SOLVED: Mysterious KFC Fried Rat Claim Turns Out To Be FALSE

Last week, it was reported a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Los Angeles supposedly served a customer a piece of fried…rat. Devorise Dixon posted a photo of what looked to be a deep-fried rat on social media. The image when viral, sparking a massive debate over the authenticity of the meat.

The Los Angeles Times reports that KFC have since examined that piece of meat and confirmed that it is, in fact, a piece of chicken. Through a third-party lab, the suspicious meat was identified to be poultry that came out fried in an unfortunate shape.

Another photo of the chicken was released exposing white meat where a bite was taken from it.

KFC have now asked Dixon for an apology and to stop making false claims towards the brand. According to the Times, the restaurant location Dixon claimed to have purchased the meat from could not find him as a customer on security cameras.

Dixon had retained an attorney who turned the meat over to the company for testing.
