The grilled is the best chicken on the market...once they had a bar b que grilled that was really, really good. Wish KFC would bring it back. You can get printable coupons off the KFC.com website that are a big help to the pocket book. I will give the $5 box deal a try. Thanks for the review.

It was also my first time trying the grilled chicken. Its pretty good It would be better boneless however. But my current favorite $5.00 meal would be the Mcdonald's Awesome Threesome which is a Big Mac, Medium Fries, and a Medium Drink. Its satisfying and fills me up. I would recommend it over the KFC box meal. Im not too much a big fan of KFC but it was a good meal. the mashed taters were good and the biscuit was ok.

You will most likely be rung up for fries/wedges unless you specify. Also, grilled chicken seems smaller because both the original and crispy have a thick layer of breading, and although the actual meat gets smaller once grilled, it mostly seems smaller because it is not breaded. And to answer your question about the "grilled chicken", it is baked in a special oven, with grill racks, which usually do not leave very noticeable marks.

Immediate frustration when the place in Salem,OR on Devonshire quickly informed me that the side was regular fries and they did not offer any choice with this deal. Getting back to work i opened the box. 2 small pieces of chicken (the sparrows in my yard would yield bigger pieces). A rather mediocre biscuit and a package of limp fries. This meal would be well worth about a dollar. The Colonel would have shut 'em down for such insulting food. Decided to try this out.
