Nope. Never hear of it until recently.  There's are new location in Buda/Kyle.  Guess we can try it out.

 

I saw it yesterday driving through to PTerry's in Kyle.  Lot's of stuff popping up in that area.

Anyone had the new Golden Chick sandwich yet? Been seeing commercials lately. One in my hood closed awhile back, may need to make a trek. 

Quote

If the Big & Golden was Golden Chick’s OG chicken sandwich, the new Big & Wicked will have you saying OMG! Our crispy hand-breaded chicken breast loaded with our signature Lotta Zing® spice with 5 pickles and Lotta Zing sauce on a fresh-baked XL Golden Chick roll.

It’s pretty damn good. Salvadorans LOVE that stuff.

SInce I don't have one nearby.  How drive-out-of-my-way good are we talking if I'm on the road?  Suffice it to say, I'm intrigued.

There's one over by Bachman Lake not far from the house and I tried it last night in response to this thread. Meh doesn't even begin to describe it. I got the 4-piece to try both the fried and grilled chicken with cole slaw and yuca fries. I doubt I'll go back. I'd rather go to Pollo Regio or the other Tex-Mex/Mex grilled asado chicken places.

So, today was the grand opening of the first Popeye's in Scotland . . . still 20 mins away from the boy in central Glasgow, but he had the day circled on his calendar.  His best friend has a car, so an excursion was organized.

As they pull up, the parking area is a madhouse -- drive-thru line out onto the street.  But the boy is wearing a Popeye's baseball jersey (one of his Xmas gifts last year).  His buddy motions over the Popeye's employee managing traffic, and points to the boy's jersey.  They open the side gate, and let them around the traffic to park, like VIPs.  They waltz inside.

The regional manager of Popeyes UK was there.  He sees the boy in his jersey, asks him where he got it, and says hold on.  Goes into the back, and comes out with a bag full of swag (free t-shirts and such) and some free food (biscuits and sides).  He poses for a picture with the boy and his stuff.  AND then, on top of the free grub, the boy got £30 worth of spicy fried chicken as well to share with his mates (gotta introduce the scots and limeys to real flavor).
 
Now, the boy did complain to the management about the fact that they do not offer RBAR as a side in the UK.  And he said that the chicken tastes slightly different than here, but pretty damned close.  He's excited because it will be a taste treat from home that he can get now.

That's a really poorly run Popeye's if your son wasn't verbally abused and received the correct order. 

I'd complain to corporate.

If it matters, he got someone else's order and started the cascade of fucked up food that will ripple across Scotland for decades

Just tried the pimento cheese sandwich at chik fil a.

I like it. Reminded me concept wise of a fried chicken sandwich JITB did/does with nacho cheese sauce and jalapeños. I'm guessing this chik fil a one doesn't range from inedible to kind of good like the JITB one.

Only because you didn't put the JITB mini tacos on the sandwich.

I think it would pair better with a spicy filet instead of the honey filet. It wasn’t bad though.

Since this seems to be the catch all fast food fried chicken thread, I’ll post here. I tried the KFC hot and spicy wings and thought they were pretty good. Lots of good crunch on the wings like extra crispy style and while the hot and spicy on the chicken wasn’t very hot, it had good flavor and made for basically mini pieces of spicy fried chicken. It was better than the last couple times I got a 3pc spicy dark from Popeyes and just as filling.

Went to Popeye’s for lunch today, sandwich is still the King but damn if this wasn’t the 2nd trip in a row that the red beans & rice sucked. Not sure if it’s this particular store or they’ve changed throughout?

How did they suck? My biggest complaint is that they never fill the cup full but the taste has been pretty consistent.

Craving some fried chicken. Went to the Popeye's by my house. $14.99 for a four piece box with two sides and a biscuit. 

You're dead to me, Popeye's.

Haven't tried one yet, but KFC's sandwiches are 50% off online currently. 

I find the KFC ones to be very underrated, better than most others. Unfortunately, the spice comes via a sauce, which I dislike, so I just get the regular ones "dry" and then spice 'em up at home. Very tasty and 1/2 off is definitely a bargain, imo.

I had a really good meal from Golden Chick the other day. Granted they're pretty hit or miss imo.

So, some months ago, the boy camped out outside the new Popeyes in downtown Glasgow for their grand opening, because fuck it, why not. He was something like third in line, and was already wearing his Popeyes baseball jersey. The head of Popeyes UK loved him.
So, he got a free bucket hat, free chicken sandwiches for a year, and these….which they had to custom make. And, in typical Popeyes fashion, they took FOREVER. As in, he’s not presently in the UK, so he had them sent to his sister in London.

And they are….awesome.

Some sneakerhead will probably give a nice chunk for those.

Dude the CEO of this company is smoking crack. 

I just went by with a coupon for a $6 3 piece tender, side, biscuit.

This is what I got:

20250301_224321.thumb.jpg.67e62de6cbeb04ac1a85d1a504c421cb.jpg

I got 6 tenders, double fries with a biscuit. 

Popeye's does not give a damn. You never know what you're getting when you pull into that drive thru. 

Honestly maybe triple fries. They fucked me up.
