Dixon says he put the item in the freezer and returned to the restaurant with photos and his purchase receipt.
In a Facebook post, Dixon wrote, " Went back to KFC yesterday and spoke to the manager, she said it is a rat and apologized, it's time for a lawyer. Be safe, don't eat fast food."

KFC's Facebook page has been flooded with photos of Dixon's meal, and the company has responded to several posts, saying they are willing to work with Dixon to resolve the situation.
On one occasion KFC responded by saying. " KFC takes customer claims very seriously, and we are trying to investigate this matter. Our chicken tenders often vary in size and shape, and we currently have no evidence to support this claim. We are aggressively trying to reach Mr. Dixon, and we request that he return to the restaurant with the product for testing, or call us at 1-800-Call-KFC."
Later KFC added to their response with the following:
"KFC has made various attempts to contact this customer, but he is refusing to talk to us directly or through an attorney. Our chicken tenders often vary in size and shape, and we currently have no evidence to support this allegation. We have extended the opportunity to have an independent lab evaluate the product at our own expense, but the customer refuses to provide the product in question."

It's something you joke about but don't ever think will happen. You go to a restaurant and get served what looks like a deep-fried rat. At least that's one customer's story.
California security guard Devorise Dixon says he bought a 3-piece box of tenders at a KFC in LA. He appeared on a radio show in which he described taking a bite.
"Very hard and rubbery," he described. "It was very nasty. I spit it out. I looked down at my hand and I realized that it was in the shape of a rat with a tail and everything in it."

Dixon posted photos on his Facebook page and he put the tender in the freezer. He says he returned to the restaurant with photos and his receipt.
"The manager actually freaked out, confirmed that it was a rat," Dixon said. "She apologized for it. They actually just offered me a free meal."
Which he says he declined. He says he's lawyering up.

KFC Issued this Statement:
"A customer has made a serious claim against KFC and refuses to cooperate in the investigation. The images the customer originally posted do not include this second angle because it clearly shows it's a piece of hand-breaded white meat chicken. Based on this, and the fact that he refuses to allow anyone to see the product, we are left to believe that he intended to deceive the public with this hoax and we are considering all options."
What do you think? Is the man lying or is KFC just trying to save face?
