Why would you do that when you can just buy their chicken and why would you buy their chicken when there's Popeye's?

And why would you buy Popeye's if there's a Raising Cane's nearby?

His nephew is really careless, it seems like he has disclosed this recipe over and over again in the past few years.

The quality of the chicken itself is EVERYTHING. Having KFC overseas taught me this. Popeye's would be decent if it was cooked properly and not so damn dry.
didn't we have this thread ...before? I feel deja vu about this anyway.
the nephew gave away a recepie but the company said they would neither confirm nor deny, etc, etc.
anyway, I make a chook sort of like this in a cast iron pan and it tastes like my grandma's except its a little burnt.

We don't have Raising Cane's in Chicago where I live now (although I guess they added a couple to the nearby suburbs) so I'm always fiending for it like a madman whenever I get the chance to go to one out of town.
The last time I was there, I bought 64oz of Cane's Sauce and poured it into squeeze bottles I bought on Amazon. It's lasted me for months.
It's good on everything but, man... I miss that chicken.

Raising Cane's is the one true fast food chicken
Cane's is great, except in my college town. A&M has a home-grown competitor named Layne's that has much better chicken and sauce than Cane's. I miss it.
But there was always the Layne's vs Cane's battle.
When I was in HS I had a buddy named Chris and one day KFC came up and he was like "Haha KFC what does that stand for Colonel Fucks Kids??" And I'm like breh that doesn't even fit the abbreviation and he's like whatever, then "Colonel Fucks Children".
I'm not rly sure why I never forgot that

Seriously. I don't know what happened, but I'm shocked that people still praise Popeyes when the quality has fallen so far. From the flour cookies they call biscuits to it's lower quality chicken.

Isn't this super old news?

everything is cyclical. time is an old man who forgets that he's told that story again for the 9th time.
Realtalk. On Monday I was stuck at Atlanta with a long layover and there was a Popeye's. So I grabbed a spicy fried chicken sandwich. It was the second best "meal" I've had in an airport in 30 years of flying. The previous contender was at Rick Bayliss' Chicago spot, Tortas Frontera.
I've had Popeye's before and didn't think much about it, but that spicy fried chicken sandwich was a game changer for me. Absolutely flattened Chik Fil A's equivalent. And I LIKE Chik Fil A's sandwiches.
However, there's a local fried chicken mini chain called Ezell's and you stick their tenders on a good roll with some pickles and lettuce and a dash of mayo and it beats both hands down.

KFC original recipe is cooked in a pressure fryer though, so I don't think this will taste the same at all.
next time get stuck in the Charlotte airport and get blessed by some Bojangles. then go lounge in a rocking chair, log on to the free wifi, and post on NeoGAF about how much better it was than Popeyes.

The modern spice mix has MSG in it, that's why they call this the 'original' one I suppose.

KFC used older, tougher chicken than any decent chicken joint (or home cook) uses today, which means you had to cook it longer to get it tender, which in turn makes it more dry...unless you cooked it under pressure.
The Colonel just came up with a way to use cheap chicken and have it taste acceptable.
I can make way better fried chicken than KFC in a pan. And I can make it taste just like classic KFC (I've been eating there since the 70s) if I want to, but I usually make Nashville hot chicken.
Sure.
it's not hard

Why would you buy Raising Cane's when you can get 100 chicken nuggets for under $20 from Burker King.

Absolutely. And dredge the chicken in flour with spices and baking soda twice, with another dip in buttermilk in between the two dredgings!

Because Raisin Canes sadly doesn't have any spicy options. I think that's the biggest issue I have with it, because the quality of the chicken (and the special sauce) is EXCELLENT, but you pretty much need the sauce to eat it because the chicken has 0 kick to it
if you eat 100 nuggets and throw them up 30 minutes later did you really eat them?

This is awesome.
Good question but there's no doubt that you tasted them twice.
My man! Although spicy strips from Popeyes>
