Wow, lot to catch up on in this thread. Here is a rundown....
1. This thread is about fried chicken on the bone, not tenders etc.
2. Popeye's is actually my favorite as well, because I like the spicey chicken and I prefer their sides (e.g. red beans and rice), but KFC is a global institution.
3. As it turns out I actually MIGHT find myself in the great Pittsburgh area in the future. However, I was told "Chicken Mary's" and "Chicken Annie's" are the two chicken joint that I should hit. Is that not correct?
