But as ABC News reported, the meat was sent for testing at an independent lab and the results came back that the food in question was a chicken tender and not a rat as the customer claimed.

Devorise Dixon has reportedly refused to speak directly with KFC, WTVR reported, and has not return requests by ABC News to speak with him.
