Ive been in a Popeyes kinda mood lately. Spicy!



KFC
Chick Fil A
Popeyes
Raising Cains
Churches
El Pollo Loco
BoJangles

Others?


What do you turn to when the mood hits?

You forgot the McChicken

didnt we cover this a month ago.

basically C Sanders is trash. I agree because ive had it.

but other chicken places actually try but I havent tried them yet myself.

I dont want pollo loco. I want breaded or flower skin on mine

Go chicken go

Zankou Chicken
Roro's
El Pollo Loco

Does the chicken in the deli of Price Chopper count? It's cooked and it's hot.

Raising Cains
BoJangles

never heard of either

BoJangles
-where is the racist lawsuit for this one?

Nothing close around here, but when traveling and the guilty mood hits, KFC original.


I just have to post this since this is a chicken thread. We finally went through Pittsburg, Kansas yesterday at a time when "Chicken Annie's" was open. It was awesome, they are not afraid to charge though. In addition to our meals, we took 6 pieces to go at $3 each.
Last time I was in there was 1961 on a hunting trip with Dad. Going to try Chicken Mary's next time.

Bojangles boberry biscuits may be one of the best fast food items ever made.

Here in Louisiana, I get my chicken at Raisin' Canes.

I'll allow it.

+1.

They're putting a Raisin'' Canes in Westport so I'll try that soon.

Good stuff!

That dippin' sauce finna change your life, bruh.

I'm looking forward to trying it

Popeyes if I want real chicken, love the spicy. Chick Fil A if I want nuggets. Damn though Chicken Annies and Chicken Marys has some of the best chicken ever.

Popeyes for me usually. The wife is a KFC fan, for their sorry ass potatoes and gravy of all things.

I don't know why anyone would eat at Churches.

Pollo Campero-Their chicken rocks. Always crispy, never greasy. Yucca fries also very good.

This is a local small chain here in the DMV but they do rotisserie style Peruvian chicken which is the bomb!

Chic fil a. The best

Popeyes is decent. I like their biscuits and red beans and rice. Don't eat much fried chicken anymore.

El pollo rey if im not looking for fried

Go Chicken Go

Ive had nothing but KFC but the last time was like 6 months ago.

never again

Zaxby's is good.

Go Chicken Go
The North End
Niecie's
Gus's

There isn't a chicken place close to me. I grab it at the grocery store deli section. There are two KFC places within easy driving distance and I avoid them, they suck. The last chicken place I went to was Popeye's. If there was one here I'd go. So 1) Popeye's and 2) Grocery store deli.

Pollos Hermanos

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.

The fam and I agree: KFC has really gone downhill over the last decade or so. It's become a no go.

I like Popeye's spicy. I like Chick Fil A, but don't consider it a fried chicken place.

The Publix deli has good bird, IMO.

Truth. Their chicken is so good that it makes me wonder why they even bother with their mediocre pizza.

If cooked and hot is all it takes, Costco.

Popeyes.

Popeyes generally

But there is a place in NJ called Chicken and Rib Crib. I haven't been there in years, but it used to be awesome.

That dippin' sauce finna change your life, bruh.

I haven't had Pizza Ranch in years.

The chicken is just decent. It's all strips. The menu is very limited.

When I looked up the recipe online, the sauce is a ketchup/mayo mix with some Worcherstire, black pepper, and other stuff thrown in. It's good, though. I usually get extra to dip my fries in as well.

Spot on.

Your a fool if you are eating thier shitty pizza

I know it's not logical, but I don't consider Chick-fil-A a chicken place, at least not in the traditional sense.

It's bomb as ****, though.

Those waffle fries...

With good reason. I can't imagine spending money to eat that trash.

Only fast food chicken I'll eat is chipotle or pepperjax chicken rice bowl or Wendy's grilled chicken wrap

The Costco rotisserie chicken is good for salads and enchiladas

I don't usually seek out fast food chicken. Is Boston Market fast food?

My wife uses the Wal-Mart rotisserie chickens the same way.

I would say so.

I lean towards Church's because I am more of a fan of the sides than the chicken itself. If I just want good chicken, I'll jist make it myself and do it better. The buttery honey biscuit game is definitely on point.

Always thought Popeyes sides game was meh. I ate a famous bowl at KFC around 10 years ago and had uncontrollable shits for the next 12 hours.

Eventually discovered that The Brew Top did a better take of it but the LS location closed :(

Popeyes smells amazing

There a Popeye's about .9 miles from my house and in 13 years, I've never tried it.

KFC left the 'Wood a decade ago, so when choosing to eat chicken out, it's tacos or Mediterranean food, which is fine by me.

:D

Blue Springs... Sweet T's Soul Food. It's in front of zardas BBQ. Call ahead and place your order. Everything is made on the spot. There fried chicken with some red beans and rice and cabbage is fantastic.

Maryland fried is my fave

Terrible choices down here in South FL. I don't count KFC or any other national chain as an option. Of all the places I've lived Dallas area has Babe's, OKC had Eischen's Bar in Okarche, and KC had the most choices of all.

Not necessarily traditional fast food, but quick service nonetheless, Honey Butter Fried Chicken in Chicago should be a must try for both locals and visitors. Spicy breaded fried chicken that comes with a side of honey butter that you put on the chicken prior to eating. Along with some house made hot sauce, it's a wonderful sweet/heat flavor bomb.

I haven't had fast food chicken in a long time. KFC is ****ing NASTY!!

Used to love Popeye's spicy, but they closed the franchise near me some time ago.

I've had Sweet T's as well and it was really good. The mac n cheese is some of the best I've ever had.

Chick-Fil-A is first although I really enjoy Golden Chick or even Bush's Chicken although the appear to almost exclusively in Texas (Golden Chick is opening a location in Karachi Pakastan though :spock: ).

Go CHicken Go
Price CHoppers deli (amazing wings)

I've never been impressed with Chik fil a. Never bad, just completely average. Their waffle fries are solid though.

There's a CFA on the ground floor of my building. It doesn't take very much CFA to get really tired of it.

I'd get a chicken biscuit from QT about 3x a year. Little dry, but if you got some hot sauce in your purse/glove box/desk drawer, it's not bad.

Kenny Rogers roasters

Popeyes

Lee's Fried Chicken

I don't know if it's me or if the quality has gone down over the years. KFC when I was a kid was pretty good. Churches I used to like as a teen (I worked there). Both kind of suck now. Same with Pizza Hut.

IME, their chicken is bland and dry, whether it's been their nuggets, chicken wraps or salads.

The waffle fries were okay but I haven't had the urge to visit their restaurant in four years and that's not likely to change any time soon.

I don't guess they've got a WhataBurger in chicago, huh?

If you're ever near a WhataBurger grab a Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. It's off the chain.

None of the above
