. . . that could work . . .
But a deep-fried triple bacon-cheese whopper withwould be better

Don't laugh! I've seen it done on the "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" show on the Food Channel. Looked tasty, although they used fresh hamburger instead of whopper patties.
Oh I know that, deep fried burgers are (sadly) reasonably common.
At least the deep fried mars bars are rarer!

Because I'm sure the assistant manager on the afternoon shift is going to know all kinds of inside info.

Exacly. Just like we are all sure that someone somewhere in the intarwebs is making an assumption about something or someone they don't even know.
Happens all the time.
How do you know that OptimusPrime isn't the assistant manager and has the wherewithal to kick some ass and take some names among the higher up suit types to get his information?
I have an interesting question about this beef infusion situation. The local KFC has their kitchen visible to the customers and, they use fresh chicken for all their meals. I never saw any beef products in that kitchen. Could they be using beef broth made from beef boullion for their flavoring? If so, does that even count as being beef? To me, it doesn't. Its more like seasoning to me, which I think tastes pretty good in their grilled chicken BTW. 
My favorite is still the crispy chicken strips.

KFC is interesting food.
I eat there maybe once every five years. I get a craving where I just gots to have me some Col.
I eat it and the original recipe tastes pretty good, but after about 10 minutes I start feeling really light headed and weird.
I think I know what they're including as one of the 11 secret herbs

I can't help but think of Chik-fil-A and their advertisements with the cows trying to encourage people to eat chicken instead of beef. I know they are not the subject of the study but I'd find it humorous if they used beef flavoring to enhance the taste of their chicken. If I was one of those cows, I'd be pissed! 
Where's the beef!?
"He's been sitting on that one all day! Perfect usage of 'Where's the beef?'! Perfect!"
Good move on KFC's part. I'm not much of a fan of chicken. Beef would help liven things up a bit.

At the concentrations listed, you'd never see it. It is 0.2% by weight or less of a "topical seasoning". In order to maintain process control, these seasonings are likely manufactured in a central processing plant in the powder form, which means everything has been ground, combined, etc. to make a decent consistency that will spread over the product (chicken) suitably. You'd see the end product in the KFC kitchen, such as the ubiquitous white tub of seasoning found in food service.
For anyone wanting to see the information for themselves, it is posted on the KFC website. The list of ingredients is impressive.
