Moms Dish on What They Think about Fast Food Chicken

What do moms really think of fast food chicken? A new survey confirms that quality is the big question. Nearly 90 percent of respondents wonder about the quality of chicken nuggets and strips at some fast food restaurants. Moms also report that they would be much more willing to serve their family fast food chicken nuggets or strips if they knew they were 100 percent breast meat.

“Moms know that their kids find fast food chicken tasty and they say it’s a convenient option, but our findings show that 89 percent of moms are still skeptical about quality,” said Kevin Hochman, Chief Marketing Officer for KFC U.S. “KFC’s Extra Crispy™ Tenders are freshly prepared in our restaurants every day and they are 100 percent all breast meat – the quality you might expect to find at more expensive restaurants or like what parents might prepare at home. Our Tenders are loved by kids, and ‘mom approved.’”

Ninety-five percent of moms said getting the family around the dinner table is important, but it’s easier said than done. According to the KFC survey results, more than half of moms report it takes 10 minutes or more to corral the kids for the evening meal, with 16 minutes being the average muster time. “We know today’s families are time-starved and don’t always have the luxury of sitting down together at the dinner table,” Hochman added. “We were happy to hear moms say connecting over a family meal is still very important, and we’re especially proud that KFC is the fast food restaurant moms most prefer for a family meal.”

Luckily, with the KFC favorite Dip’ems® Bucket— 20 Extra Crispy™ Tenders accompanied by six sauces— moms can have the quality chicken they want that’s fast, easy and delicious.
