“I am sending pictures of a family size crispy fried chicken that we bought and it only had 3 pieces in it. I would like reimbursement or some type of compensation…

 … Normally when we buy it it has 7-9 pieces. very disappointed this got passed your quality control…”

Another Banquet Meals complaint was about the poor quality and taste of the chicken. The customer was dissatisfied that there was barely any chicken breast rather it was a crust and fat.

“…Quality and taste of chicken was horrible. Nothing but crust and fat and the crust wasn't even good. Had to throw it away because nobody could or would eat it…”
