1. apples and oranges

2. I vote for KFC! n/t

[Bjorn Against]

3. Both KFC and Chic-Fil-A suck, go to a local restaurant and get some quality food

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. +1

4. What's sad is that Chik-Fil-A has better quality food than most of its competitors...

...including the greasy and nasty shit from KFC.

Why can't they just love the gay? Hmmm??

[JohnnyLib2]

5. Clever comment, in context.

[ProSense]

6. Never

understood the appeal of Chick-fil-A. Ate there once, food sucked.

[tridim]

8. Yep, I got a freebie at the grand opening, wasn't impressed.

My homemade breaded chicken sandwiches are 100% better. A day or two in buttermilk is the key.

[NBachers]

7. I'll go for the sides during my few visits to KFC

Biscuits, red beans & rice, and those pecan pies are tolerable. But there are years and years between visits.

[tridim]

9. Their mashed potatoes and gravy were great back in the old days.

Not so much now. There was a change in the 80's.

I do still like original recipe, dark meat only.

[Ikonoklast]

11. They do make good biscuits.

I can't eat fried chicken, though, fried foods just kill me.

[Neoma]

12. I prefer Brown's Chicken.

[Zax2me]

13. And the American people vote - Chick Fil A

The franchise is very popular.
Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, and Panera Bread rank among the best quick serves in the country in customer satisfaction

14. KFC

KFC thighs and breasts always seem to have a big splotch of uncooked batter lurking in the crevices somewhere. I hate that. Plus it's a little too salty for my taste. I love their hot wings (when they're fresh) and their pot pies, though.

[bhikkhu]

15. Ack - I don't know how anyone can eat that stuff

I have a fairly iron constitution, but KFC is one thing that turns it inside out. I assume it is because "Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the fast food industry’s largest users of MSG. This taste-exciting chemical (excitotoxin) is found in so many of KFCs products that it’s nearly impossible to eat a typical meal at KFC without ingesting it."

16. If I MUST have breaded and fried fast food chicken, I vote for Popeye's.

Their red beans and rice are awesome.

17. Chicken Shack

Stops other chickens cold in their tracks.

From today's Detroit Free Press, coincidentally:

Berkley founders of Chicken Shack share chain with kids, grandkids

18. Rick Warren had this to say -

“Political Correctness is the #NewMcCarthyism. Dare to say what the Bible says &be bullied back into conformity."

[Starry Messenger]

21. *barf*

Yes, boycotting fried poultry is *just* like a long stint in Federal prison. I hate that asshole.

19. I worked at a KFC while going to school

I can't speak of the health concerns of fried chicken, or other stores, but we turned out some good chicken. Our manager was a bulldog of a lady and she watched us like a hawk. The chicken is iced, not frozen and rotated and checked each day. The extra crispy is soaked in a brine overnight, breaded and cooked in open fryers. The original is floured with the secret recipe and cooked in pressure cookers. You had to wait till the temp was rising and at 350 drop the chicken. If you waited to long or dropped to early you faced the wrath of the manager. When done you had to lay each piece a certain way to drain properly.

I have eaten some sad KFC in my time, but at that store it was good!

20. Lizard's Thicket has great fried chicken!

But the best is my own. Spice it first, let it sit in the fridge a few hours. Then dip in buttermilk beaten with egg (the WHOLE MILK buttermilk you get down south or make it yourself), dredge in seasoned flour, and fry in peanut oil.
