I love Dave's Hot Chicken!

The one near me in San Diego is always packed.

“Can’t understand the line at the place all the time.”

Agree. The food is OK - mediocre. Not good enough to justify waiting in a long line (IMO).

“Yan Yan Yan’s Chicken” — that would have been hilarious. I’ll bet they thought about it.

Tried all the ones you mention but I like Tumble 22 in Austin/Houston best. I heard Landry’s just bought it out so I hope they don’t screw it up.

They really missed an opportunity to cook Chinese. They could have teamed up with “Yan Can Cook.”

I tried Dave’s while on vacation.

Being a wuss, I went for medium heat. I thought I was going to die.

The sauce also made the coating really soggy.

We recently had a Cane’s open up in our neighborhood. It is chicken fingers...that’s it...chicken fingers. They offer a sandwich...which is chicken fingers on a bun. They offer a salad, which is a salad with chicken fingers in it. They do offer french fries and Texas toast. Snore.

My wife loves Chick-Fil-A for some reason. They always have a long line but they move it really fast. I just don’t get it. It’s hard to find a good chicken place around here.

The chef doesn’t sound very bright. What does it matter if he doesn’t like chicken as long as customers do? I’m not even sure I’d want to eat anything cooked by someone who doesn’t like chicken.

I love fried chicken, and I hate frying it, but the nearest place I can get good fried chicken is 20 miles away, and it ain’t that great. But I found a recipe on YouTube that is , bar none, the best fried chicken I have ever had. (best part -— there’s no talking in the video!)

Everything’s in Korean or Chinese... How do you pull the recipe from that?

It has english amounts for the recipe. The rest is just visual. You have to put on the captions function. They’re in english.

Of the places I’ve tried that primarily serve chicken fingers, Foosackley’s is the best. Raisin’ Cane’s is OK. Zaxby’s meh. People I know say Guthrie’s is the best - tried it once, had heartburn for a week from the grease. And I’m concerned about all the poor fingerless chickens running around.
