Tribal People Taste Test KFC VS McDonald's Fried Chicken
About this video
Tribal People Try lines up McDonald's fried chicken for a comparison. The tribe don't do polite draws — one side wins, and they tell you which.
What is fried chicken?
Fried chicken is chicken pieces in seasoned flour, deep-fried until the crust shatters. The American South made it a dish; KFC made it a global chain, and Korean fried chicken added a thin, extra-crisp coating and a sticky glaze.
McDonald's began as a single restaurant in San Bernardino, California in 1940 and became the world's largest burger chain after Ray Kroc started franchising it in 1955. The Big Mac dates from 1967. It opened in Pakistan in 1998, in Lahore.
What to watch for
Crunch is universal. Fried chicken is one of the few foods that wins on the first bite almost every time. The comments are about the coating — thick, salty, peppery — and about how much chicken there actually is under it.
The comparison they always make
Village chicken is a curry or a tandoori roast; frying it in batter is a shop treat, not home cooking. KFC has been in Pakistan since 1997, so the older men know the name even if they have never sat in one.
