El Feo Kern: hmm...
Gerry - you present a good case.
I am also rather interested in that unholy goo's taste.
BUT you should never have to question the Physical state of fried chicken.
just as a general culinary rule (which I have included below).
Culinary Rules
Section 76:
#187,229 -
Fried chicken, which is being prepared for human consumption, should never reach a physical state of matter other than 'Solid'. If said chicken can be 'poured' then the person responsible for such an atrocity should be beaten to death with the instrument from whence the pourable chicken came. Once that has been done then the area surrounding the site of the abomination must be cleansed with fire (upto, but not limited to: One square mile). This is the only proper method for such a monsterous act to be atoned
It's in there... i promise.
