The McDonalds was better because they weren’t trying to be fancy, but every chicken place was way below what I’d been expecting to compare to. I mean, Chik-fil-a was fine; a 6/10, but not worth the bigotry. ...oh, and a small Coke. Should I drive through now?

Len posted:The best was the chicken select strip. The minimum order was three pieces and the chart would tell you to only make two. And that math doesn’t work because if someone is already going to wait almost 8 minutes just make the whole thing to order.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Whatever happened to those? I was always surprised McDonald's didn't have proper chicken tenders, just nuggets, and then I tried them and they were serviceably good, and now they're gone again. Did they not sell? They didn't when I worked there. They brought back chicken strips a year or two ago but they could be gone again? They were real solid when fresh, but since they were expensive it was common for them to sit and just have the timer get reset instead of them being tossed

Micky D's is apparently adding more chicken sandwiches, one of which is a blatant copy of Chick-fil-A, which is probably a great marketing move. quote:On Monday, the company announced three versions of a new chicken sandwich, which will be available nationally on February 24: The Crispy Chicken Sandwich, topped with pickles and served on a potato roll, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which adds a spicy pepper sauce, and the Deluxe Chicken Sandwich, which comes with lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. McDonald's told investors in November to expect a new chicken sandwich this year.

Maybe with hints of touching irony, but a dependable product. I couldn't finish it. I also felt very unsafe. Compare it to the random independent pupuseria I stumbled into while drunk in the middle of the Pico Union in LA at like half midnight and there was no contest.

Memento posted:Uhh, butter is 1627 calories per cup, which means the 1/3 of a cup that's butter is 542~ calories by itself. Lard is 1845 calories per cup. A cup of 2:1 potatoes:butter is over 600 calories. If you google the things that’s what it says. Yours sounds more official but also worse for you.

Knormal posted:The chicken tenders were one of the menu items that disappeared at the start of COVID as part of the pandemic menu streamlining. I'm not sure how many of the removed items were actual supply chain streamlining and how many were more just them seeing an opportunity to cut some underperformers. I think almost every other fast food restaurant has gone back to their full menu by now, which leads me to think the latter.

The one Popeye's sandwich I've had, the chicken itself was okay but the breading just tasted like a grease sponge. It reminded me of Long John Silver's, where pretty much everything just tastes like it was dunked in the same old oil vat. And it's weird, because their normal chicken is fine.

It reminded me of Long John Silver's, where pretty much everything just tastes like it was dunked in the same old oil vat. And it's weird, because their normal chicken is fine. That likely means the oil wasn’t hot enough to immediately turn the water in the chicken/breading to steam, which acts as a natural barrier for the oil and keeps it from seeping into the food itself. This was likely either a fault of the management/cooking staff for that specific restaurant, not the sandwich itself. Not defending Popeyes, but it happens basically everywhere

Last time I had Long John Silvers was a few years ago and I got a really bad fever a few hours later and was out for the next day. I'm pretty sure it was due to the water spigot I drank water after getting pretty dehydrated at the pool that day, but the ordeal was enough to put me off LJS forever. The Popeye's Chicken sandwich is drat good. Not worth waiting longer than a few minutes in line though. I find it helps to just go anytime that isn't close to lunch or dinner times.

When the Popeyes sandwich first dropped it took me three days to get my hands on one. And you know what? It deserved the hype; best god damned chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life (the spicy version, didn't try the regular)

It honestly stinks because it usually happens during a rush because they throw a ton of cold product into the fryer all at one time, which causes the oil temp to drop faster than it’s supposed to under normal conditions, which leads to everyone getting an oil-soaked deep-fried whatever. So it can happen anywhere at basically anytime if the manager/cooks aren’t on the ball. E. “sir, this is a Popeyes”

White castle is ancient, the burgers were made to be sold for a dime in the 20s and best I know (i.e. not at all) they haven't changed; they're not exactly like any other food product. They do however have the best extruded chicken product of any fast food place (yes, the chicken rings) and give benefits to their employees.
