Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'fried' and 'free'. One of these is an anagram indicator, suggesting that some neighbouring fodder will be wrecked or destroyed, and rearrange in the destruction. The other is a deletion indicator - we'll need to remove some fodder from other fodder.
- This clue's fodder is 'local KFC' and 'calorie'. We'll need to find a substitute for one of these and use it with the letters of the other to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'Bucketload of chickens' - a slightly playful definition, as flagged by the question mark at the end of our clue. Our answer will be, in a way, a word for a bucketload of chickens.
