KFC — Restaurant in Desert Hot Springs

I found myself in DT DHS with 45 minutes to kill so I decided to have lunch at the local KFC on Palm Ave. I had heard that they brought back the "boxes" like after COVID. And I wanted to check them out. I couldn't find them on the outside menu board but fortunately the young lady on the speaker asked if I wanted to try the new $7 Box meal. I said yes and asked her what was in it. She said there was a 2 piece and 3 piece. I asked about the 2 piece. She told me what was in it and I told her that's what I would have. The car at the window was just leaving and I pulled up and offered my credit card. It was taken and charged and returned to me. She gave me my Pepsi and my bag of food. I pulled into the parking lot and began to eat my meal. The first thing I noticed was how huge the mashed potatoes were. According to the menu they are 8 oz of potato and gravy. That's incredible seeing as the menu used to include maybe a 4 oz serving (if not 3). The next thing I looked for was my spork. There it was. Tasted the potatoes and they were good but just a wee bit off. Maybe they put a little more pepper in the recipe. Still good tho. Then on to the chicken. I feel so sorry for the young chicken that lost its life for my meal box. The drumstick was tiny. 3 bites at most. Tasted again a bit off. Maybe another recipe change. Not bad just not exactly as I remember it being. But the size of the drumstick was so small, I decided to take a photo of it. It should be attached here. The thigh however was a perfectly proper size for a fried chicken thigh. Again tasty. The addition to the menu were 2 bites of a baked apple pie item that got most of its flavor from the same place the original McDonald's apple pie got its flavor because they tasted almost identical and that's not a bad thing at all. Looking forward to getting the bigger version. As I said I liked the food. Without the drumstick being miniature they would have gotten...
