something if it were an exact count, but I’m just being skeptical — and I’m sure the gravy is ladeled out to the precise penny count.)
Anyway, you can find the deal at participating KFC restaurants — there are 15,000 of them in 109 countries and territories (but not the former Soviet Union).
The Colonel is not extending this promotion to its other products. Good thing: I don’t think anyone would want to pay $23.80 for a bucket of extra crispy.
