Don't like KFC. Publix has very good fried chicken. Mine is better.

Publix in Colony Plaza especially their breaded buffalo wings. Will make your chicken the way you like and their quality is consistent. Special orders take about 20 minutes so call ahead and they will be ready when you get there.

I like McCall's in Spanish Springs. I also like the wing zings or wing dings at Sweetbay.

McCalls is real good. Winn Dixie sometimes good too.

I still like KFC.

I love the spices on KFC but after avoiding fried chicken for quite some time I was disappointed at how greasy it was when I ate some recently.

Disappointed............... and had to counter it with Alka Seltzer.

Golden Corral has excellent fried chicken. Best I've had in TV. McCalls is pretty good too.

KFC and Popeye are pretty good but we like Publix the best.

IMHO, Publix is okay, but it is a bit greasy. BoJangles is also very greasy. The best chicken we ever tasted since living here was Speckled Butter Bean when it was on route 44.

Now we go to Popeye's.

My puppy likes those itty bitty bones on Publix chicken. Those really little bitty ones must be delicious. I'm going to try them myself, next time.

I also vote for McCalls. I have found that Golden Corral can be good or not very good - inconsistent.

We are not fried chicken eaters yet I've wondered about the Maryland Fried Chicken in Leesburg. It looks like a fast food establishment but I wonder how it is different from KFC or McCalls. Has anyone tried it?

Always enjoyed the Golden Corral. Used to like KFC but haven't been there in a while. Like Publix but the coating is a little salty but I can put up with it.

As the others say - home is the best!

Eaton's Beach Sandbar and Grill on Lake Weir. Very good food, great service, reasonable prices and killer view of the lake.

Tried Maryland Chicken once and weren't impressed. We like Popeye across the street better.

Unfortunately, I cannot find that in Publix. I always liked it as a snack pack.

Just remembered a place we have tried....Ye Olde Coffee Cup in Wildwood on 301. It's on the corner of 466A and 301. They have a small buffet and the meals are filling. Place is a little run down, but has been there for a long time. The chicken is good...not great, but good.

Haven't been there in awhile but the food is really good. More than a little run down but real southern cooking. Don't go if you have cholesterol issues.

Years ago there was a chain called Po Folks, and they had a location in suburban Bucks County PA. We loved going there (all you can eat, but not a buffet); fried okra, gumbo, fried apples, mac and cheese, hush puppies, and delicious biscuits. I wonder if they still exist somewhere?

Just about everything the Cotillion in Wildwood prepares is very good, including their fried chicken. Since your handle is 'Hoosier Bob' try the Copper Kettle in Morristown, IN for excellent fried chicken the next time you are in the Hoosier State.

There is a Po Folks in Ocala on College. 3415 Sw College Rd, Ocala, FL 34474

I don't know if it is the same, but it appears to be a pretty large chain.
