I tried it they are giving free samples today...hurry it's not too late...lol. It was really good! Tasted like oven baked chicken with the semi crispy skin...very good.

I know they call it "grilled chicken", but does anyone know if it contains any trans-fats? I'll have to investigate this...

Re: anyone tried new grilled chicken from Kfc

I have, and it's pretty good actually, I wasn't expecting it to be good at all. I was pretty surprised!

I just looked up the Ingredients in the Grilled Chicken, and here's what I found. how bad is all this? (I haven't eaten it yet.)

It might not have any carbs but look what it does have. ??? It has carbs, just not enough for them to count.

Contains Wheat and Soy.

I would think the amounts would be negligible but.....for those of us allergic to carbs, probably something to avoid.

Re: anyone tried new grilled chicken from Kfc

Yeah, see, I'm wondering. Is it a significant enough amount for us Atkineers to avoid?

Re: anyone tried new grilled chicken from Kfc

I had a small leg the other night and truthfully it was dry and salty tasting - not worth the money we paid. We were out and mom wanted to try it so we did -- we split a 2 piece meal - I had the green beans and a leg -- the beans had very little taste and so did the chicken...

On a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being delicious) I'd give it a 1

A matter of taste, it seems, but I like it very much. I've been crying over the loss of KFC's tender roast chicken for five years, however. The grilled chicken is not quite as good, IMO, but I do like it very much.

I have made several meals off of it (chicken and a salad or chicken and a vegetable) since they started offering it. It has not caused any stalls here, so I would say Desertthorn is correct. Anything not quite Atkins legal would be negligible if you are only having a piece or, probably, even two.

My only problem with it is stopping at one piece because I missed the tender roast for so long.

I had some (a single breast and cole slaw) the other night. I thought it was really good. I'm new to this. I hope the cole slaw was okay. Probably not.

the chicken is coated with chemicals I choose not to put into my body:

The cole slaw is not allowed on Induction or after -- it's made with sugar. Carrots are also not allowed until Rung 9 so unless you make your own cole slaw it's best to keep away from KFC's.

Re: anyone tried new grilled chicken from Kfc

I somehow knew the cole slaw was a no no. Thanks for the information Carol. I don't know anything about "rungs". I guess I'd better buy the book. I'm kind of winging it right now. I had some one tell me about Atkins. What I was told was I can eat meat, cheese, eggs and salad. No bread, pasta, sugar, potatos, rice, etc....Tana

Re: anyone tried new grilled chicken from Kfc

Oh, Carol, I just went back and read the ingredients in the KFC chicken. YUCK!!

Re: anyone tried new grilled chicken from Kfc

TanaLee -- I agree....yuck!

It’s a good idea to get a copy of the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) the book we use for reference on this site. Until you can get a copy of the book check the stickies (information posts) at the top of the induction page - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/77558-atkins-diet-induction-faqs.html – it’s a condensed version of everything you’ll need to know. Even through the stickies are a good start they don’t detail the entire program, so that’s why we suggest you have the book to follow.

If you need any help let me know.
