A Facebook post alleging that KFC had served a 'fried rat' instead of fried chicken to a US customer has been making the rounds on social media.

Devorise Dixon, who lives in Watts, California posted a photo on his Facebook page that looks like a breaded rodent.

Alongside the pictures, Devorise wrote: "As I bit into it I noticed that it was very hard and rubbery which made me look at it. As I looked down at it I noticed that it was was in a shape of a rat with a tail."

"Went back to KFC yesterday and spoke to the manager she said it is a rat and apologized, it's time for a lawyer!!! besafe don't eat fast food !!!," he added.

KFC's official social media pages have been flooded with questions on the accuracy of the news. KFC has been responding to all the questions with the following message.

"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."

While KFC's statement contradicts Dixon's claims, questions are being asked on why Dixons hasn't filed a lawsuit yet.
