All the KFC’s were closed down about a year ago where I live ,it was terrible anyway
My mother worked here as a waitress in 1941-1942, and my uncle supplied it with chickens, c. 1955-1961. It's still in business--in Buena Park, Calif.
KFC - Kentucky Fried Cartilage
Update--This is the restaurant in question in post #5. I had a takeout meal there last week.
I’m eating Church’s at this very moment.
My local Church’s became a Juan Pollo. I rarely eat there—I can make better chicken at home.
KFC gave me food poisoning here in Pittsburgh in the Summer of ‘77.
Gave it to me again in Maryland that Fall.
Has not touched my lips since.
When it’s hot out, I want chicken with character. For example, tonight I am making a chicken creole with a chocolate (colored) butter and bacon grease roux base. Most of the ingredient are standard, and not terribly piquant (hot spice), but with a good assortment of vegetables and other spices. Of course over rice.
But another dynamic summer chicken recipe is the enigmatic chicken adobo. Known and beloved through every land previously Spanish or Portuguese, no two adobo recipes are the same. However, the Filipino variety, adobo sa gata, with rich (never lite) coconut milk, is my favorite. You
much be very judicious with your hot peppers, however.
For a robust but European taste, chicken cacciatore or “hunter’s chicken” can’t be beat. It kind of eclipses the fettuccine or linguine used as its bed, but it soaks up the delicious juices.
For those who want a very mild, creamed chicken flavor, there is the green chile chicken enchilada casserole. It is very non-threatening and reliable as a dish.
1 package corn tortillas
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can milk
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup cooked chicken, diced
1 cup mild green chilis, chopped
Heat soup and milk, add onion and chilis. Tear tortillas into pieces. Alternate soup mix with tortillas, cheese and diced meat. Bake in 350F oven for 1 hour.
Now we are talkin. :-)
Yum I’m going to make that casserole for Mr GG2 this week.
Try The Chicken Coop in Bandera, Texas. Best Chicken Fried Chicken I’ve had in forever!
I made some chicken cordon bleu last week for the first time. WOW!! Never tried that before.

Fried onion rings at A&W did the same to me back in 1974!
