Days after a photo of what looked like a fried rat at a KFC outlet went viral across the globe, the global fast food chain has said it thinks the post was a hoax.

“A customer has made a serious claim against KFC in the US 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, KFC US is left to believe that he intended to deceive the public with this hoax and are considering all options.”

They also sent pictures to support their claim.
