"Nice and fresh. the 10 Wicked Wings® Combo were spot on. followed instructions on the Original Crispy Burger Box swapping to the pepper Mayo"
"I wanted to try Aussie KFC as I am from California and was curious about the authenticity. The chicken itself was good. Crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The cole slaw was disappointing, it was mushy and had almost a porridge-like consistency. I also tried the fries (chips) and they were decent. The Dipping Sauces were good, but as usual the Aussies are missing out on Ranch Dressing! Trust me, u gotta try it."
