You know how sometimes you get a craving for something you haven't had in a long while, and even though it's not really 'quality' food you still want it? That's what I'm talking about today!
Back in the '70s and '80s, KFC (which was then known as Kentucky Fried Chicken) sold regular, crispy, and a heavily sauced BBQ chicken. The BBQ variety was discontinued chain-wide sometime in the '90s, perhaps as late as 2000. (Note: this was not the same as the "Honey BBQ" chicken they sell today, which is sweeter and less tangy.)
The BBQ was a thick, tangy, slightly spicy sauce that they dipped the whole pieces in after cooking. (Rumor had it that the BBQ chicken was made from Original Recipe that had sat under the heat lamps too long, and was a way to salvage chicken that would otherwise be scrapped. I don't know if that was true, I just know it was good!)
Does this ring a bell with anyone? Any ideas on how to duplicate that taste?
