So if you know me, you know I love fried chicken and I get cravings for KFC every now and then!
When I saw this packet called ‘SFC’ in the Coles freezer section, I laughed for ages and wanted to buy them. Alas, I’m a cheapo and they were $9.90 so I passed, but not too long ago they were half price so YES! I got one to try it out.

I decided to cook it for dinner one night while watching ‘If You Are The One’
Opening the box up, you’ll be met with the pretty frozen sight of fried chicken haha. But whatever. I wanted some fried chicken and this promised me ‘crunchy, golden, succulent Chicken wings covered with Hot n Spicy southern style coating’. Some of the wings had stuck together and pulling them up inadvertently caused some of the skin to fall off. Boooo! ……I cooked those bits anyway since it’s obviously the best part of fried chicken ;D
So there were 6 pieces in total but what the hell is THAT. It was tiny and so I’ll call it 5.5 pieces!
Anyway as directed, I popped them in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 200°c (I’ve heard the best way to reheat KFC is in a similar structure). Watching them sizzle in the oven was so exciting that I wasn’t even paying attention to the TV any more!
At last, they were ready! And they looked pretty good for coming out of a box lol.
Verdict? Pretty good! They obviously weren’t KFC tier but they had a nice subtle spicy seasoning that made me eat 4/6 – I decided to let my younger brother have 2 because I’m generous and all. The chicken itself wasn’t that amazing, but as I said, it came out of the box and it expires in a year …so freshness obviously isn’t a strong point here.
IMO, these are cool to try out but $9.90 for 6 wings is pretty pricey when KFC sells 10 wicked wings for $9.95
Ash and I are actually bought another one of their products called SFC Take Home Boneless Bucket, which we had initially intended for his b’day party but didn’t end up using due to there being enough food! But that’ll def be next on my review list heh. Actually, Ash* and I love going to Coles at really odd hours, so if I see something else cool, I’ll review it!

Ooooo I’ve been meaning to buy these too ahaha! Waiting for the next half price bucket. Their chicken tender is pretty good, I rate them pretty highly on oven food
LOL yeah, it’s freakin’ expensive otherwise lol!
And oooh I’ll get that ..when it’s half price too haah
Yesssss please review the bucket of chicken! I’ve been wanting to try it but I’m also a cheapo and want to hear what other people think haha! These sound pretty good for frozen food at least! xx

D: THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY LATE RESPONSE, I AM SO SORRY!
…that bucket of chicken is still sitting in my bf’s freezer ..so hopefully I’ll be able to review it soon!? lolol
[…] actually haven’t eaten it yet lol ..so here’s another chicken review! However unlike my previous post, I didn’t actually buy this one but rather came home to mum proudly saying she bought a bag […]
I too waited until the half price offer. Sadly though I received 7 pieces in the box. Cooked for 30 minutes at 200 degrees but no crunch. The amount of fatty parts they crumb is also unacceptable. When I can go to kfc on a Tuesday and get 9 pieces for $10. The flavour and chicken itself was good but was let down by portions and way to much fatty bits. I will not purchase again.
Oh yes definitely!! With KFC’s 9 pieces for $10, these are not even worth it haha.
It’s crap processed chicken with not much flavour. Prety sad trying to take off KFC which is greasy but oh has flavour.
Lol! It is funny how similar it looks to KFC :P (esp the bucket!!)
