Sounds good.  The ladies at Popeye's in the ATL airport know me by name.  I have probably said it before but they cook the best green beans I have ever put in my mouth (don't tell my mom I said that).

While I love Popeye's spicy, I've always said KFC could sell buckets of just the skin!  Not to healthy, but...

Damn, a Popeye's in the airport!  Someone at Popeye's needs to talk to some Tampa officials...

spicy all the way for me.  Church's Chicken up here is pretty good and the manager is a hottie.

My wife always gives me her chicken skin.  I don't understand why she doesn't like the skin.  Must be the damn yankee in her.  I could eat a bucket of good crispy skin from KFC or Popeye's.

Hottie is good. Very good. Particularly as related to chicken.

I didn't know your name was "sugar" or sweetie" - that's what I get from them all the time.  They do make good everything - I hit it about every third time I'm through there.

One of them grabbed me by the front of the shirt one day, drug me half way across the counter, and kissed me on the cheek.   :oops:

I don't miss it unless I just don't have the time.

Gotta go with the local favorite, Bojangles.  Killer chicken, great dirty rice, top-notch biscuits, and really good sweet tea!   :thumleft:  

It's Bo time!

If you guys don't have Pollo Campero chicken places yet...sorry.  It's a huge Mexican chicken chain...came to Houston about 6 years ago.  I had it again about a week ago...oh man...somehow there's very little grease and the flavor is like no other.  We have a Frenchy's in the 'hood.  It wins all kinds of awards but I don't want to die violently while I'm eating chicken.  Unless it's really, really phenomenal chicken.

When Popeye's is having their monthly "super deal" I can get 9 mixed for $5.  I can't buy raw chicken and cook my own for that cheap.

But, I do cook it.  The "home" trick seems to be:  Brine the chicken pieces in saltwater with lots of hot sauce in it (2 hours).  Then dry-spice the chicken BEFORE you flour.  (Spices burn easily but the flour protects them.  Mixing the spices into the flour just wastes expensive spices and it still burns.)  Flour, knock off excess, wait a bit, re-flour, knock off excess, cook immediately.  Use Vegetable Oil...and you gotta keep the temp right, to let the inside cook before the outside burns.  Personally, I don't deep-fry it...I prefer the "3/4 inch of oil in a cast iron skillet" method.  Start with the bone sides up...that lets the steam/water out, then flip ONCE.  You're gonna want a splatter screen.  

It MUST rest on a wire rack over paper...not directly on paper or on a pan.  If you don't have a rack, pull out one of your oven racks and use that.  (before you turn the oven on...) :thumright:

My mistake folks...I meant to write "Vegetable SHORTENING"...not "oil".  Shortening.  The white stuff.  Melt it down.

I grew up on chicken cooked in an iron skillet with Crisco.  Can't beat it.
(but that's probably partly why I had to have a roto-rooter job on my heart at age 48)

Plenty of lard from a big metal bucket as a kid.  As we became citified we graduated to Crisco.

Lard:

The self-proclaimed "Seafood Capital of the World" is Calabash, NC...right on the Calabash River, barely in NC...you can throw a rock and hit N Myrtle Beach...little teeny one street town. Back in the day they had over thirty fried seafood joints. All of them claiming to be the "original" or the "best".

They ALL fried in lard. Damn it was tasty.

Didn't matter which one you went to. They were all owned by a couple of families there...the "Calabash Mafiosa."

There are only 3 or 4 left. This healthy lifestyle crap killed 'em off.
