SURPRISE, ARIZONA
Every once in awhile we opt for Chicken from KFC. When we lived in South Dakota the closest KFC was 60 miles away and believe it or not maybe once a year we would go there to get some Original recipe. Now, I have a location literally one block away here in Arizona so when we get the urge it's a quick trip. Tonight's the night.
 

Hope you get the mashed potatoes and gravy too. I like that.

There's a KFC about a half a mile from me.
They cut up the pieces of chicken an odd way, but I still can get my mouth around it.

I've never had El Pollo Loco but I'm gonna try it one of these days.

Enjoy your dinner Jim.
 
Thanks John, I always get the mashed potatoes and gravy and cole slaw. No heath food but damn it's good.

"Tonight`s the night" used to have such a different meaning,LOL.

Hubby worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was in high school. This was in 1966 and they had just opened a store in our town. The owners loved him and were grooming him to take over this particular store while they moved on to open another. He worked there about a year and a half,then Uncle Sam called. He was only gone for six months (National Guard),but by the time he returned,he decided that he wanted to go to work for his dad. Knowing what we now know about KFC,to have gotten in at such an early time,would have been a really good move financially,but who knew?

Does anyone remember KFC in those old days? The chicken was great,yeah,but our favorites were the burgers (Single Header,Double Header,Triple Header) and their onion rings-Bermuda Brownies they called them. Yummo! I know their food isn`t prepared the same way as it was back then-hubby used to make all the hand formed burger patties,hand bread and fry the onion rings, cut all the chickens up (can you imagine that nowadays?),bread them and fry them in huge pressure cookers. He always had bad grease burns on his hands and arms lol. And he never smelled very good after work :)
 
Haven't bought it or any other restaurant brand in years, there is one a few miles from here, maybe I'll drop in one of these days for old time's sake. :) I liked the honey barbeque wings they had and that cole slaw.
 
We were just talking about KFC. We rarely go there but the chicken is pretty good. We went to a restaurant that was supposed to have excellent fried chicken, been so long since we had really good fried chicken that we checked it out....terrible and overprices, a big disappointment.

Our local KFC changed since I last posted on this thread. It's not as good and prices went up.

We just got a new Chick-fil-a. I'll be trying that soon.
