My favorite fried chicken. Kentucky fried chicken tastes bad, but you know... Kentucky is yucky.

Popeye's has spicy chicken that is actually spicy and crispy.

With KFC, both the original and extra crispy are greasy and soggy.

The problem is KFC uses these pressure cooker deep fryers so they can cook chicken in 5 minutes. Popeye's uses a better batter, and just fry it in a normal deep fryer for a normal amount of time (I'd imagine at least 20 minutes).

Yeah, Popeye's is great. Couldn't do it better myself. My opinion of Kentucky Fried Chicken is about the same as my opinion of Kentucky... Greasy, soggy, flabby, and lame.

I can justly vote NOT CRAP for the biscuits alone.
The chicken is easily way better than KFC.

The first time I had Popeye's, which was in southern Wake County in NC, my drumstick sprayed me with grease and juice on the initial bite. Bojangles on its best day is still better, but you can't get that in airports. N/c.

The best episode of Letterman (or any late show) I've ever seen had Dave simply eating a container of Popeye's Full-Flavored Green Beans and praising them for a good 15 minutes.

God I love Popeyes.

The KFC method is "broasting". Really nothing more than a high pressure deep fryer. Very popular in Michigan.

These was a Popeye's near the print shop where I used to work, and they got my lunch business many, many times. The chicken is good and spicy, and damn but they have tasty dirty rice. It's still fast food, but fast food that isn't awful, and that's a rare thing to be encouraged.

Not crap!

not crap

pretty hi-qual fried chicken, and as mentioned the dirty rice is also pretty good

the unbattered cajun chicken strips are surprisingly good. i recommend them highly as a non-gutbomb fast food.

Popeye's is better than KFC for the simple fact that Popeye's never shares space with a Taco Bell, or a Pizza Hut.

I don't like the new KFC Taco Hut Pizza Bell combos...or for that matter, the Dunkin' Baskin Donuts Robbins, either.

3 piece spicy dark with red beans and rice and a large dr. pepper.

not crap, not at all.

Certainly not crap, but I maintain still not as good as Bojangles.
