Jennifer Lopez told “Access Hollywood“ she LOVES Kentucky Fried Chicken, prompting the restaurant chain to make J-Lo a crispy proposition: an “all access” pass to any KFC location of their choice, where she and husband Marc Anthony could presumably feed their chicken cravings to their heart’s delight.

The generous offer comes after the singer/actress/perfume and clothing mogul mentioned she and hubby Marc Anthony, also a best-selling singer, often request a big bucket of KFC in their tour bus after shows.

Anthony revealed to Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson that “I can’t eat anything else after a concert,” while Jenny from the Block said she longed for a fried chicken leg smothered in the Colonel’s secret recipe every night but had to restrain herself to keep her much-touted curves in check.

“I can’t eat like Marc,” she said. “I mean he is every single freakin’ night with the Kentucky Fried Chicken. People were like, ‘What about the tour bus, Jennifer, was that hard?’ I’m like, no. The Kentucky Fried Chicken was the killer.”

J-Lo might want to watch her infamous posterior, since in 2005 her love of KFC got her into hot water with the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who say KFC isn’t kind to their chickens.
