original recipe is legit good. You don't become the all time chicken franchise if you don't have good chicken.

That said, individual results will vary. The problem with having a million franchises is you have a million managers who don't do their job properly. So one time it might be great, another time it might be fucked up.

Also, they have the absolute best chicken sandwich in these retarded "chicken wars." Blows popeyes and chikfila out of the water.

personally I feel like KFC is the only fried chicken place that has flavor in the skin. Yes it is softer and it's not as crunchy as popeyes skin.

As a flip I would say Jollibee has better chicken than KFC or Popeyes. But KFC still has better mashed potatoes. Right now out of the chicken/wings places I would rank it like this


1. Bonchon - Packs the most flavor per bite. Skin nice and crunchy. Literally the perfect chicken.

2. Jollibee - It's like Popeyes but the meat is actually good. It's basically a straight up upgrade to Popeyes.

3. It's Just Wings - Chicken was good. Kinda like Wingstop but not as greasy or salty, but on the flipside it doesn't have Wingstop's flavor diversity. I would say that what puts it over Wingstop for me is the curly fries and cheese dip. And people would probably find the lack of over the top greasiness to be a lot less offensive compared to Wingstop.

4. Wingstop - While it might taste disgustingly greasy and salty, some of their flavors like garlic parmesan are just too good to ignore. It's an acquired taste, but if you can get past the greasiness it gives you the best variety of flavors.

5.WooBoi - Local chicken place. They get a special mention for having the spiciest chicken I've ever had. Their highest spice level chicken is so spicy that you will probably try to force yourself to vomit just so you can get rid of the intense burning in your stomach. Their milder level stuff is fine for the average person.

6. Popeyes - Skin is nice and crunchy, could easily be top tier if we're just judging by the skin. But when it comes to the meat it's just bland. It gets progressively worse the more you take a bite out of the meat. It really doesn't play its 'Cajun flavor' hand as much as it should.

7. KFC - Skin is sorta soggy and below average. Meat is probably a lot more edible than Popeyes. Mashed potatoes and gravy are it's one saving grace. Also fuck them for getting rid of wedges.

6. Bojangles - Had it once. Wasn't impressed.

Haven't had Buffalo Wild Wings or Chic fil a yet.

Tenders, new and old Sandwiches, Pot Pie, Famous Bowl, Popcorn Chicken, whatever, they're fine for me. But when it comes to what they're best known for; their drums, legs and thighs, breasts, wings, etc., I don't know if it's just my state in the US but the 3 different restaurants I got KFC from over the recent years is absurdly dry that it's actually insulting. To the point if I'm given KFC by family or co-workers I just end up eating the skin and slowly TRY to eat the actual meat, but end up disgusted and possibly ending up throwing it away whole.

Yuro KFC is superior for 2 reasons:

- no other chicken chains

- >>>Filet Bites<<< always juicy, own type of batter that's seasoned to death, crispy crunch and the highest tier of chicken breast filet you can get.

Sadly they started to opt for the cheap Popcorn Chicken which the staff literally makes in the microwave like in America. Very few countries left still rocking Filet Bites.
