The California man says he bought a three-piece box of chicken tenders from KFC, and when he took a bite of one of them, it was ” hard and rubbery” and generally disgusting, so he spit it out, reports CNN [link leads to auto-play video].

He told radio program The Randy Economy Show that he took photos and put the tender in the freezer, and went back to the restaurant, where the manager “freaked out” and confirmed that it was a rat, apologized and offered him a free meal. It’s unclear, however if he showed the manager a photo of the rat-shaped tender or brought in the actual tender.
He’s since posted a video as well as photos of the tender to Facebook that has been shared more than 4,000 times. He reportedly refused the free meal offer and instead says he’s lawyering up.
However, KFC responded on Facebook and also told CNN in a statement that the company hasn’t been able to get in touch with the customer to verify his claim.
“We have made various attempts to contact him but he is refusing to either talk to us personally or through a lawyer. Nor has he come forth with the chicken piece in question for verification,” the company told CNN.
On Facebook, the company adds that its “chicken tenders often vary in size and shape” and that it’s “aggressively trying to reach” the customer so they can test the product at an independent lab.
