Popeye's or KFC ???

[fatnslow]

KFC can be a decent option, too, and not too unhealthy if you pull the skin off. But their pieces tend to be tiny.

I’ll never forget the time, though, when my wife and I stopped at a KFC in Centralia, WA, while on a road trip. We ordered 4 breasts, and they refused to give them to us! Said we’d be hogging all the breasts from other customers! Weird. Never ran into that before, or after.

What's the point of eating fried chicken WITHOUT the skin ?

[glademaster]

Yes, of course, probably a couple hundred pounds over of the years. Ezell's is far better than KFC or Popeye's. But I still prefer my own roast chicken, which got even better when our new home came with a convection oven. My dry rub is simple: Johnny's Salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Rub outside and cavity of bird lightly with olive oil then with dry rub, then allow bird to reach room temperature. First 10 minutes @450F then turn down to 300F until breast meat is 170F.

I'll just leave this here...

Yeah, I know...

How about a cardiology consult?

already bought a DIY artery clean kit attachment for a dremel on Ebay for less than the price of specialist copay.

"One thing you won't find in Popeyes' new kitchen: salads. Bachelder thinks rivals promote health food for p.r. purposes. "I'm not trying to solve the world's problems here," she argues."

I like this lady.

Google reveals that she is now gone, and Popeyes got sold to Burger King. May explain the declining state of affairs with some of the franchises local to me. Can’t think of a worse burger place than the king.

Check out the livers. Worth the wait.



Never had a late nite Church's Chicken 3-piece dinner with a side of jalapenos W. of the Mississippi. But I loved it in college.
(All commercial chicken west of the Miss. is inferior until demonstrated otherwise.)



I have a neighbor who raises laying hens and sells eggs. It's nice to hear them chickens every now and then.

I'm sure Mrs. Pruitt would be happy to answer that question.

back in the day when I worked at the local country club in the deep south they would fry tons of chicken put it in the colandar with this big grate thing, paper towels lining the bottom below the grate. the skin would fall through and I would eat every damn bit of that skin. most awesome thing until KFC came up with popcorn which is essentually the same thing.

Have fond memories of bojangles but it's hard to find where I am now.

The last time I got a bucket of chicken from KFC I was highly offended by what I saw. First off, it was only a half bucket because the chicken was so small the meat didn't even reach the rim.

I picked up what I thought was a wing and it turned out to be a thigh, I picked up a breast and it was a fragment, all bone no meat. I love original recipe but fuck KFC and their downsizing.

Popeyes is not much better, more meat but heavy breading to pad the scale. Plus the spices are half ass milktoast either go all in or stop pretending you are from New Orleans.

Personally I go for local or the grocery stores, Safeway, King Soopers, Publix or if you are lucky enough to be near one, Gus's World Famous, the best fried chicken in the world.

It's about the rub making chemical changes to the skin and meat, not about cooking time/temp.

[Soups]

Popeyes in a pinch, but like stated above nothing really beats grocery store fried chicken for some reason. Although it can be dry at times.

Also...day old cold fried chicken>hot fried chicken

[dunfree]

over any deep fat fried

find a place that uses a pressure cooker, correctly, to fry the chicken.

chicken needs to be fresh & hot, which is where grocery store fails.

[::: :::]

our grocery store is right next too a KFC
we don't ever go there, but the smell is insidiously tempting...how do they make it smell that good?

like popcorn in a theater...just some sort of crack/meth of desire that leaves you ultimately disappointed afterwards
