May 30 2005 -- Of Norse gods..
|
I was recently inspired by the great poet PatBoyX to have some form of chicken to eat. He said to me "I could really use some chicken wings" and from that day forth his words gave me reason to live. I carried those words with me everywhere I went and knew that one day I would indeed have some chicken and ass fate would have it KFC has come out with a new thing for me to try. When I saw the commercial on TV it was almost as if it was a sign from God Himself. KFCs Boneless Blazin’ Buffalo Wings had been put on this Earth for me to try and try them I did.
Calling up everyone’s favorite guest reviewer Jason (he showed up for the Monster Thickburger adventure), a chicken feast was set for 1pm. I would pick up our meal and we would dine together in his backyard. Two chicken lovers (might be more truthful if I take the word chicken out), two flavors of chicken. We were preparing for this meal all day, saving our hunger for what was to come. What could go wrong?
There they were, just waiting for us. Each in their individual boxes, separated by flavor. One spicy, one barbecue. They flavors had been sent by God and we would do his will by eating them. The anticipation was building, we opened them up.
Now while it might have been a sign from God that we eat these things, it was not a kind god who gave us this mission. It was if Loki himself had decided to meddle in my affairs with some sort of elaborate scheme to play a joke on me. Maybe I was not meant to eat chicken. Maybe each of the steps that led us to this path of chicken eating was all a set up by him to let him have the final laugh. These were not the meal sized morsels I had seen on the television, this was chicken slop, and a tiny amount of chicken slop at that. What was supposed to have been a meal was now a tiny snack. But we were not totally disheartened, we were hungry, so we decided to eat anyway.
Splitting them up we each tried some of both. Despite their size they did pack a great deal of flavor. The spicy ones were actually spicy, something that hardly ever happens when it comes to fast food. Being someone who likes hot sauce so hot that you need to sign a waiver in order to buy it I normally find that things labeled as hot or spicy are usually as mild to me as a glass of milk, but in this case the sauce actually had a nice zing to it. But how about those bbq flavored ones? Jason said that they had a nice honey flavor to them but like me he was let down by the size of the food. Maybe if you ordered two for one person you might fill up but one was just not enough. Another thing is that although it’s fast food you really can’t eat this stuff on the go. It’s just way to messy to eat and drive, but I don’t think that was really the design behind these things, much like other KFC products.
I think this stuff deserves about a 3 cheese rating. They tasted pretty good but were really small and I have had the same thing but better at other places, most notably the Cluck-U-Chicken breast bites. For a quick sit down snack they would be good but other then that I’d say stick with other things on the menu, well, other things besides the Snacker because if you remember my review on them they also suffered from the same tiny portion syndrome. Oh well, at least the spicy ones were actually spicy.
