And now you can see for yourself just why the goofy paleontologist loved the infamous 'Moist Maker' sandwich so much as you can recreate it at KFC using a secret menu hack.

The trick uses just three menu items from the chain and costs £6.37 - but the turkey is replaced with chicken.

You can make a Moist Maker at KFC by buying a Fillet Burger, a Mini Fillet Burger and a pot of gravy. You use the bread from the mini fillet as the third layer of bread in the middle, which you soak in the grvay

Friends fans should order a Fillet Burger, a Mini Fillet Burger and a pot of gravy if they want to recreate the famous sandwich.

The hack even includes the crucial middle layer of gravy-soaked bread that Ross dubs the 'Moist Maker'.

It's perfect if you're not making your own Thanksgiving feast this year, and will be without delicious leftovers. 

How to recreate the Moist Maker at KFC

1. Remove the top bun from the Fillet Burger. 

2. Pour a layer of gravy over the chicken fillet. 

3. Add the base of the Mini Fillet Burger on top of the chicken, before adding another layer of gravy. 

4. Add the mini fillet of chicken on top of the bread, before adding (you guessed it) another layer of gravy. 

5. Place the Fillet Burger bun on top of the chicken. 

6. Press down on the bun to let the gravy goodness cover the whole sandwich.

This isn't the first fast food secret menu hack to go viral.

There's also the Hawaiian chili chicken melt, which takes the simple chicken burger and adds extra cheese, chili jam and pineapple.

Frings - This best-of-both-worlds alternative to chips sees half the fries dumped out of the carton and replaced with a side of onion rings. Simple but effective, Hack The Menu describes Frings as 'the cherry on top of the Burger King Secret Menu'. $1.69 (£1.08) for a small

Fries with Big Mac sauce - Customers can simply ask for a small pot of the famous Big Mac secret sauce to dip their fries in, and, according to Hack the Menu, it's usually free.

The All American Burger and Fries with Big Mac Sauce: More familiar to older customers of McDonalds, the All American burger is simply without cheese and harks back to a simpler time for the fast food giant.

STARBUCKS  

Liquid Cocaine - This customer-invented beverage is supposedly 'one of the most intense drinks you can get, it's guaranteed to shock your system'.

SUBWAY

Pizza Sub - While briefly on the main menu during 2012, the Pizza Sub has disappeared off the advertising boards to become a stalwart on the secret menu.

Essentially two Pepperoni Toasties stacked on top of each other, it's a product best aimed at the particularly hungry. The price is variable between outlets, but Hack the Menu assures readers the 'taste sensation' is more than worth it. - Price varies with location.

Old Cut - Not in any way a new dish, it is, in fact, the old way Subway used to cut their sandwiches. At some point over the last decade, the policy somehow changed from cutting down from the top to cutting in from the side.

The Hack the Menu team suggest finding an artisan familiar with the old style as a top-down cut somehow helps the sandwich hold onto the ingredients better. - Normally priced subs

Wing Effect - Again a change in presentation rather than content. This is for people who like to go at their sandwich one ingredient at a time. Simply ask your sandwich maker to leave the meat closer to the edge of the bread, so it hangs out the side, and voila - wing effect. - Normally priced subs.
