10 Mistakes You're Making At KFC - Tasting Table
Briefly

Fried chicken delivers the best flavor and texture when served hot and fresh. Delays of around 20 minutes after frying noticeably diminish taste and quality. Reheating in an oven or microwave cannot fully restore the original freshly fried experience. Delivery orders risk additional time in transit because drivers often make multiple stops, which further reduces freshness. Picking up an order personally preserves temperature and crispness and yields a noticeably better meal. The modest extra effort to retrieve KFC ensures higher value from a dining purchase by maximizing freshness and enjoyment.
One thing about fried chicken is that it's much, much better when it's hot and fresh. Wait for 20 minutes after it's already come out of the fryer, and you're left with a batch of chicken that doesn't taste as good as it could. Sure, you can always reheat it in the oven or microwave, but it's not going to taste the same as it did when it was completely fresh.
This is why we think it's such a big mistake to get KFC delivered instead of just picking it up yourself. Your delivery driver may have other stops on the way, and every minute is precious when it comes to the freshness of your fried chicken. Sure, it's a bit of extra work to pick up your KFC yourself, but it's worth it.
