KFC Grilled Chicken

KFC has recently launched the new grilled chicken option to their menu. Since I am always looking for any excuse to go to KFC for one of the little parfait cups they sell, I figured trying the grilled chicken was as good an excuse as any.


Appearance-wise, I was not impressed. I had ordered a breast, and thanks to the miracle that is the drive-thru, I ended up with a wing (paging Joe Pesci). The overall appearance is best described as shriveled. Maybe I just got a wing that had been under the heat lamp a little too long. The specks of pepper in the seasoning stand out, and my wing was free of any grill marks (so I have no thoughts to if they appear real or "painted" on).


The meat was far more juicy then I was expecting from the appearance. The main flavor in the seasoning is pepper -- as I guessed from looking at it. I think there may also be some garlic or onion powder hiding in there as well. Honestly, it reminded me most of ramped-up supermarket rotisserie chicken. It's not great, it's not bad. I would like to try it again with a part I actually ordered...

Milka Alpine Milk Chocolate Cream

I don't get to review Milka products as often as I would like...

And darned if I don't end up drooling on my keyboard way to often when Jim posts his many Milka reviews (in fact, he reviewed this bar HERE). Every now and then, though, my local German deli gets a new load of Milka bars in (and WHY does it only seem to be the Happy Cow bars?), so I search hoping for something new to me. I got lucky on my last visit and scored 3 different bars.


The Alpine Milk Chocolate bar is a milk chocolate bar that has a layer of chocolate cream smooshed in between the solid chocolate top and bottom. The bar is very light in color and has a very sweet, very dairy aroma.


The bar is so sweet it almost has an outright sugary taste. At first it's almost too sweet, but as you eat more of the bar it becomes less so and more milky. The melt is excellent. Very smooth, to the point that it's silky.

The chocolate creme layer is kind of a letdown. Maybe I just have this image in my mind from the wrapper, but it did remind me of chocolate Cool Whip. I do not consider that a good thing. There is a sour aftertaste. Unlike how eating more of the bar made it less sweet, eating more did not make it less sour.

It wasn't a bad bar, it just wasn't a good bar either.
