Edit: Looks like us fatasses broke the website.

It now takes me to an Oprah.com page with a download link for a PDF file containing the coupon. Word of warning - the bar code on it isn't unique, but it's on Oprah's site so it should be legit.

Text

Limit one offer per coupon, one coupon per person during offer period. Must be redeemed in person. Not good with any other offers. No photocopied, mechanically reproduced or altered coupons accepted.

Well, there really is no "free" lunch

By having this promotion, KGC wants you to buy their product the next time around.

Got 4 coupons earlier and gave 2 away to co-workers. Tried getting more but the page was down. Stopped with my son after work and there was short line and 3/4 of them had printed coupons. Seems popular.

Apparently - you guys broke the website. :)

But... fear not... apparently THIS qualifies as well. It's from the Oprah website, looks like a generic bar code. But it's linked on there. Should be good to go!

Thanks. This will fall off of Oprah's site tomorrow at 10pm, though. If the original site is down, and anyone needs the coupon, pm me. I have it saved on my flash drive.

I love me some chicken!

The manager of the store I was at was telling his employees not to accept coupons with the same barcode, in other words they had to be different. I can see this being a potential issue if stores aren't able to redeem duplicates.

Apparently the employees are using some kind of scanner, so I think the scanner will be programed to pick up on Oprah's bar-code. But then again, who knows.

The store located here didn't have a scanner. They were just stapling receipts to the coupons. I'm sure that will vary from store to store.

So... is this actually grilled chicken, or did they just peel the skin off their fried chicken and use a brown magic marker to draw grill lines?

Heh... it's made in a high temperature oven with grill plates that give it those lines. Imagine an industrial size George Foreman grill, and you'll have the right idea.

For anyone who has printed more than 1 coupon by installing the program, are the serial numbers under the barcode the same for all or are they different?? I'm guessing they're different but if someone can confirm for me, that'd be appreciated. thanks.

I doubt that it would really matter at most places... They don't bother to scan the coupons at the place I went to.

A friend of mine was able to successfully take this coupon to an El Pollo Loco and use it. He said they gave him a similar meal including a drink free.

Did anyone save a scan of the coupon? The site appears to be either getting hammered with hits or taken down. Thanks!

Had it tonight and the grilled chicken is pretty good in my opinion. I printed off the pdf which ends in 1234 and my friend has the same code when he saved his pdf last night (I linked him to unthinkkfc.com)... and I don't know if they're scanning these.
