Eating from KFC and McDonalds in Muslim countries

Q:

1. Are we allowed to eat meat from food outlets such as KFC, McDonalds and other local outlets in Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Turkey?

2. Also, when eating from a local outlet is it ok to trust the individual if he says the food is halal?

3. Also, I have contacted Delphin Hotel in Turkey, Antalya regarding if their meat is halal or not and they replied by saying that they produce their own meat which is cut according to shariah slaughter and I asked for proof and they sent me a video showing how the meat was cut and it seemed legitimate, they also said that if I was to come to the hotel they will show me how the processes in their slaughterhouse, is it permissible to trust them?

Staying away from doubtful meat

Q: I would like to enquire whether we can trust MJC and NIHT. Reason being there seems to be a lot of doubt with these as compared to SANHA. It makes me wonder how all the meat supplied to Mc Donalds and KFC can be halaal as there is a lot of animals that would be slaughtered and to slaughter an animal in compliance with shariah takes more time and care so how do we know that these animals are being slaughtered accordingly?

Halaal and haraam meat

Q: I would like to know about meat or chicken for selling in non-muslim shops cooked or uncooked. Are Muslims allowed to buy that meat or chicken?  Can Muslims go to Mcdonalds in non-muslim countries? I heard that chicken can be halaal for Muslims living in western countries to eat in Mcdonalds and to buy in non muslim shops because chicken don't have a lot of blood compared to other animals. Is this true? How can I know which meat is halaal and which haraam while living in a western country? I am really confused about this matter and it makes it hard for me to chose the right food. Can you please explain this to me?
