KFC = Salt City

Just went to a potluck and had a piece of KFC chicken for the first time in 25+ years. The salt load was incredible! There was no chicken taste, no breading taste, just a huge salt impact. Who can stand to eat this crap?

I never recalled KFC being over salty, however, i'm from Canada, so that made me look.

From US KFC nutritional values, a piece of original chicken breast contains 1080mg of sodium, while in Canada, that same piece of chicken only contains 520mg of sodium (although the portion size is a tad smaller in canada - 163 US vs. 141 Canada)

almost double the sodium in the US recipe than it is in Canada!

Wow! Thanks for checking this out. Makes me wonder about the sodium content in processed foods in both countries.

I have pondered this question for years and years. No flavor, just salt.

That's my finding with McDonalds' burgers - Loaded with salt. Who eats that crap?

If you want to cut down on the salt - stay with the fries - oddly, they have a much lower salt content (not that their fries are worthy).

KFC is making a fortune in the Caribbean and China. Maybe they use less salt there.
