LET'S BE HONEST, If a restaurant opened up near you with fried chicken like Popeyes, it would be celebrated as the best fried chicken restaurant in the country. I think we take for granted Popeye's shatter crisp crust with juicy chicken. Here is a hack: Sometimes I am in the mood for Korean style fried chicken (for their sauce), I just buy a jar of the sauce but buy Popeye's fried chicken because -NO ONE DOES FRIED CHICKEN BETTER!!
Popeyes' Signature Fried Chicken
PopeyesChicken
Popeyes' Signature Fried Chicken is bone-in chicken marinated in Louisiana-style seasonings and fried to a shatter-crisp crust. Widely considered the best fried chicken in fast food and the standard against which KFC is constantly measured, it's the item that built the chain and the reason people will drive past three other chicken spots to get to a Popeyes. Nutrition based on chicken breast piece.
