Rod Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hard to get a seasoned chicken breast perfect can’t get the seasoning all through it like ground meat and chicken breast can go from undercooked to dry RFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly here in Syracuse there really isn't a genuine fried chicken place. I remember when I was a kid and we lived in the suburbs of Chicago we would go to a place called Browns for fried chicken (40 years ago) it's was delicious, they had killer hush puppies too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m almost embarrassed to say that. My buddy’s son brought a bunch of McDonald’s food to a get together. I grabbed a crunchy chicken. I’ve had a couple since and they are consistently delicious. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted July 16, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 16, 2023 I usually go to Wendy's for a spicy chicken sandwich if I'm in the mood. Haven't been to a McDonald's in forever. I had a Popeye's once. It was alright but not many locations here. My son has me going to Bar-Burrito or Firehouse subs for lunch most days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member EvilBird Posted July 16, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted July 16, 2023 Used to think Wendys had the best spicy chicken but that is no longer the case. food has gone downhill over the years IMO , not sure why. Chick-fil-a is hands down the best, Spicy or Original. Also they have the smoothest/efficent drive thru's by far. Mcdonalds Spicy chicken is second but like always their service sucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest Chick-fil-a is 50 miles from me…same with Costco…they work well together and I agree that there food quality is a cut above the others.

Costco restaurant food makes me feel gross\sick and lots here say the same. Regardless of the Costco store. it’s tastes fine for what it is but I can never finish it. even my oldest boy says the same thing and he’s a garburator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I went into a Mex restaurant that I'd been to a few times and asked to buy some hot sauce. The 20 ish yr old girl looked at me like I had 2 heads. Very disinterested in helping me. She said that we don't sell it even though I said I'd bought some before. A 40 something overheard me and came right over and asked how much did I want? Told her and she went back to the kitchen and brought me a container. The first girl had to ring me up and she didn't say a word other than that I owed $11. and change. Handed her a $20 and that pissed her off more because she had to make change. Moral of the story is interviewing and training are the determining factors for good employees. I'd say Chick probably does a great job at both. I looked at their franchise application and they vet you pretty thoroughly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
