Popeye's or KFC ???

**fatnslow** · 07-26-2018, 11:43 AM

It's fucking hot and i don't feel like cooking tonight. Quick poll to see where I get my grub for tonight. Don't give a shit about the sides, just the chicken.

No contest, Popeyes. Wish there was one closer.

Sous vide might be a solution worth considering for a gourmet such as yourself.

Popeye's unless there's a supermarket that happens to have killer chickens...

^ this.

How about you stop by the produce section of your grocery store or a farm stand and get something fresh that doesn't require cooking. So much great stuff in season and tasting great right now.

Just a thought.

He didn't ask for a food lecture. It was a simple question, Popeyes or KFC?

I would get both and do a review.

Hmmm, forgot to mention wife is out of town so the kids and me are on a week long veggie protest.

To answer the question at hand: Popeye's is superior.

But I'll echo KQ: some fresh fruit + a dollop of whipped cream if you don't want to be too healthy.

Grocery store chicken if there is a good one around. KFC has been in our area for a number of years, Popeyes just opened a location and the lines are crazy the first month so far. I also here the local franchise is expensive (higher than other Popeyes from people reporting on FB.

**GeezerSteve** · 07-26-2018, 12:12 PM

Yeah, I'd rather have a Costco roast chicken over any deep fat fried heart clogger bird. Keep the carcass and bones, stew them for a few hours in a pot to make chicken stock. Better yet, roast your own chicken.

**PNWbrit** · 07-26-2018, 12:14 PM

maybe just throw some shrimp on the barbie?

**billyk** · 07-26-2018, 12:17 PM

Got me jonesing for Popeyes, so I had to check out where the nearest was. According to Yelp, the closest ones to my house (15 minute drive) both have pretty much all 1 star reviews. I have to drive 20 minutes to get to one that has decent reviews. Maybe the chain has gone downhill, at least locally. Last Popeyes I had was in Colorado last winter, and pretty good. Clean store, hot juicy chicken, no complaints. But I’d check reviews of the location your going to, because I guess it can vary a lot.

What the hell is wrong with you people today?

The poor dude just wants a bucket of fried chicken.

I don't think I could ever eat that without thinking of your avatar.

**bagtagley** · 07-26-2018, 12:22 PM

Between those, Popeye's, but I've never lived in a place that didn't have a better local option. It'll be in a questionable part of town in a crappy building and everything will have a thin patina of greasy flour.

**pepperdawg** · 07-26-2018, 12:25 PM

Dont have a Popeyes although form their commercials they look more betterer than KFC.

Our KFC is combined with a TacoBell.......so good to mix and match genre's (sp) in the unhealthiest way possible.

**digitaldeath** · 07-26-2018, 12:26 PM

get your fried chicken from the truck stop i know you live by

**Marshall Tucker** · 07-26-2018, 12:29 PM

The publix near us has pretty good fried chicken, which is what the wife always goes gets.

Given the choice, a big ass thing of KFC popcorn chicken FTW.

Have you ever had that fried goodness from Ezells

This !!! Train always comes off the rail in the padded room. I have a local.place around the corner that is rated the best in PDX but it's fucking slow as hell and find it pretty over rated.

**billyk** · 07-26-2018, 12:51 PM

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.

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.
