it will take a lot more than a few feathers to scare me away from a piece of good fried chicken! LOL

a hair in your food, is a foreign object to the food. a feather is not. apple and a orange.

I was in Mexico last year with a church group. They served us box lunches to eat on the bus so we could get to a concert venue on time....the boxes were from Pollo Frio Kentucky....two chicken legs in my box...each with the foot still attached....I think just a feather is unappetizing but not unsanitary...

After having that I decided to try it at two different close by Albertson’s in Houston where I lived at the time. NOT the same at all .... go figure ...
I don’t care for any of the chicken places anymore. Used to like KFC, but now, no.
And, all the grocery stores around here - well frankly, their chicken sucks.
Never had any feather issues though...
Frying is messy, but you can’t beat homemade!
@CAMOGIRL. I'm not impressed by the fried chicken at my local Albertson's in the Albuquerque area either. Got some two weeks ago and it was over-cooked and very dry. I love their deli potato salad.

That wouldn't have bothered me at all. It's part of a chicken, and not an unappetizing part. At least not IMO.
But if I was upset by something re food, there's no way I would go back and buy more from the same place. Once I'm put off by something, that's the end of it. I would never feel confident buying it there again.
I'm with those who have said it's much ado about nothing. I certainly wouldn't be all up in arms and calling the Health Dept.

Guess you never lived on a farm & killed your own chickens. It is hard to pluck all those feathers & not miss one.

I read last week, that they are sold whole chickiens by a distributor that are past the sold-by date for the purpose of selling fried chicken parts or a whole roaster. How far past that date are they even safe; and is the temp they are kept at enough to prevent bacteria?
The reason these are cheaper than buying a fresh chicken is the same. GROSSED me out!
