@The Hound: I remember it being on rotation for a least a few years. It was always a bonus when hot and spicy promoted at the same time. A free change over and you could choose any piece you wanted.

@wowbigdeal: its criminal it only got 4 votes! although back then 10 votes probably got deal of the month.

@nevergofullretail: You didn't even upvote it!!! Must not have been that great of a deal back then haha.
It would probably win deal of the month nowadays.That's a decent combo you've been able to keep rolling. I might have to look into it myself. Thanks for the heads up.

Bought this deal a couple of times over the years, and I always feel unsatisfied afterwards. The pieces are just not great (like getting a part of the breast), and it just lacks flavour I guess?
The only time I get it now is if I can combine it with Hot & Spicy, as at least that coating is good.
In general, I really miss Texas Chicken and Popeyes in Christchurch. Really need some (fast food) chicken competition here.

i agree i had this deal a few months ago,wasnt impressed even tegal takeouts were just as good

Not that I disagree but this really is a quantity value deal as opposed to a quality to cost ratio deal.
The chickens aren't delicious but they are adequate. I challenge you to find another fast food or any food deal that beats this for fulling up an empty stomach. Even paknsave sells their ready to eat hot food at a higher price.

I see your point, and I do agree that the quantity you get for the price you pay is really good (but there are alternatives like Domino’s and Pizza Hut, plus McDonald’s and Burger King sometimes have some great deals too).
And at what point does quantity over quality become a thing? For me, KFC is a prime example, I’d rather pay a bit more and get chicken that I actually enjoy.
I might be privileged in the sense that I don’t mind spending a few more dollars, but at this stage, I’d rather take my money somewhere else.

They give the scrap pieces for this deal right?
The discussion last time: https://www.cheapies.nz/node/56503

Yeah, that's why you swap out to hot n spicy if your store does it. They've had to give me a bucket to fit the 5 pieces many times before.

Approximately half the time I got the scraps or chickling size (2 out of the 5 pieces). Factoring in the price and frequency, it's alright. I'm also claiming the survey deal as well, maybe that's why.

This was the worst kfc chicken deal ever. Ate the two leg pieces and threw out the other thigh etc pieces out. Their regular snack lunch deal has way better chicken

Gotta admit, love this deal.
