I’m not sure how places like KFC and Popeye’s stay in business, when you can get fried chicken and sides for less than half the cost at supermarkets. Walmart isn’t great, but some supermarket chicken is very good, fried or baked. Winco in the pacific northwest is hard to beat. A month ago I’m in a KFC, and their price for an 8 piece family meal was over $21. Ridiculously high for not that great of quality.
All I know is that there is nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than fried chicken! :)
