I've been trying to find a good source on Africans using palm oil for frying. For some reason I can't find anything solid online and the one book I have (about fried chicken in African-American culture) starts with slavery and I haven't found it going back to Africa yet.

There's a Freep thread about the "reversal" but most of them aren't buying it. Nothing's particularly funny, it's just them doubling down on their opinion or accusing Chick-Fil-A of "courting leftists". I mean, if Chick-Fil-A was never going to stop donating to anti-gay organizations, why get their base riled up by releasing that first statement? And if they WERE going to stop, why immediately apparently backpedal? Are they seriously trying to play both sides here? Why the gently caress do I need to care about what a fried chicken fast food chain donates to?! Aaargh!!

Their chicken isn't even good It's a sad soggy unflavoured hunk of chicken breast in breading with "frozen and microwaved" texture, and a pickle, in generic awful white buns. Add some waffle fries and a bar of bad sauces.

It's weird that this argument comes up (about their chicken being not good) every time Chik-Fil-A is discussed, because A) It's not true, it's pretty loving tasty, and B) Is completely beside the point and sounds like sour grapes.

It’s likely down to the local variance in quality to be honest. You’ve got a good McDonald’s and a bad Chick-fil-A. Also, my phone’s autocorrect properly capitalized and hyphenated those Brands. We live in hell. Edit: I also don’t really care about your opinions on fast food please do not take this as an incitement to keep posting about how much you think a chicken sandwich is good/bad.

Yeah, it reminds me of when Roman Polanski was back in the news and a lot of people were rightly calling for him to be extradited to the U.S. to serve his time. A bunch of them, though, said "his movies aren't even that good." Now, I think Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby are very good, but that's not the point. By bringing it up, you're implying that if his movies were better it'd be okay that he drugged and raped a thirteen year old girl.

(Total tangent, but for some reason your phrasing at the end reminded me of "Bob Sagat, who RAPED and KILLED a girl in 1990....") I see the same thing about pretty much any creative-type who does something abhorant. Like how Annie Hall excuses Woody Allen of having a daughter-wife.

Yeah, they marinate it in pickle brine and fry it in peanut oil. You can try it at home; the salt in the brine makes the chicken retain more moisture and the peanut oil fries it super quick to keep it from losing juices. It's a dead simple way to make good fried chicken.

I normally go to Popeyes and I used to go to Bojangles before the local one closed. The important part is you need to get the spicy chicken there for it to have the right flavor. The non-spicy stuff is super bland. Zaxby's sucks. What really helped Chick-Fil-A before the slew of good fried chicken everywhere was they actually used full white breast meat in their sandwiches, nuggets, and strips. You weren't getting a reformed paste like a McNugget.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-aKqp1kzKg He's actually turning his nose up at nose-to-tail cooking because of the social stigma attached to chicken nuggets. That's taking the bits you'd throw away and making something people will line up for out of it. I respect Jamie Oliver a great deal, but he got a bit classist here. Of course, on the same show (Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution) he staged an intervention for a family that used its deep fryer for at least one component of literally every meal, and almost all their diet was frozen stuff. Their 12 year old boy turned out to be diabetic, go figure. There's a shocking lack of food education in the world. Despite one slip, Jamie's Food Revolution was a noble effort to help address that issue.

Korea has a ton of great fried chicken spots, which is awesome as they mostly also do delivery so if you are feeling lazy you can just ring up and get fried chicken to your apartment quick.

If you can get it absurdly fresh like out of the fryer pickle just put on it then those are actually fairly decent sandwiches. Same goes for the fries. The second you let any of it sit for longer than 3 minutes it's all basically the same as if you were eating it anywhere else. I guess that's fast food in general, but I gotta say I feel like other fast food lasts longer without becoming aggressively bad.
