Friend used to work at KFC. They spit in the food. Very dirty place. Not recommended.

Oh no, maybe it was a trap and the pie killed the OP. He has not reported back yet. :(

I had two Double-down "sandwiches" today. One grilled that wasn't too great, and an original, that was fresh made and near perfection.

Omm..nom..nom!

stopped at a Popeyes!!
It was IMO better than KFC!!

Popeyes uses a nice blend of seasoning... and their chicken seems alot crispier... i've put it in the fridge overnight and the next day.. it was crispy even cold.

I miss Hardee's chicken, it was pretty good when they had it, and the best peach cobbler too.

Hardee's chicken = Roy Rodgers chicken. Hardee's bought their recipe when they ran R R out of business.

or well, bought their recipe.

anyway, it was surprisingly good, and destroyed KFC ant-chicken by a wide margin.

then Hardee's got bought out by those west-coast Carl's Jr charlatans. now, they are nothing.

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.

Pioneer is damn good, have you ever had Louisiana? Not 100% but I believe there's one in LB and one in LA. It's really good, at least the one I eat at in SD is. Pioneer's uber though, the Chicken is orange from the grease or something. SHEIEIEIEIEIT I need to make a trek out to Bell Gardens soon to get some.


And my friends out in DC tell me it's all about Cluck U Chicken, I'd definitely eat there for the name alone. The food has to be win with a name like that.

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.
The bucket wicks away the geese and keeps moisture from destroying the crunchiness of the crust.

Alton brown explained this in the good eats episode fry hard.

Best fried chicken I've ever had was in Korea. 5 bucks for an entire chicken. The skin was crisp and wasn't salty at all, just had the perfect about of flavoring. Had no excess grease and overall just amazing.

Nothing beats the Swiss Chalet for chicken. And their fries are the best in the world.

I remember liking the Chalet the couple times I tried it, but I had some great fried chicken from Mary Brown's, but I don't know if they have it in the US.

That happens at every fast food place. I worked with a guy at pizza hut that used to spray cleaner on the pizzas after they came out of the oven. I have no idea how no one got seriously ill.
