Years ago we were in S Carolina and ate at Churches chicken. Some of the best I've ever eaten. POWDERMAN.
Wait, wait, wait. You said KFC was too greasy but you like *Churches*!?!?!?
Lie back, be still - someone call a doctor!
Truth be told, when I do eat bone-in style chicken I'm a fan of Popeye's - Bojangles is a close second. KFC is a more distant third and Churches is WAYYYY done there. Not only is their chicken the greasiest (at least the ones I've been to), it's also cut "wrong"
.
These days though, my chicken outings have been more frequently of the "chicken wings/strips" type setup, where I like Zaxby's quite a bit. We also have 2 bar and grill chains around here - Wild Wing Cafe and The Kickin Chicken - that are both excellent.
The just opened two stores of another chain recently too - "Raising Cane's". Haven't given them a shot yet though. Matter of fact, I might do that after I knock off work
.
OH, and PS (Powder you'll love this one
): "Churches", ironically enough, was up until very recently owned by a company called Arcapita - an Islamic venture capital group. That's why all pork products came off the menu in 2005.
