Oprah Promotes KFC’s New Grilled Chicken

First of all, let me just say that I never thought I’d see the day when KFC would come out with anything but their greasy, deep fried chicken.  The stuff smells so good but I always feel gross after I’ve eaten it.  Now, they are serving up grilled chicken and Oprah has been promoting it.  Indeed, Oprah told her viewers that they could try it for free and feathers were ruffled when the fast-food chain ran out of it.  "Some customers were upset because they couldn’t get their chicken, but there was no riot," KFC spokesperson Laurie Schalow said. 

Coupons for the special offer were made available on Oprah.com for 24 hours this past Tuesday and they were good for two pieces of grilled chicken, two sides and a biscuit.  YUM!

Even though they ran out of the food, they were grateful to Oprah for creating a "perfect storm" to promote the chicken and will honor the coupons after they’ve restocked.  Watch a commercial for the chicken:
