Thanks UKposts.. I really needed to see this 9 years later

It is me, The person who actually searched this up

This video is really the embodiment of what UKposts once was

10 years later and still watched till the end. I need a life.

me: Let's sleep. UKposts: Wait, watch how KFC prepares their food.

I remember seeing this as a kid and thinking I found out kfc’s secret recipe

This was very interesting and I loved watching it. I worked at KFC for 4 years in the late 90's to 2000's and most of this was similar... We had 3 variations of twisters and 3 different chicken sandwiches plus the 3 types of chicken back then. Plus I was in Florida so things were similar but a bit different as far as the menu. My location was crazy clean and we prided ourselves on that. Per @naitoman we only wore cut proof gloves because, well you can guess why but he's right wearing normal gloves was a bad idea. We had the pressure cookers, rotisserie, and deep fryers and we spent a lot of time cleaning them. We used huge blocks of shortening in the fryers and we switched it out periodically between adding an additive to extend its life. Honestly, after spending many years learning things, becoming an architect and going through MANY kitchens, I would say KFC held pretty high standards where I was and the workers prided themselves being part of it. Again just my experience but I learned a LOT form working there. So thank you for the video!

Her being happy simply because of where she works makes me feel happier that I’m not at a critical stage of depression.

For those who saying "where's the glove", "no gloves?", do you see Gordon Ramsay wearing gloves while handling food?

This girls just happily naming stuff is the cutest thing hahaha

I worked at one in the 1970s. We had a breading machine and did not have to do it like this. Also had 6 pressure cookers. The chicken in pieces came in bags and you had to break by hand some pieces or they would not cook properly. The mashed potatoes and gravy were made instant from packets. At the close if there was any chicken that was unsold, we could take it home or we had to throw it away. Btw the breaded coating came in unmarked bags with no ingredients on them. At that time there was no crispy, they were putting in the fryers for that when I left. Still the best cole slaw in the world.

Meanwhile on ChickenTube, this is a found footage video with LiveLeak logo in the corner

*If you are not a KFC worker, dont be mean to us we work hard at the back in every shift and try to smile thru our physical hard work 💓* we are human too From KFC worker :)

No chickens were harmed in the filming of this video.

I worked at a KFC in the 70's. Hardest job I ever had. Was an assistant manager did everything made the chicken salads in 25/50 gallon drums. The chicken was much tastier then and the gravy was made from the real crackling. Believe it or not back then no one want the wings always had left over wings I would take home to my mother because of corse they could not be saved all leftover chicken had to be thrown out usually it was only wings.

This just reaffirmed my belief that no matter what you do, do your best and you will be successful

Doesn't matter where you work, I respect anyone who cares about doing a good job.

I work as a cook at KFC lemme clarify a few things 1. The correct procedure is to not wear gloves when breading unless you have cuts on your hands or have reactions to the flour 2. the dipping water gets bloody yes. because it's real meat. So the water gets changed obviously 3. the cage is not rusty. it's flour that has been burnt onto it and gets cleaned off every night 4. crispy chicken does not need the lid down because cooking it under pressure doesn't make it crispy. anything crispy cooks with an open lid

In 1974, I worked at a Kentucky fried Chicken for a couple months. As a result, I no longer like fried chicken. On Sunday, this particular franchisee still cooked chicken the original Colonel Sanders way using pressure cookers on top of gas stoves.

12M views, 12 years, 12 pieces of chicken, perfection, another gem

'Remember to forget at least one item in each order'

I actually like seeing videos like this. It's good to see how food is handled and prepared at popular franchises. Hopefully this doesn't get taken down by KFC.

Thanks the video gives me a good basic understanding of how the kitchen works. i recently got hired at a local kfc :D

I used to work at KFC and when I tell you I can smell this video I'm telling you, I can smell this video

Why hello there person 7 years into the future watching this because it is in your recommended. How are you today?

All fun and games till a rat fall in there

In my experience my shift went like this - >Suffer >Suffer >Sneak into the coolroom to check my phone >Suffer some more >Walk home completely covered in oil and flour >Repeat again with extra suffering

There are so many steps that the colonel from KFC perfected that those people aren't even following. I wonder if they ever got in trouble.

No bacteria can survive the high temperature of boiling oil, so I see no problem with handeling without gloves.

smh people saying he isnt wearing gloves.. wearing gloves wont give it that special KFC signature flavor to it with all the skin cells

Worked as a Cook in my very first job in 1981, at the 4th Avenue San Mateo, CA location with two of my high school buddies. We used to have to 'break' the frozen chicken thighs before cooking. The whole process was an eye opener. The pressure cookers were scary at first, but nothing compared to the layers of grease on my Nikes each night. This was during the Kentucky Fried Rat controversy in the early 80s.

Thanks YT, I needed to see this after 13 years

Wearing gloves in a kitchen is the same sense of false security as wearing a helmet sky diving... gloves aren't the issue. Regular cleaning of work station and washing hands is what is needed to being 'safe' in the kitchen.

Day 9 on Covid 19 Lockdown UKposts: Would you like to learn about KFC? Me: Your damn right I do!!!

It looks the same back there almost 10 years later. 💀💀

I really needed to see this almost 12 years later

To tell you honestly! I worked at KFC for 2 years as service crew.. I've been all around the store, been cook, bust boy, food preparation, dish washer, cashier etc... I PROUDLY SAY, KFC is the best and cleanest chicken in the whole world.. upto now I always bring my son to KFC, hot n spicy is my favorite chicken and KFC gravy is the best gravy in the planet!!

imagine posting this 10 years ago and forgetting about it and logging back on just to find out it almost got 10M views

No one is going to mention that KFC chicken in going into a Long John Silvers bag, good management 👍😟

Man I really needed to see this 12 years later

This girl is so happy about fast food, it's like she's on acid.

Now we wait until 10 more years to get this recommended *2030*

Them barely filling up the mash potato things, leaving the bottom empty triggers me lol - cus im always at the receiving end of that.

Nobody: Ctejeda92: WEDGES!

I love how happy she sounds

crazy how this was made 10 years ago and the same songs there playing are the same ones i here @ work 10 years later

Wow, this brings back memories; I used to work at a KFC in Pittsburgh YEARS ago and I was a bomb cook and my workstation @0:04 NEVER was this sloppy...sheesh! Oh and the colonel's secret recipe? Nothing but a big old bag of salt and pepper! 🤣🤣😆😆😂😂🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

Thats some good camera quality even for 9 years late (Thx so much for the likes 👍 🥰

Damn that size of the chicken. It's hard to get that chicken's size nowadays. They tend to be smaller & smaller every year.

For months now I been redeeming the buy one get one free chicken sandwich coupons that are on every chicken sandwich receipt. There's no catch or anything just answer the questions and screenshot the number at the end. Usually get one original and one spicy. Helluva deal.

This brings back memories I didn’t wanna bring back. 😅

"Fish!" Wtf kinda commentary is that? 😂

Wow, look at these great chefs making this gourmet cuisine. Wonder why Gordon never did a fast food nightmares.

I’m watching this 12 years later. UKposts was more fun then than today.

I work at the worlds first kfc and things are nothing like this anymore

I worked in KFC for a year. The manager was little bit concerned about our services. We had to wear gloves all the time.

Nice, but it didn't show the part where they fuck up your order

I love the voice of the girl when says "mashed potatos"☺😍😍😍😍

Can you tell us how the old school potato wedges were made? The ones where the skin was kinda falling off. I miss those. Thanks for the video!

KFC was always my favorite place to work. I was night cook. I always wore gloves, THO... I took home so much food after close. My fridge was stocked full OF KFC.

First job here as taste expert and quality check, damn I gained 20 kilos in 1 year tasting chicken thrice everyday.. left it 4 years ago, but did not lose the weight, thanks kfc🙏🏻

Now, in 2023, I work at KFC Russia, I hold the position of Junior Manager and I see how many deviations in food preparation standards in the restaurant, BUT, really, don’t offend us, we maintain sanitation and do not allow food to be spoiled by physical, biological and chemical items. This work is very hard and we do everything to ensure that each of our guests remains happy, well-fed and satisfied, because your smile gives us a lot of motivation to work and please you further. Junior Manager Makar, KFC Zolnaya, Russian Federation

ive been up all night and decided to search this lol

i worked at kfc once, i got my hand caught in the deeper fryer - i'm batter now.

The video I saw before this it was KFC training film. This is nothing like he showed.

Nunca experimentei, faço em casa. Parabéns aos funcionários trabalhar em um espaço pequeno , quente e barulhento mantendo a qualidade do alimento e atender o cliente com sorriso no rosto.

Legit video. Much love. Thanks for sharing!

sounds like a building site

Comment section: 85% - OMG NO GLOVES!!1111! 10% - People complaining about the people saying no gloves. 5% - Other.

Thanks UKposts.. i really needed to see this 11 years later

He blew the proper procedure for Extra Crispy . It's roll it in the flour 7 times, then press it 7 times, dip in water & repeat

You don't need gloves when the meat will be fried for 15 minutes at 277° trust me, for the tacos the guy wear gloves and not for the chiken, don't worry :)

"put it in the caaaaggee, ahh!" WTF

Whatever bacteria came from his hands is going to die in the fryer.

Oh man I remember the night I got asked to wash dishes cause our store didn't have a dishwasher for the night. I had to wash all that stuff and the buffet stuff I only had to do that once thank goodness. This was taken awhile ago they don't use styrofoam containers anymore. I worked at our KFC buffet for about four and a half years.

I spent several year's doing this. Although I was high most of the time, I was confident that I could fry the best quality crispy chicken in the entire city.

You don't need gloves to flower chicken cause it gets cooked in 350 degree oil so its fine. Learn about cooking before you worry bout wat process they wear gloves

Just about to go to sleep and I find this video of a fast food place I used to work at

The cooking cage looks interesting.

Most fast food workers get around $10.50 an hour, so if you find one with a smile, it's your lucky day.

More big food providers should actually do videos like these, food transparency, letting us get an insight. We as the general public are to trusting when it comes to big brands

i work at kfc for 10yrs this stores legit. we didnt shake the basket 7x. really old equipment even for how old the video is

12 years late but still want to watch

You know it's actually better than I thought, they dont have them in tubs, they have them in their own space, basically hard to cross contaminate, also just in general the fact they use spaces makes it feel a whole lot nicer about what you're eating.

That was an interesting behind the scene look. Thanks for posting.

Who is seeing this after 10 years

best KFC video so far thanks for the recipe

These guys were all hustling. Say what you want but physically they do a lot of work. People don't think about how stuff gets to them. Like the flour guy who just gets saturated in the stuff day in, day out. Fast Food workers deserve more pay. Yeah anyone can do the job....but can they? It might not take an education but it takes a hell of a lot more in other aspects. It's litteraly "work" and they're contributing a lot to society. Pay them a livable wage. Also for those who are saying it's dirty, it really isn't. It's the cost of doing a high level of business. It's "messy" not dirty. If you want to make an omlette you have to break some eggs. I would eat that food. There's nothing wrong with it. People are so entitled. 100 years ago do you have any idea how much worse the conditions would be? Nobody would use soap. Nobody wore gloves. The chicken meat would be sitting out at room temperature all day with flies around it, blood and guts strewn about. You should be so lucky to live in this time and age.

6 and a half minute work day? sign me up!

I love how stoked the girl is about each step. Original recipe kfc is still magic to me too darlin.😂

Needed after 11 years omg 🤣😀

it's extremely unbelievable hard work in worked there and it was continues running during ur shift they deserve much more pay

Randomly appears in my feed. Watches it all the way to the end. Lmao

Lol I like how she points out every little thing 😂😂😂😂 Wedges!!😄 Fries!!😄 Tacos!!!! 😄 Chicken!!😄 Mashed potato’s!!😄

What are they dipping the chicken into before it goes into the flour coating?

I have a lot of respect for all you fast food restaurant workers in the whole world. Hard work and not enough pay.

The KFC's in my area switched their containers from the ones you see here being filled with potatoes to the black square ones. They clearly don't give you the same amount anymore. The prices went up and the serving quantity went down. We don't go to KFC anymore for many reasons but their subtle changes and other competitors offering more for less made for an easy decision to ban KFC from our table.

Best work ever!

haha i like how she keeps announcing each new thing -- it's so cute

I really like the way the cameraman is narrating everything, very happily
