Oh no. They're coming for the colonel ?

To be honest, it's getting expensive now especially with delivery on top...

We have a chicken chain called Bush’s here in Texas that is 100 times better than KFC.

“chicken shops”

Those crazy brits sure have a funny way of talking.

Having said that, what keeps me away from KFC and most fast food for that matter is cost and the employees.

Last time I was in a KFC or Popeyes it was a real 3rd world experience.

I haven’t had a piece of fried chicken since the 1990s and that chicken was KFC. The stuff is essentially a potential heart attack with every meal you eat. The grease is dripping into your veins as you eat it... Yuk!

That being said... When we were kids Mom and Dad brought it home on a regular basis... It was available in Canada way before McDonald’s showed up, so it was our first ‘fast food’.

I’m a spicy chicken fan. I think Popeye’s edges out KFC. There’s also a grocery chain in East Texas called Brookshire Brothers (not Brookshires) that has really good spicy chicken. There’s also a local chain called Quick Chick that has good chicken and super good iced tea. When you order a corn on the cob, you get a full corn on the cob and not just a half. And, it’s really good.

IT’s the same “KFC” though. Overseas the menu is very different and sells hot dogs and other kinds of junk food.

With regards to the US, KFC dethroned itself when they changed their recipe from Finger Lickin’ Good to mediocre. We used to love the stuff. The chicken, gravy and the rest. Then it went to very bland.

There are a number of places that sell chicken far superior to KFC. Even that crap Walmart sells as a hot food item is better.

It’s to the point now where it’s cheaper to buy chicken at a restaurant than at KFC.

Make it at home. You can’t trust the oils they use at these places.

Am done with KFC piece dinners. 3 of the last 4 times the chicken is pink in some spots.

Will stick with the crispy strips going forward for the 1-2 times a year I go to
KFC.

KFC abdicated decades ago.

In our area, the local KFC used to be great. Last I bought a few weeks ago was so bad I could not eat it.
Now I shop Popeyes, but prefer Churches. Sadly there are no Churches Chicken around here any more. And I am in the middle of chicken raising country!
