There’s not that much to keep us entertained during lockdown – aside from ‘Tiger King’ and playing through Red Dead Redemption 2 again – but thankfully whoever handles KFC’s social media has decided to step up to the plate and thoroughly rinse people’s attempts at imitating their famous fried chicken whilst they’re stuck at home an unable to purchase it.

Whilst some fast food joints have decided to praise people’s at home cuisine, KFC have instead decided to go full Gordon Ramsay on us and rate everything out of ten, with pretty much everyone getting really low scores and pissy comments. Here are a few of the best:
This is the saddest thing I’ve seen and I’ve watched the Futurama episode were the dog waits outside for Fry. 3/10. #RateMyKFC https://t.co/RGmSRgXliK

The chicken on the bone looks like you’ve played with a jacket potato like it’s a Stretch Armstrong and that gravy is a suspicious colour.
Beans and strips look good thou. 6/10. #RateMyKFC https://t.co/jA6w4RiqyA

Carole cluckin’ Baskin wouldn’t even feed this to her tigers. 4/10. #RateMyKFC https://t.co/uXoVQ0Ji1K

A wet blue Rizla is a stronger skin than this. Need to up your egg wash game pal. 5/10. #RateMyKFC https://t.co/WzLei9pY92

This is #RateMyKFC, not #RateMySFC or whatever you call those buckets in the freezer aisle. Good portion, thou. 2/10. https://t.co/JQz4ovuxYw

I wore my new Dr Martens for the first time today to pop to the shop. That was less painful than looking at this. BBQ sauce touching the mash?!
Gravy needs a few thousand extra granules, too.
Chicken looks decent though. 4/10. #RateMyKFC https://t.co/zAJTwCM3Ah

This is so sad I can’t even think of anything witty to say. I’m going back to sleep in the hope I wake up happier. I’m not holding my breath. 1/10. #RateMyKFC

The chicken looks like it’s the side to a Mozzarella Dipper main which makes me sad. 4/10 #RateMyKFC

I mean you gotta say that he’s being pretty fair with most of those because they do look atrocious. Were people actually thinking they were going to get a good score when hey were submitting these monstrosities? Lockdown got people waved.
It wasn’t all doom and gloom though because he did rate a few of them fairly highly and dished out the praise where it was due:
This has taken me straight back to my uni days, cooking whatever was in the freezer and trying to make a meal of it. Excellent innovation and superb cheese melt. Would score higher if I could actually see more of the chicken. 8/10. #RateMyKFC

This is nightmare fuel. 7/10. #RateMyKFC

Golden, crisp looking chicken presented in a fine wicker basket. Loses a point for the flakey look, but still excellent. 8/10. #RateMyKFC

I like this. I like this a lot. 9/10. #RateMyKFC

Gotta up your game if you want the approval of KFC apparently. Good thing we all got a hell of a lot of free time to sort that out I suppose. Get cracking.
If KFC isn’t your bag, why not try making a Greggs sausage and bean melt pasty? They’ve released the recipe here. Go on.
