that's a different bucket of chicken

An expression used to explain two seemingly similar things that are actually two different things all together.

Fried chicken recipes are numerous, and almost common in all cultures, but quite unique from one another. KFC, a common chain globally dealing in fried chicken, buckets chicken.

Sometimes you want extra tasty crispy, but the bucket is actually original blend. You'd want to know that's a different bucket of chicken before diving in.

Using this same thought process, we can make an analogous comparison to other seemingly similar things that might actually be quite different entirely.
