  • Kentucky Fried Chicken has been around since 1952, so it might come as a surprise to you that the ubiquitous fast-food chicken chain has only been selling chicken pot pies since 1995. And they only became available at all KFC locations since 2012. It seems like they've been there forever, doesn't it?
    Part of that, of course, is marketing. KFC has hit the nostalgia button hard with its pot pie advertising, touting the menu item as old-fashioned comfort food. On top of that, they're also now essentially a KFC staple, as popular as anything else on the menu. If you're a fan, you may have wondered what exactly goes into KFC's pot pies, and one purported employee claims to have the answer. Yes, this employee video shows how KFC pot pies are really made.

    I used to buy KFC for my mother’s dinner a lot. She loved their chicken. One evening I decided to try the pot pie so took 2 home. We both loved them! I started buying more of the pot pies than the dinner boxes after that! I just get one pot pie these days and imagine Mom is here eating with me.

      Yasss... the crust. That is what brought me to this video. I'm searching for what is on the underside of the crispy crust, it's sooo freaking good. I can't even pinpoint what the flavor is but it helps make the whole pot pie.. I have to have some crust in every bite I take of chicken, carrots, etc. 😋

    Had a KFC potpie for the first time yesterday and I can say, it's probably one of the best potpie I've had for its price. You go to the grocery store nowadays and buy one frozen for the same price and it's not even as big and fresh. Good job KFC. 👏

    Every night when we were closing,my manager and I would de-bone all the left over chicken.that didn't sell that day and place it in the pot pie mix .
    The potpies are definitely the best tasting on the menu.

    Well the video was watched with apprehension. Luckily I was satisfied with the end results. I've been buying these pot pies for a few years and never got one that had questionable chicken or vegetables. The crust is always perfect. I reheat for a few minutes in the oven if I bring one home. These pies are light years ahead of those little round grey frozen pies in the freezer section of the supermarket. I consider those inedible. Not that's a horror story for a video in this channel. LoL

  • @h011yw00d
    @h011yw00d Před 2 lety +10

    I love pot pies in general but many youtube and online reviews say there is a serious lack of chicken. It's insane that a chicken joint would skimp on chicken (as seen in the video its leftover chicken). I don't mind leftover chicken but they should be filling it up with more chicken than that. Knowing that its powdered gravy, frozen veggies and day old chicken, the price should stay low.

    Be cautious when purchasing pot pies from KFC. I recently found a large bone in mine, which caught me off guard and almost caused me to choke to death. The bone was hidden within the filling, and I can't shake the image from my mind of all the times I've fed my 1.5-year-old daughter bites of that same filling because she enjoys it so much. I could have easily given her that bone. It angers me that a restaurant like KFC would leave something as hazardous as de-boning chicken in the hands of a young employee who may not be more 16 years old. I assumed the filling came pre-made and was just put into pie tins by the employees and then baked.

    If anybody thinks the way they debone the chicken and reuse it in pot pies if you've ever been to a buffet all the chicken soups or anything containing chicken is used from the night before baked chicken or fried chicken that was on the buffet they didn't show how they debone the chicken however in my experience I used to work at a buffet and they would take a big large bucket till it halfway with warm water submerged the chicken this helps and is very easy to remove the skin and the meat from the bone it's a common practice every buffet does the same thing guaranteed

    The flavor and spices are almost on point....needs a little more white pepper and salt. Pie filling needs more chicken (Last couple pies purchased had very little chicken) and what they contained was like having no chicken at all. Last is the crust to filling ratio.....Too much crust and that causes under cooked bottom crust. I had to purchase an extra drum stick and thigh to add when arriving home.
