FWIW Church's Chicken is superior to KFC.  My dad used to bring some to me while I was working ground around ICT.  When we still farmed around ICT, damned terrorists.  :shakesfist:

If you ever find yourself in the Pittsburg area on a Friday night, go to Barto's Idle Hour in Frontenac. They have good fried chicken, and they play polka music and all the old local hicks get up and dance. It's a real hoot.

Go Chicken Go in metro KC is superior to KFC.  If you permit entry of livers into the contest, it's an edge Go Chicken Go has that pushes it over the top.

Note: For you snobs don't deign to eat organ meat, livers from Go Chicken Go may change your mind.

Well, make sure you eat at Barto's first.

Maybe controversial, but I've never had fried chicken that was definitely better than KFC. I've been to Strouds, Brookeville and others that are supposedly higher quality, but haven't felt they are much better in taste. It's an oddity to me that it's like the one national (International) fast food chain that does what they do as good or better than good mom and pop places.

Side note: I've never been to Chicken Annie's or Chicken Mary's in Pittsburg.
you have to go off menu at Houston's and get the chicken tenders platter

TaTownBacker, is that you. Isn't it called the Flying Chicken platter or something like that? Heard it's delicious.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

How's the mob presence at Barto's?

I'd really like to set up a blind fried-chicken taste test.

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?

The traditional chicken at Go Chicken Go is definitely not better than KFC.  It's not. 

You need to be into Livers to really appreciate Go Chicken Go.  I haven't tried them.

Hmmm....I'm more accustomed to the clinically out-of-date usage of "moron", but can live with being referred to as a cretin.  Can confirm that snobs look down on organ meat, and not because it's on their plate.

It just depends on how much garlic you like on your chicken. I like Chicken Mary's a little bit better, but all 3 are really good. I'd only recommend Barto's if it's polka night.

I didn't realize this was a thing until I moved to Mobile, but they have restaurants dedicated to chicken fingers.

After finding this in my "chicken" at KFC in Auburn NY, you my dears can go eff yourselves. My four year old almost ingested this. You are not quality, or anything that can be even remotely close to that. Never again.

FWIW, Pre-remodel MHK KFC had about the best drive thru guy in the world.
