My rankings:

1. Popeyes - definitely my favorite
2. Raising Cains - very good but wildly overpriced
3. BoJangles - They only lasted about year here in Pigsknuckle back in the late 80s. I know I ate there at least once but I don't remember much about it
4. Chick Fil A, Churches, El Pollo Loco - Never ate at any of them but all are most certainly better than KFC
5. KFC - So awful I ranked 3 places I've never eaten at above them

Been in Louisiana and Mississippi for work this past week. Keep seeing this raising canes. Is it really that good? Is it spicy or just regular chicken strips? Might have to try it over the next couple days? What's the sauce like? Looks kind of like the Mardi Gras mustard from Popeyes.

Thread needed to end right here.

It's worth trying but it's not a place I'd eat at often because of the prices. The sauce is definitely the highlight of the meal.

What the hell?

I havent eaten at a KFC in over a decade. Its been surpassed

Annie's is better than Mary's. The one east of Girard is better than the ones in Pittsburg/Yale.

Pizza Ranch

I've tried Go Chicken Go recently. It was OK. I really liked the chicken strips at Slim Chicken in Independence better. It was hot tender and tasty, like me.

Which gcg?

7th street is the.best imo

Its gotta be Popeyes... crispy, not too greasy and just the right amount of spicy heat

It's just off I-635 between I-35 and I-70, think maybe Shawnee is the street exit? Had a two piece breast -they cut the chicken different than other places- and it was good. Their red sauce is funky, taste like something you'd get in a Chinese restaurant. Mashed taters tasted like instant to me.

Best Chicken Strips in town are Stroud's hands down. But they are pricey.

Shawnee drive.

That's my least favorite.

And I love their go sauce, I keep a bottle on hand

All in all, I thought it was a good value. I'd go back, but I don't go by that way at night (coming home from work) unless there's a wreck on I-35 I have to work around.

Go Chicken Go, bitches.......

Go Chicken Go beats Stroud’s to win The Star’s fried chicken tournament


Winner winner, chicken dinner.

After tallying more than 6,600 votes in the fourth and final round of our monthlong fried chicken tournament, we’re ready to crown Kansas City’s king of fried chicken.

In a decisive victory, Go Chicken Go beat Stroud’s with 70 percent of the popular vote.

Go Chicken Go, a locally owned fast-food chain known for fried gizzards and G-Sauce, was founded in 1969 in a gas station at 59 N. Seventh St. in Kansas City, Kan.

Owner Alex Lowe says the secret to Go Chicken Go’s success is fresh, never frozen chicken, affordable prices and dedicated employees. He adds that all five locations have at least one employee who has worked for Go Chicken Go for more than 20 years.

“Not much has changed at Go Chicken Go in 30 years,” Lowe says. “But I think that’s a positive, and it’s part of what our customers come back for.”

Go Chicken Go beat 15 other restaurants to win The Star’s monthlong fried chicken tournament, which racked up more than 20,000 votes.
