I would LOVE to learn how to make the batter that Popeye’s uses for their fried chicken.
I remember when I tried a copycat recipe for Long John Silver’s chicken planks, but the batter tasted like Chinese chicken instead. That recipe is a keeper for pork, but not the same as LJS.
Here is a copy cat recipe for Popeyes. My friend makes it and really likes it.I have not done this.

We happened to eat at Popeye’s today. We always get the spicy chicken, and we love it; but I think the thing they make best is the gravy on their mashed potatoes. I once tried a ‘copycat’ recipe for that, and it turned out awfully. I will have to try again - there’s a little, spicy ‘zing’ in that gravy that I can’t figure out.
