No peanut butter cup can compete with Reese's for me, not the gourmet fancy ones, not Justin's (just like no fried chicken seasoning can compete with KFC, sorry, not even the Michelin-recommend top chef at Brown Sugar Kitchen, though they have the best waffles ever). Crispoy M&M's were 'not bad' but lacking in flavor; I think I recall mint were 'ok' too. The only great ones are peanut butter.

Just for kicks, if you have a Trader Joe's by you, buy a small tub of the mini Milk Chocolate PB cups. They are pretty dang awesome. But yeah, it's hard to compete with Reese's...they just have the right formula!

You are now the king of wrong tower. Rule over your domain with pride.

Nope! Enjoy your bland fried chicken batter - hey, put some on your burger with the bacon. Why not?

I guess if Popeye's didn't exist, maybe you'd be right. But it does, so you're not.

KFC chicken seasoning >> Popeye's. I will give Popeye's the edge on side dishes.

You straight up crazy, man.

I don't even care about Shake Shake burgers...the Shake Shack chicken sandwich is where it's at

I finally tried this 2 weekends ago (DT DC). I was underwhelmed. The sandwich is fine, but it's not 7 dollars fine, considering that it lacked any kind of flavor and was really fricking small.

Popeye's chicken batter doesn't even taste good. It's just sort of there. Only supermarket chicken batter is less seasoned.

Are you ordering the spicy chicken?
If not, why not?
If so... I have no idea how your tastebuds are wired, but it may merit scientific research.

No, because I hate spicy. It sounds like we agree the normal batter is flavorless. They gave me spicy by mistake once, I returned it (It also wasn't a good flavor).

Even when I've had the regular chicken there, it's still definitely better than KFC. But you only get regular when they're out of spicy. There isn't a fast food fried chicken chain that ranks below KFC (not that I'm aware of, anyway).

Wow that's too bad, the one I got was awesome & had a great buttermilk herb mayo sauce on it. Tastiest chicken sandwich I've eaten all year!

 

[Ns1]

Zin hates mayo so it should be no surprise that he hated the chicknshack.

 

[Craig234]

Just had a Del Taco double cheeseburger, it's nothing more than you'd expect from fast food but quite tasty and above average.

 

[Chaotic42]

Taco Bell's tostada (without the chipotle sauce) is the best menu item there by far. It sucks they don't do well in a carry-out situation.

Krispy Krunchy Chicken > Churches > Popeyes > KFC, that order applies to both chicken, and biscuits.

I've never had Krispy Krunchy, but I agree. I used to like this place called Cajun's, but I think they were a local chain. KFC is just so bland, I don't really see the point.

By the way, I could murder some fried chicken right now. Stupid genetics.

The chicken should be murdered before it's fried. Doing it later is just cruel.

But if it doesn't go in the fryer live, how does it know to concentrate its final energy on maximizing its deliciousness?

Can you imagine how delicious deep fried ortolan would be.

When the chicken revolution comes guys like you will be the first in the oil.

Tried the Flaming Hot Mac n' Cheetos at BK cause I love Flaming Hot Cheetos yesterday. Not terrible. :O

Of course, they also had 2 for $6 whoppers so I had my first whopper in over 5 years..
