Free Today: KFC's New Kentucky Grilled Chicken

Apparently, the new recipe is just as top-secret as the Colonel's original fried chicken recipe. It's marinated and seasoned with a blend of six herbs and spices, then slow-grilled in a proprietary oven. I've been curious about this healthier version of chicken ever since it first came out a few weeks ago, so today will be the perfect chance to put it to the test.

To celebrate the highly anticipated launch of its new Kentucky Grilled Chicken, fast food chain KFC is giving away gratis pieces of grilled chicken to customers today

Apparently, people just don't think "non-fried" when they go to KFC. If they don't sell enough to keep it fresh in restaurants, they'll take this off, too. Hopefully, enough partners of people going for the fried who want something healthier will keep the grilled chicken alive. I mean, I do love fried chicken and I love KFC's -- I'm a Kentucky Colonel, too! -- but everything in moderation.

Kentucky Fried Chicken to stubborn folks like myself -- is launching a new grilled chicken entree. April 27 is being called "UNFry Day," and stores will give a free piece of grilled chicken to anyone coming by the store that day. They have had non-fried items before, like Tender Roast, Oven Roast, Rotisserie Gold, etc., but they didn't sell well.
