My taste buds might be off but I'm not into Chic-filet.

KFC is hands down, to me, the best fried chicken. Thru the years I've tried Wendy's and Mcd's and they are both better as well. In my humble opinion. My kids love the chicken nuggets from Chik filet. I don't get it, but I do think they have marketed well.

One is processed chicken meat the other chunks of white meat. McDonald’s is very good at making things kids enjoy eating.

Get yourself some of these for home cooking. Best cook yourself nuggets/chunks if you ask me....lots of people say they taste like Chik Fila. I wouldn't know, I don't eat there.

Chick-fil-A

o_O
They make a very good breakfast sandwich, too. And, at least around Reading, they're open for indoor dining. Not so much at McDs, BK, Wendy's. There are very few around, but the best chicken is from Bojangles. The one in Reading is the only one I've ever seen in Pa.

I had some Chick-fil-A for breakfast this morning and it was crucial. The best part of McDonald's hash browns are the edges and Chick-fil-A has little round ones so there's more edges. They have a cheese problem though as you always get half the cheese from your sandwich stuck to the wrapper when you open it.

I never could understand why people like chick Fil A enough to line up around their building to get it. It's ok. Nothing special. I can't really compare it to KFC, as Chick Fil A doesn't have dinners like KFC does. They do have great service, and really good marketing. I can appreciate that they do one thing. I think McD's and the rest get too caught up in having so many items on their menu. I have always said, do one thing and do it right. McD's needs to stick with Burgers, Fries and Shakes. And bring back the GOOD fries of the old days.

I get them at Costco, but regular grocery stores sell them a

I'll give it a taste. Where do you procure those?
So apparently, Costco is the only place to get them.

Chik fil a, popeyes and KFC were all within a mile of each other by my old job. Not a significant difference in their chicken sandwiches but popeyes fried chicken and side options were better than the other. Only problem was that at that popeyes you were equally likely as getting your order correct as not as well as seeing a fight in the store more often than not. KFC would take 5+ minutes even if you were the only person there and it would most likely be cold. Chik fil a would get 20+ cars through in 5 minutes and comp your order if something was incorrect

I have never eaten Chick-Fil-A. If I'm ever in a rush for some bad-for-me food, quick, there's always another option that I've already tried (or my kids are wanting burgers/pizza), so I just go with what I know. One day I'll have to break down and head there, just so I can see what the fuss is all about.

Here is my order, for chicken sandwiches, in 2 main groups ...
Good:
1) My My Chicken - El Classico, unfortunately not available
2) Popeye's Spicy / Popeye's classic
3) My version of Popeye's for sousvideverything, with chicken thighs (I make a slightly different version of the sauce)
4) Air fried red bag chicken from Aldi's... (then made like Popeye's with my sauce)
5) Burger King's spicy ( Ch'king, not the original version)
6) Chick-Fil-A

Bad:
McDonald's, there new version was terrible, I didn't care for their older version either
KFC sandwich was very disappointing
BK original

Popeyes is the bomb. My teenage son turned me on to it. Chic-fil-a has really good sauces but I don’t find their chicken to be anything special and it somewhat feels like a cult following.
I agree about chic fil-a. Everybody should just stay away from their restaurants, especially when I’m headed there.

I love Chick FIL A spicy chicken sandwiches! I also love Popeyes and KFC fried chicken one the bone. The best on the bone fried chicken may be Royal Farms though. Its really great!
+1. Royal Farms chicken in their "Henny Penny" fryers is awesome. I think Chick Fil A has good food but their drive through lanes are a traffic hazard around me. Popeye's has to be the most universally poorly run and staffed fast food place in history.

Chic fil a is awful and yet down here in north Myrtle it is wrapped around the building double lane from breakfast to shut down these past two years. The guy made like 2 million in profit this past year!!! Crazy year for him.

For you to know all of this, I can't imagine your normal diet.

I do like the taste of Chik- Fil-A sandwiches and nuggets, but don't like the long lines I'm seeing at most of the ones near me. It's probably not worth that kind of wait. Popeyes chicken sandwich is really good, probably better.

Then again, not sure I met a chicken sandwich I genuinely didn't like.

My favorites are, in order; Bojangles, KFC, Roy Rodgers. This may seem odd but I've never had Chick fil a. Royal Farms is pretty good.

You must not have been to Burger king lately.

Regarding the long lines at chifila I have to say they are the best of anyone at getting you through the lines quickly. They want all that revenue as fast as possible.

Nobody goes to Chick Fil-A anymore. It's too crowded.
SErioulsy the Home Depot here was pissed because the line was backed up an hour and taking their entrance away. Why wait on car for an hour for that yuck is beyond me. Wouldn’t do it for any place except a nice restaurant or busy Friday night somewhere

All fast food is poison. Besides, it usually upsets my stomach. Eat it once every few months.
Yeah, the last time I ate Burger King a few years ago (after no other option), I felt horrible the rest of the day. Skipped dinner at home that night and hit restart the next morning.

Food poisoning is the other reason to avoid them. Emphasis on volume over quality and sanitation.

In the past some fast food companies used cells from aborted fetuses to enhance the flavor of their product.

Currently, I don’t know if it’s illegal or not.
anyway, I don’t see fetus cells as an ingredient in their product.

WHEN I ATE FAST FOOD....

Another vote for Bojangles. Their bo-rounds are on point, and their chicken biscuit the business. Their sides are good too (dirty rice, red beans and slaw). I do like Chik-Fil-A though. spicy chicken with extra pickles and pepperjack.... winner
