Free grilled chicken from KFC today!


KFC is introducing its long-awaited grilled chicken today, April 27 and will give away free tastes!

The fast-food chicken chain is offering a healthier poultry item as an alternative to their usual fried fare. The grilled chicken has between 70 to 180 calories and 4 to 9 grams of fat depending on the piece. That compares with skin-on fried chicken products, which have 110 to 490 calories and 7 to 31 grams of fat depending on the piece.

Try it at your local KFC and ExpoTV know what you think!

Want to stick to the fried chicken? Here’s a review of the original KFC:

5 MUST haves for Spring Cleaning

Spring has officially arrived, and while it has been teasing us a bit with some cold weather I predict warm days around the corner. A great Spring tradition is cleaning out your home to start Spring out fresh. We polled some ExpoTV members to see what their Top Spring Cleaning products are and found these 5 products came out ahead of the pack as MUST HAVES:

1.CLOROX
Members use products like the bottle of bleach to scrub everything clean and white or list other products like the handy Clorox Disinfecting Wipes or the Clorox Greenworks Natural Bathroom Cleaner Spray as must haves for Spring Cleaning.

Clorox Disinfecting Wipes - Fresh Scent

2.Windex
Windex was the second most requested item on the Spring Cleaning Must haves. Windex also carries a variety of products to keep your glass clean and streak free like the Windex Glass and Surface Wipes or just the original spray Windex Glass Cleaner.

Windex Glass and Surface Wipes Review

3.Lysol
Lysol is known for its disinfectant powers so its no surprise that it comes in both wipes, spray, and toilet bowl cleaner varieties.

Lysol Neutra Air Freshmatic Review

4.Mr. Clean
For clean floors our members turn to Mr. Clean with a plethora of products from Mr. Clean Extra Power Magic Eraser to Mr. Clean Power Multi-Surface Disinfecting Wipes (yes even more wipes!) to Mr. Clean Magic Reach.
