Nixon wasn't a crook, and KFC claims this isn't a Kentucky Fried Rodent.

KFC Says 'Fried Rat' Is Just A Weird-Looking Chicken Tender

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/17/kfc-fried-rat_n_7604498.html?cps=gravity_2450_1532120336968527041



If this thing tastes like chicken, it's for a braver soul to find out.

A California man made waves on Facebook after posting a photo of an oddly shaped cutlet that he claims to have received in a three-piece meal from a Los Angeles KFC on Friday. As of Thursday afternoon, the image had been shared more than 121,000 times.

Devorise Dixon, 25, said on Facebook that he bit into the unsavory-looking morsel and found it had a rubbery texture. He then claimed to have taken it back to the KFC restaurant where he'd purchased it. The manager told Dixon the fried lump was a rat, apologized and offered him a free meal, Dixon told a local radio show, the Randy Economy Show, June 13.

"A customer has made a serious claim against KFC and refuses to cooperate in the investigation," KFC said in a statement sent to The Huffington Post. "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."

The exposed bit looks like chicken, too much density to be a rat. Where are the hind legs? The tail made it intact, but no legs? Hoax IMO.
