18. This will do two things for KFC

It will reduce the amount of garbage an individual restaurant generates. Probably half the trash in a KFC dumpster is bones. Get rid of those...

It will also cut down the chain's food costs. Let us say cut-up chicken costs 50 cents a pound in the form they get it in now. Chicken is half bone by weight so the meat actually costs $1.00 per pound. If they can negotiate this to 95 cents per pound of deboned meat, they'll be ahead.

And it would probably be cheaper than that because there is a market for chicken bones: soup companies.

Never mind the fact the American public has shown a preference for boneless chicken...we sophisticated Internet users who only eat fine dining believe all chicken should be served bone-in.

(And this is anathema to all, but I ate the Double Down and liked it. I used a fork tho...)
