    A lot of people do. I don't much like it. I do like Original quite a
    bit.

    You're most welcome, Pandora.

    Personally, I think all of the chicken at KFC is disgusting. But,
    then, I've always had real southern fried chicken at home. There's
    absolutely no comparison.

    I just wanted to ask what was the difference! Only pressure fryer?

    Yes, that's the main difference. Although, I don't much like the coating
    they use either.

    I have to agree. I never buy the stuff. I remember eating it
    occasionally when friends would bring a bucket over, but never could
    eat more than about one piece. I used to joke KFC was good for
    motorcycles. I imagined wiring a chicken leg to the frame just above
    the rear drive chain, the dripping grease keeping the chain well
    lubed. My brother came up with a good approach to eating KFC. Take
    the meat off the bone and stick it between one of the biscuits to soak
    up the excess grease, then dose with black pepper and a good Louisiana
    hot sauce.

    LOL! I can picture it!

    I don't know. It's my understanding deep fryer fat is a waste
    product that's a real pain for any restaurant using it. I think they
    have to pay for its disposal. I could be wrong on this.

    nb

    You're correct about this. There are companies that specialize in this.

    Excuse me the English question. Why, sometimes, do you write "fried" and
    why do you write sometimes "fryer" when there is a consonant before the
    "Y"? Sorry if I would like to understand 🙂
    cheers
    Pandora
    --------------------------------------------------------

    The word "fried" is an adjective that is used to describe a noun, such as
    "chicken". The word "fryer" is a noun that is the name of a piece of
    equipment, such as "deep fryer".

    Ahhhhh! Thank you Wayne! Now I understand ! Fryer is a substantive, OK!
    But...now that I think...why a substantive has different grammatichal rules
    in comparison with an adjective?

    I suppose you've seen the TV stories about the guys traveling across
    the US with just used-grease from the fast food place(s) for their
    vehicle. I don't know if they get their free grease exclusively from
    one fast-food restaurant or not. Dee Dee

    Google on bio-diesel for more information.

    Those TV stories have the accuracy of most TV stories. I like the way
    they describe someone driving up to the fast food place and simply
    filling up with waste fryer oil as if they pulled into a filling
    station. The reality is that there is considerable processing involved
    to remove undesirable stuff before the oil can be used in a diesel engine.

    Substantive? Boy, I had to dig out my dusty old Harbrace for that
    one. 😉

    A chicken itself, can be called a "fryer," too.

    I've read some stuff about it. Most of the time people go through a
    processing step to make bio-diesel fuel. However, some guys say that
    once the car's up and running at temp they can switch to burning
    unprocessed oil (I'm sure they filter it) directly.

    It's not wrong, but is less right. As long as you don't write "friar",
    that's something else altogether.
