there is such a thing as improperly fried food. if too much is thrown into the oil, or the oil is hot enough before it goes in the temperature drops and the food starts to soak up oil. frying at the proper temperature makes fried food less greasy.

I love Popeye's regular chicken but their tenders don't do it for me.
- over-marinated so the breast gets super hard and stringy
- cut across the grain so they don't have any chew to them despite being over-marinated
- have all those constant 'hot' specials, Ghost pepper, stick pepper, tabasco pepper, etc, that are never even as spicy as the regular spicy chicken
- tenders are so much easier to cook yourself properly that I'd rather make those myself and just buy popeye's regular chicken.

Still, they've got good sides and their tendie sauces are usually pretty good, so it's not like they're bad, just not as good as you can do at popeye's.

Naw it's all changed now. In the Twin Cities, almost every KFC is gone, I can only think of the one in Roseville that's even remotely close to Saint Paul. Everyone I know thinks Popeyes is better too, people only eat KFC for the childhood nostalgia since we didn't have Popeyes here until somewhat recently.

my biggest problem with popeyes is that they permanently discontinued both delta sauce and spicy honey mustard so the only good sauce for the tendies is limited time stuff.

like what the fuck what kind of fried chicken restaurant would decide to get rid of honey mustard? the coarse brown mustard that they still have is no good for chicken.

Chicken express is pretty much just like canes except its cheaper and you can get fried pickles, mashed potatoes, corn nuggets, or jalapeño poppers instead of those shitty crinkle cuts. The bread sucks compared to canes and the don't have canes sauce. BUT you get a huge cup of cream gravy for dipping, its great. Canes chicken is a little better but overall I think chicken express has them beat.

Though not a chain, Harold's in Chicagoland is the best imo.

Decent chicken, but big thing of fries, 2 pieces of bread, and a 1/4 dark all slathered with hot sauce for $3.10 is too good to pass up

When I lived at my old apartment while going to uni, I had one 5min walk from me. Went there a lot especially if I was day drinking. Would gobble it up and pass out. Gained a lot of weight that year just cause of that
