Anyone else tried them? Had some at lunch today. I'd say they're not as good as the old chips from 5 years ago, but way better then the godawful french fries we've had since 2013.
now please bring back crispy strips

Not in this topic, sunshine.
I look forward to trying the new KFC chips on my weekly fast food day.
Burger King chips are awesome. If they're like those I'll be happy.

afaik these are supposed to completely replace the french fries in the UK. my branch didn't have them on saturday, but today when I went they were there.
Yeah, although a bit smaller. Hopefully they retain heat better then the BK ones. Mine were fine today but I don't know how long they'd been sitting there.
They look like McCain's Micro Chips but with the skin on the end.
They look overcooked, soggy, and disappointing.

Speaking of names all my life I have called "cookies" biscuits and I don't think American buiscuit existed. Until I came to america....

Yes, if they are fresh BK are by far the best. The problem is you have to wait for fresh ones because they don't retain heat at all, I rarely go to BK because I always end up having to take my chips back to get fresh ones.
these are chips
Very disappointed after that thread title the OP did not deliver on KFC flavored chips.

Taste like rustic style chips. Many were crisp, but there were a few that were a bit limp
Why don't you all just switch to the standard definitions of chips?
I'll need to try them. KFC is awful though, there is no consistency. I get maybe 1-4 visits it's enjoyable.
Those are crisps cause they are...crispy.these are chips
What's in the OP are chips because they are...chips of potato.
Simple as that !
They were doing a weird promotional campaign for this a month or so back. They were digging up tweets, some of which were years old, from random people saying how shit KFC chips are and then promoting them so they appeared in people's feed.
KFC in this country is dire. I can't eat that shit.
So is Burger King but at least their chips pass as acceptable.

There's like 3 KFC near where I live and only one of them has these new chips.
So I don't know what's up with that.

Well I know what crisps are lol
probably franchisees wanting to use up old stock
or DHL messing up delivery of the new chips
Tried them last night, better than the oil drenched anaemic looking thinks they used to sell... not much more to say on it tbh.

Yeah. Back when they first came out I couldn't believe they'd serve such garbage. And they kept at it for 5 years!
how would you describe their texture
also neat, they always came up as soggy cold and crap before.

No, we lost them a few years ago, around the same time they changed to the crap fries that were just replaced.
The crispy strips were replaced by "mini fillets", which are garbage.
KFC fries in UK must be different than where I live. Their fries are pretty good where I live, as long as they are hot. Curious if they will change them here too. In Eastern Europe.
That sucks, crispy strips are one of the main reasons why I get anything from KFC to begin with.
