When it comes to fast food chicken KFC is our go-to. None of the other fast food restaurants in our area are anywhere near as tasty. They do chicken and they do it well. I’m not putting anyone down, it’s just simple. Burger places can’t do chicken as well as a chicken place, same as I wouldn’t expect a chicken place to do burgers well. There was a period of time where we’d pick up a bucket of KFC chicken every weekend, for an easy casual meal while watching the race. Sometimes it’s nice to take a night off from cooking, you know?
You know the game “I Spy”? My oldest son used to play it relentlessly. We had entire books dedicated just to that game. The books started coming out in the early 90s so if you’ve had a child since then you probably know which books I’m referring to. He’s 18 now and frequently tries to give the impression that he’s just too old for kid stuff. The other night when he walked into the living room and saw an I Spy poster on our coffee table he couldn’t help but smile.
The I Spy game came in the new KFC Game Night Bucket. The KFC Game Night Bucket includes 12 of KFC’s famous Extra Crispy™ Tenders, four dipping sauces, four biscuits, two large side items and a free I SPY game. If you have a larger family, or a really hungry family, there’s a larger Game Night Bucket available with 20 Extra Crispy Tenders.
The chicken tenders are actually one of my favorite KFC items (after the Mash bowl, which I am madly in love with). The bucket also give you a choice of two sides. I chose the mashed potatoes and the cobettes. Their mashed potatoes are really good, I could eat the gravy like soup given the chance. Cobettes are mini pieces of corn on the cob, which is my favorite vegetable bar none.
KFC put this special item on the menu for a limited time because they wanted to give busy families a fun way to do something together at home. Many experts are of the belief that families who game together reap significant benefits such as academic development, self-confidence and resiliency, and increased family cohesion. The Colonel would surely be smiling to see families enjoying this bucket. That saying – the family that plays (and eats) together, stays together – sure fits here. The KFC Game Night Bucket is available for a limited time only so hurry!
What’s your go-to meal for a fun and casual family dinner at home?

We haven't eaten at KFC in a long time, but now I'm craving it! I do have fond memories of KFC though... when I was a child it was about the only fast food we ever ate and every pay day that's what we got. I loved it! :)

Pizza from PJ's, Chinese from The Wall, a sub from the deli but never fast food which we have on the go or when time is short.

I haven't had KFC in a long time. We don't do much fast food but if we have to do chicken it's usually KFC.

We love KFC and the kids love the I SPY books so this will be a hit in our house.
