So I got a hankering for fried chicken this weekend, 3 chicken shacks later.....:-(
 

my 1st stop was church's, they fucked up the order. gave me thighs or backs or something when i requested and paid extra for breastes. biscuits were average, good taste but dry.

2nd stop was a local *cajun* style, it was decent but they only had rolls, no biscuits, it's biscuits or waffles with fried chicken- period.

3rd stop was popeyes- $25 for 2 people! 1 piece of chicken had such an odd taste to it, i spit out the 1st bite and threw the piece away.


i guess i should of gone to kfc?

I would have hit up kfc. :2 cents:

Maybe it actually isn't quite as good as you remember.

Like a smoker trying cigarettes again to realize that they suck.

Waffles with fried chicken? Never heard of it but you have me wanting some chicken.


.

Should have gone to Roscoe's!

I don't even eat chicken and I almost went there when we were in LA :winkwink:

i found out about this gem of a meal at roscoes in oakland, ca. fuuuuuuuck!
i have not been to the one here, i should look it up and see how far it is from here.

this could be. it has been a long time. still, seems weird eh?

We've got a bunch of non chain Fried Chicken places here where I live that kick ass.

Maryland Fried Chicken FTW

Nope. You are correct.

I make my own fried chicken at home now and like it better than KFC because
they do not make it the same way they did years ago.

First thing is that almost none of the fried chicken places use lard anymore.
No way does vegetable oil make the chicken the same.
No way to make the "original-original" KFC without lard. No way!

I use vegetable oil at home but in a skillet which gives better results than a
deep fryer. Those places use deep fryers.

Not the same.

You're correct, you didn't get the quality that you are used to.

There's a KFC in the same parking lot of my grocery store.
I walk right by that motherfucker and buy raw chicken every time.

sounds frustrating. we had some awesome fried chicken at a new s.f. restaurant sat night- http://www.wayfaretavern.com very very good

I like the Swiss Chalet chickens

Yeah, nostalgia mind tricks.

The second thing is that the old fried chicken places didn't use "nuclear birds".

A KFC drum stick is twice as big now as it used to be.
These over hormone supplemented birds with crappy feed don't produce the
same taste of flesh.

The skin is thicker and the dark meat ain't even "dark" because the chickens don't even
walk anymore; and is way too fatty.
They switch out the lard to reduce saturated fat then add it all back in with
a fatty bird.

What popeyes are you eating at that costs $12.50 per person?...You can get a 3 piece combo for less than 8 bucks. You can't run fried chicken fables past a black man.

No way you did not eat fried chicken ! Haha
I'm watching the batchelor. Have you been watching it?

and who serves chicken backs?

If you're in the southeast around Atlanta or Memphis try Mrs. Winners Chicken and Biscuits

3 piece combo all breast, 3 extra biscuits + drink = $14, long beach popeye's.

i was raised on it! and i couldn't remember the last time i had any, so i figured i'd have some.

the batchelor? hell no!

Cool story...

Popeyes... day in day out the best chicken. Evar.

KFC all the way.

can you get a side of peas and carrots yet ?

Choke Your Own

You can eat chicken or you can choke your chicken

When I lived in North Carolina I used to go to Bojangles and get chicken on a biscuit w/ a sweet tea. I remember it being fucking delicious, but that was a long time ago, I don;t know if it's still as good now. Even though I don't get the chicken, every time I have a layover in Charlotte I always get my Bojangles sweet tea.

Last time I was in Orlando I saw a Bojangles AND a Del Taco.. so close, yet so far away. Nice to see this stuff coming down here though. Now all I need is Jack in the Box.

You're the last person on this board I would think would be eating fried chicken, did you wash it down with a protein shake?

4 B's - BBQ, Beer, Blues & Boobs
 

Was in Macon GA
Stopped at a BBQ
Asked for Beef (sandwich), Fires & Bud(wiser) - true test of any BBQ
Waitress said no Beer.
"Oh, it's Sunday."
"No we never serve beer. Our patrons would never allow us to sell beer."
"Tell the owner never open a BBQ in KC, you'll go broke in a day."

Homemade is the best

fuck fried chicken, if you have Nando's go there and order peri-peri or lemon herb and you'll never look back

Had an *emergency* KFC on the way back from Coventry on Saturday night and it tasted like dry old budgerigar dipped in greasy sawdust.

When ya gotta have it...

I cant afford to eat chicken...

the only kfc near me is fucked up , everytime i go in and ask for breasts they act surprised as if they are a taco bell and it is a strange request. They usually yell back to the cooks " can we do 4 breasts, no , ok how many can we do ?" , sorry we can only do 1 breast. I have never gotten more than 1 breast ever, on several occasions they have seriously said " sorry we are out of chicken, but we have chicken bowls and chicken sandwiches thats it. They should have their franchise license pulled, tried to complain but these days nobody knows anything, customer service is usually in india or some shit.

you ever hit phoenix go to lolo's chicken and waffles south of buckeye.

Oh and the same corporation that owns Church's, owns Popeyes....
