If I get the urge for bought fried chicken, I usually run by Popeye's as theirs is actually still pretty good. Most of the time if I want chicken at home, I mix up an egg yoke with a little buttermilk, dredge the chicken in that, then coat it with a combination of Kellogg's Corn Flake Crumbs and Kentucky Colonel Seasoned Flour, then pop it in the over for about 30 minutes on 350 degrees. Comes out crispy and juicy with no frying involved. If I want to add a little sweetness to the bird, I'll actually pulverize some Cap'n Crunch and toss it in with my Corn Flake Crumbs. Good eats for sure!

sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon. -
Dwayne has called it right--KFC is delicious when prepared well, but there is so little consistency from shop to shop. It can be awfully greasy. I do want to try the GA version though--I love mustard.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Many great restaurants and mom & pop fried chicken eateries to be found here, just like in your areas...sigpicComment

I do all of the cooking at home and I occasionally make fried chicken. It's really good.

I like Popeye's quite a bit. The whole chain pulled out of the area for about 10 years, and itjust came back last year. I was told the chain took away the franchise from the company that held it in the area, and it took that long to get someone new to take it over. When the first new one opened in nearby Lexington, near our local comic shop, the drive-thru line was backed up for literally hours! We had to wait a few months for the crowds to die down to give it a try. Good stuff.

A few things that makes Popeye's number 1 in my book.
Love the coating - melts in your mouth and not overly hard and crunchy
Chicken itself is better quality and super juicy (not greasy juicy) --- white meat pieces aren't weird gray color like sometimes at KFC.
Sides are GREAT --- Cajun rice tastes just like the filling in mom's stuffed peppers.... Beans and rice is yummy too.
Have some fried shrimp dishes that are pretty tasty.
Finally, compared to KFC, Popeye's is CHEAPER !!!Comment

I love Popeye's, and their side dishes are awesome as Mikey says. I order the tenders, not the pieces, though.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Having said that...tenders dipped in sauce solves that problem, ha...
Who here likes Boston Market? I dig it, tasty and juicy rotisserie chicken.
But my favorite chicken from a large chain has to be Pollo Loco, delicious Mexican-style grilled chicken...a thousand times better than KFC's grilled chicken...a thousand times, lol...sigpicComment

I use sauces, Hec. Popeye's has some terrific ones. I'd buy the Mardi Gras Mustard by the bottle if I could.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
