KFC Customers Are Furious And Threatening To Boycott After Being Served ‘Smaller’ Chicken Tenders: ‘Never Going Back’

KFC is the most recent fast food chain under fire in the “shrinkflation” Subreddit. It seems the “finger-lickin’ good” chicken is lacking in size, according to one post.
An unhappy customer posted a photo of a sad-looking tender beside their hand for scale, writing: “kfc’s chicken ‘tenders'” and proclaiming “never going back to kfc again.” Read more about the post—and what others are saying—below.
Complaints about fast food “shrinkflation” have been widespread in recent years. Customers are continuously disappointed with everything from not-so-big McDonald’s breakfasts to shrinking Chick-fil-A tenders.
In the post about the sad-looking KFC tender, one commenter wrote: “That’s just two chicken nuggets in a trenchcoat,” highlighting how absurdly small the piece looked. Others leaned into the wordplay: “Tenderly small.”
Another poster plainly urged readers to “Avoid KFC.” It sounds like a boycott may be in order for some people.
