Truth. for better or worse, we all seem to crave fried foods.
I don't think I've ever had bad fried chicken.

Both winn dixie and publix have a standard sized chicken fried by a timer so there is no chance of it being under cooked.
Winn dixie uses far smaller chickens but still far larger than the tiny chickens served at Popeye. Publixs fried a really large meaty chicken and so will be and should be more expensive..

How to read a chicken. If, you see a brown black area at the joints you know it has been frozen; ,pst likely it will be tougher and dryer.

I've heard that Maryland Fried Chicken is really good. Someday we will try it but it is right across the street from Popeye's (hard to pass up). KFC is also next door to Maryland Fried Chicken but that's not hard to pass.

This barbaric practice must stop.

Golden Corral has the best fried chicken (bone in) in The Villages hands down. We have tried them all... McCalls, Publix, Winn Dixie, PDQ, Demshars, Mallory CC.

This is an upbeat thread - it's not the downer like the various pizza threads, as in "Who Has the Best Pizza in The Villages" followed by "There is no good pizza in The Villages, it's not like New York pizza or Chicago pizza, etc. etc."

Publix 20 pieces wings for $10......can't go wrong

We have found the chicken there to always be great. I will admit that we don’t love the ambiance!

Anyone else remember these monstrosities ?

Yes, I think old Kentucky fried chicken use to pressure cook them when KFC tasted good, now it's hit and miss depending on the restaurants. VKFC thumbs down, lucky to get the order right there.

Golden Corral mostly good all over. It's even good down here and that's saying something!

I use to like Popeyes's in the 70s in Texas. Either my taste buds has changed or Popeyes's and KFC has??????
