Is Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits good?

[KidNiki1]

I was in St Pete Beach Florida last week for vacation and thought the fried chicken at the Publix grocery store was the best fried chicken I've ever ate. Better than KFC, better than Popeyes. My girlfriend agreed that Publix fried chicken was the best she had as well.

This. x a million

Publix chicken > *

Bush's > Popeyes

Bush's >>> KFC > Churchs >>> Popeyes

Yes.

Too bad there's none in the Blacksburg area.

The Hardee's there used to serve fried chicken.. not no mo

I'm going to have to reply yes, yes, and yes. In that order. It is good. It is inexpensive. And generally speaking it is full of gangsters.

I've wanted to try it ever since this. None near me.

I do have a Bojangles within walking distance though.

You lucky bastard. There are no other fried chicken options for you, then. ...even if there were 10 "competing" joints.

Hardee's used to have awesome fried chicken. It was Roy Roger's recipe.

then the Carl's Jr fuckwads took over.

I really need to try an American "biscuit" because it looks like a scone, but a scone would not go with chicken. :hmm: I'm intrigued now.

A good biscuit is butter and salt held together with a little flour. :awe:

No.

A decent recipe, though it's better if you use half shortening, half lard.

I didn't like it when I tried it, but its new to Canuckistan so maybe it was just weak sauce that day. Infact I have not gone back in like the 7-8 months since I've tried it. And I love chicken too.

Pretty poor market penetration in Canada when they only have Popeyes in Toronto, and a few places in Montreal and Vancouver.

You mean there is some place other than Toronto Montreal and Vancouver in Canada?

I like lots of food, but only two am I truly passionate about:
BBQ (I hail from the birthplace of BBQ; so it's in my blood)
Fried Chicken. The west coast is a sad, sad place.

Huh, I didn't know you hailed from Texas. All this time I thought you were from the Carolina's.




:biggrin: I keed, I keed!

no! their chicken taste like water! no taste! no flavor!

their biscuit is ok.... creamy inside rough on outside. taste good actually. their mash patato is unique and different.... it looks like pork ground meat in their mash patato and taste kindda spicy. some people prefer plain ol mash patato like kof and churches chicken but im ok with it... but if choose... plain ol mash patato more.

again their chicken is 1 out of 10. even churches chicken taste better and churches is way cheaper.

popeyes cost about same price as kfc.... probly 1,2 dollar lesser but still about the same amount yet taste like water!


kfc best taste but most expensive. popeyes taste like water yet expensive. churches chicken is best bang for buck. taste ok and very cheap price!

Too bad you don't get the "Chinooks" that we get in Alberta. Those warm winds in the depth of winter are very welcoming.
