POPEYES in the USA is the king of fried chicken, everything there tastes as it should.

All the fried chicken places in harlem NY (lots of black people) also makes amazing fried chicken. The popeyes there is top tier shit.. :eek:

disgraceful.you do not know fried chicken. Popeyes is only slightly better than KFC, but that's like multiplying by zero.

Bojangles is the greatest fast food style fried chicken in the US, hands down. Popeyes/KFC is to fried chicken what Budweiser is to beer.
popeyes is never top tier shit anywhere. any independent chicken shack will demolish them.

Yes, the breast meat looks and tastes like what you buy in the grocery store. They do a very good job of it here.

We used to have Church's Chicken here 10 years ago. That was very nice chicken. Big, tasty chicken at great prices.

Church's is quite good, however. a bag of jalepenos? Yes please!

diet coke > diet pepsi by a longshot.

And I'm surprised to hear this bit about the leftover fried chicken. That is one of the last foods I would eat as a leftover. However, I was reading Cooks magazine and the editor wrote a piece about picnics as a kid and he said that fried chicken was his favorite for going on picnics.

Something about that doesn't jive with me. Cold grease + breading + chicken skin = bad

cold fried chicken is very nice. People did this for decades before there was refrigeration.

KFC........delivers?!? Is this like the holy grail?

If this is true I will be dead within the year from a heart attack. I cannot resist.

Pop??? TEEHEE

Oh god..not again. :p

But seriously I think the only halfway decent diet pop / soda I have found that I might actually pay for was diet mountain dew.

Some are not bad like diet pepsi but I would prefer the normal version of about all I have tasted with perhaps the diet mountain dew but then again very few places except grocery stores have it.

They gave you diet because they thought you were too fat. Did they include a dialing wand as well?

I am curious why the chicken out of the bucket is always better than getting one of the meal combos.

It's like the bucket is a catalyst to release the uberness trapped inside the chicken.

I remember in my younger days working at KFC that there was this large (over 500lbs) man who, every Friday, would order the same thing.

5lbs of Fried Haddock
2lbs of French Fries
Two 2ltrs Diet Pepsi

Always wondered if he lost weight.

If you guys are ever in the Los Angeles area, try Pioneer chicken. I am a major fried chicken fanatic and that is the best fried chicken I have ever had by a huge margin.
