There are so many urban myths (or truths if you choose) about the origin of KFC chicken. Everything from headless chickens to genetic mutation has been speculated. Seems everyone is getting a kick out of the latest KFC commercial which says, “What part of the chicken is nugget? We’re KFC. Our cooks don’t make nuggets. They make Popcorn Chicken.”
Seems there’s some concern over the definition of a nugget versus the definition of popcorn chicken. Though KFC’s definition of popcorn chicken is quite clear: “100 percent off the bone premium breast meat” which is claimed to be better than “pressed, formed nuggets.”
Of course, if one wanted to be a stickler for detail, one could call attention to the fact the word “chicken” is no where to be found in KFC’s definition of popcorn chicken. Then again, that would just make one a person with way too much time on their hands.
