People have vowed never to eat at KFC again after an employee shared several behind-the-counter videos to TikTok showing how certain items are prepared.
The KFC employee - who uses the handle @cheddar4.7 on the social media platform - has amassed over 10,000 followers as a result of his food preparation videos - with some videos achieving more than 1 million views.
One video in particular that left social media users grossed out shows Cheddar preparing everybody's favorite KFC side: gravy.
Writing over the video, Cheddar explains: "This is not [poop emoji], this is crackling (chicken bits that comes off while in the fryer and goes to the bottom and then its placed in the fridge) [sic]".

As the video progresses, Cheddar mixes the "crackling" with water and a powder mix, until it resembles the classic KFC gravy we all know and love.
However, despite many of us knowing that the gravy is delicious - some people could not look past the preparation, and many vowed never to order it again.
"Never having gravy from KFC again," wrote TikTok user 'Rachbaps'.
This was echoed by another user who said they will "never again" eat the gravy.
Another TikTokker by the name of 'claytons chick' was more "grossed out" by the lack of gloves.
But despite the criticism, several commenters pointed out that this was simply how gravy is made.
Lavett Ballard wrote: "Obviously there is an entire generation that doesn't know how to cook! [Much] less make gravy".
And Emily Wren typed: "People saying it's grim, clearly never made gravy from scratch".
Another video showed Cheddar revealing how the KFC mini fillets were prepared.

Sadly, despite racking up 1.8 million views (as of this writing), several people just cannot handle seeing how their fast food is made.
One user typed: "I wish I hadn't seen this........ I used to love KFC."
And another TikTok user added: "This makes me not want a KFC."
However, other commenters were more concerned that Cheddar could lose their job if the TikTok user is identified.
User 'Bromerz' commented: "Be careful because you can lose your job for posting stuff like this. Some guy from [Wetherspoons] lost his job for showing how it's made."
