A thread on f16 got me to thinking - what's your favorite fried chicken?

(don't even weigh in on this thread if you get tenders - that's chicken for toddlers).

And let's stick with fast food. Yes, Gus's in the FTW is the best fried chicken anywhere. But it's not fast food.

As for me:

1. Chicken Express
2. Bush's
3. Popeyes
4. Church's
5. Golden Chick
6. KFC

Lee's Fried Chicken here in Columbia, MO is pretty darned good. I use to love Popeye's before all of the expansion in the 90s. I once got rancid coleslaw at a Popeye's on FM 2818 in Bryan. That was 20+ years ago, and I never went back.

There is a KFC billboard in Selma, Alabama that says, "Best chicken in Selma."

I'mma call bull**** on that.

I'm not a huge fried chicken fan, eat it maybe once every couple of years. I'll go with

1. Bojangles
2. Popeyes
3. KFC
4. Church's (I haven't had Church's in 25 years, so really don't remember)
5. Hartz (ate there once and thought it was nasty)

That's pretty much all I've tried of the fast few chains. Best I've had is the fried chicken from Ad Hoc and nothing else is really even close, but that's not fast food.

KFC original is still my No. 1 because I do love the pressure cooking and 11 herbs and spices, but man, they must use the world's smallest chicken.

2. Popeyes spicy

3. Bush's

4. Church's back when it didnt suck

5 with a bullet Dave's Hot Chicken

6. Almost all others

I never ate there, but Williams Fried Chicken in Prairie View is (if it's still around) supposed to be outstanding.

Their Reaper is a joke. Flavor is decent, but the heat ain't sign-a-release-form worthy.

Is this a thread about flavor preferences or false advertising?

Honestly our Kroger makes great fried chicken. Five drumsticks for $5 is a heck of a deal
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

So I don't eat fried chicken. I eat chicken strips but not fried chicken on the bone. The only one I would even remotely eat it out of the top ones listed is Chicken Express.

I do like CE chicken strips but haven't had them in a long time. Honestly prefer Wings n More or Canes.

The last time I had fried chicken was in July 2007. It was either KFC or Churches.

I shat and shat for hours the next day. As soon as I would get to my bed that was 7 feet from the bathroom, I had to go back. That went on til about 4pm. It was awful cause my now husband was packing up the house to move me out to College Station. and I could not help at all.

About 4 PM I thought I felt better so we got in the car to go get something to eat. And then I puked in my driveway.

So never again.

I'm the opposite, if I eat fried chicken I am constipated for days. It doesn't happen with tenders just tegular fried type. Canes is my current favorite but mainly because service is fast. Haven't eaten there in ages.

Everyone listing Bush's is as well. Bush's is owned by a family member of the chicken express owner. They both use the same distribution and supply. Same recipe. Same everything.

I didn't know that. I went to a Bush's fried chicken a few weeks ago north of Austin and it was quite good.

AND I ORDERED TWO THIGHS CAUSE THIGHS ARE PROOF GOD LOVE US!!!

I prefer chicken (and other meat too) with bones because it limits how processed that food can be. Restaurants can and do add all kinds of stuff to ground beef, chicken nuggets, Mcrib etc. Much more difficult to add fillers and other stuff inside a drum stick.

I used some of the online recipes that claim to recreate KFCs 11 herbs and spices. I found one that is fantastic and I would put it up against any fried chicken.

I don't cook it very often, maybe once a year as it's a pain in the ass but it tastes great.

The fried chicken at Ad Hoc is worth the flight and drive.
