Kentucky Fried Chicken

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.

A Chick-fil-A opened recently in my area and it is a nightmare to find a place to park, place your order, etc...

The food is good and they are efficient but IMO the prices are a little spendy considering that getting my food took about an hour and a half.

I'm glad I went but I won't go back until things calm down.

Uh oh, maybe I'll just do a drive by. If it's not a mad house I'll go.

It's that way with ALL new food places. Best to w-a-i-t awhile.
 
haha Rose.

Another vote here for Chick-fil-A although I haven't been for years. It's not pressed chicken parts. It's the real deal. I always got the Chick-n-Strips...but you're right it's 3.35 for 3 strips and add about a dollar for each extra strip. I think I used to get 4.

...and I think you're right, Rose...KFC doesn't seem as good as it once was but it may depend on the different franchise owners. There's a big difference when it's dried out because it's no fresh. The managers should be monitoring that.
 
Every time we go to Chick-fil-A, it is very crowded, but the orders are taken and processed quickly. We get a colored cup and go sit at a table. Very shortly our order is delivered to our table. I don't know how they accomplish that!:confused:

Our grand-daughter worked there, and when her Dad (our Son-in-law) died suddenly, 4 years ago, she was a wreck. Her Manager kept in touch, encouraged her to keep working, and they even paid for grief counseling for her.

I'm not much for chicken, but the mashed potatoes, gravy, and coleslaw is excellent. I would love to have some of that coleslaw right now. it's not that late...maybe

ORIGINAL KFC COLE SLAW

1/2 head of white cabbage. This can be easily hand grated with a hand held grater. OR chopped by hand with a sharp chef's knife.
1 tsp white onion, chopped very, very finely
1 TBLSP of veg oil
2 TBLSP white sugar
1 tsp dried tarragon (ultra important for that KFC flavor)
1/2 medium carrot, finely grated
1/2 tsp salt
Add just enough Miracle Whip (or mayo if you prefer) to lightly moisten the slaw. Mix all ingredients well. Never use aluminum bowl.


SPECIAL NOTES
Be extra careful with the onion amount. A tiny bit goes a very long way. This slaw will not taste right until it has set for several hours in fridge. I have been making this for 40 years and I just go by eye, so the amounts may be adjusted to suit your taste.

There is a Church's here, and it's my favorite also. Their Cajun rice is really good. A little hot and greasy, but that's what makes it good. :cool:

We have Church's and the Chick too but not as good as KFC. If I am going to indulge in the heart attack, give me the KFC. Limit myself to once a month but eat all the cole slaw I want. Two legs, mashed potatoes and cole slaw. I think it depends on the franchise owners as to the quality of the food. Finally found one closer to me.

Oh yes! We were introduced to Church's several years ago when my daughter lived South. Absolutely great chicken. We also tried Pop Eyes and found more breading than meat. We love KFC but not too often,it greasy delicious will kill you in a heartbeat.
