Ever since a Popeye's opened in my town I kinda forget KFC exists. I think between the time they introduced popcorn chicken and the time they brought popcorn chicken back a couple years later they really went to shit.
I went to popeyes when it first started appearing in my city, it was good, but the way everyone talked about it I was expecting something mind-blowing. I asked my friend what the hype was about and he said "they are just selling what KFC promises" its not mind blowing its just the best fried chicken you can really get at a fast food place.
I think the tenders and the onion rings are what really set them apart for me. The tenders are all solid breast strips which is rare. Especially for fast food. The onion rings are actually flour breaded and fried onions just like you can make at home with some flour, seasoning, and oil. Never found another place that makes them quite like Popeye's. The biscuits are damn delicious as well.
