Or you could have cooked some fried chicken at home for less than 5 dollars?

/facepalm

There is a reason it costs more when you dont do it yourself: Because you are contracting a laborer through KFC to do it for you. This is what we like to call convenience.

Especially if you're a guy with no hands. People with no hands can't cook, so they have to hire people like contractual labor agreements at KFC for food.

Probably not if he has to buy all the ingredients needed to make the chicken and the side item he got.

How does that work? Is it one of those "whatever you can fit in the box you get for $5" deals? Do you fill them up yourself at the buffet, or do they fill them up? If the latter, how do you know how much will fit?

Oh, well that sucks.

Am I the only one who immediately jumped to the conclusion that a box with a certain dollar value and the words "fill up" associated with it would be a box you filled up yourself and payed that price for?

I went to get one once and they said I had to get potato wedges instead of green beans. don't know if it was just the incompetence at the local KFC...but I decided not to get it because of this reason.

Do you raise the chicken yourself, kill it, de-feather it and then cook it in a fryer? If not, FAIL.

LOL, I suspect that's because they're big and fat and make that big box of lame look more full.

Only if he laid the chicken egg himself.

Only if he laid the chicken egg himself.

He needs to construct a pool of primordial ooze and allow the amino acids to naturally emerge over billions of years, spawn single cell organisms, wait for billions of years of evolution to take over, maintain conditions that favor the evolutionary line leading up to the chicken, resolve the chicken/egg dilemma, spend hundreds of years domesticating it, then slaughter it and prepare it.

(Or you could ask god to summon up a plate of tasty fried chicken for you).

Honestly though, the whole "why don't you cook it yourself" snobbery is stupid. Specialized labor exists for a reason.
