ALos Angeles man ordered fried chicken from a KFC restaurant in Willowbook but instead got a plate of crispy, breaded fried rat, he claims..

Devorise Dixon posted a photo of what he claims is a fried rat on Facebook on Friday, and it has since gone viral. The photo shows a large breaded piece attached to a longer string of fried breading, which could be interpreted to be a rat’s tail.

...

But KFC says Dixon’s claim is a hoax.

His photographs, they say, don’t include a second angle, which “clearly shows it’s a piece of hand-breaded white meat chicken.”

“Based on this, and the fact that he refuses to allow anyone to see the product, we are left to believe that he intended to deceive the public with this hoax and we are considering all options,” KFC said in a statement.

Yeah, my thought as well. And I bet KFC didn’t charge him any more for it!

Is rat the "other" other white meat?

Our rat is hand-dipped in our classic recipe buttermilk batter.

Nobody I ever knew in “the hood” had any interest in eating rat. Nobody.

I can certainly understand how it would be hard to tell if it was chicken or rat. Especially if it came from KFC.

Nowadays, your average rat has a lot more meat on the bones than your average KFC bird. The last time I bought anything at KFC, I felt the need to check the parking lot to see if the pigeons were missing. That was four years ago, and I haven’t eaten there since.
