I've never been to Popeyes. One recently opened in my hometown. When I visit my mother next month we'll try it out.

By the way I'll tell you a little known secret to frying chicken.

I don't eat it like I used to because Dr. said cut back on butter, lard, etc

because of high cholersterol.

Anyway, before the sermon LOL I would add 2 tablespoons of butter to the Crisco in the cast iron skillet or whatever type of skillet your using. That's what gives the chicken the gold color. Takes about at least 30-45 min to fry chicken right.

We never have fried chicken at home but every now and then we’ll go to Zaxby’s or Charlie’s. @VenturaHighway No one fixes fried chicken in a cast iron skillet like mom.

I LOVE fried chicken too! One of my favorite meals is fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and peas. That is comfort food at its best for me.

In this town we have KFC, Bojangles, and the deli at Kroger and Wal-Mart for fried chicken. Every few months I need my KFC fix, but prefer to make fried chicken in my own kitchen, just so I can make the gravy to go with it. I fry in oil and butter.

Popeyes spicy is good. I haven't had it in a few years. Even our grocery stores have good fried chicken. To me it seems less greasy and salty than KFC.

Sharke thank you for telling me I can get mild chicken from Popeyes. One just opened about 6 blocks from my house but heard it's spicey and I don't do that. My husband would love the spice. I got to try it out. I like KFC but Popeyes is different.

Terrible !

Love fried chicken but usually make the oven fried version since I've never been good at frying chicken in oil. I do have a cast iron skillet and should give it a try again. I have a question for you ladies regarding adding butter to the oil. Doesn't the butter burn when frying at a high temperature? Just curious.

Re: FRIED CHICKEN!

SharkE — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 04:28:00 GMT

You never fry chicken at high temps. Different pieces get done before some other pieces. I'm talking about frying a whole chicken.

White meat will cook faster then legs and thighs.

High temps will just burn and be raw on inside.

I never cared for Popeyes although it was very popular when I lived in Houston. It was too greasy forme. I've always been a fan of KFC original if I have to eat fast food chicken. My favorite meal, which I always requested, was cold fried chicken, mother's potato salad and black olives, then birthday cake.

@Kachina624 I love those great big canned sort of bland black olives eaten with a PBJ sandwich.

I used to eat Popeye’s Fried Chicken 3 x week until I looked up how much fat and salt it contained. I came down with IBS, with severe and uncontrollable diarrhea from eating too much Popeye’s chicken. I cook my own chicken now , but not fried, to control the fat and salt intake.

But, admit I do miss Popeye’s. I just don’t want to die early from a heart attack, clogged arteries due to fat, or die from a stroke due to high blood pressure.

Enjoy your Popeye’s Fried Chicken.

BTW, how many pieces do you order for yourself, and what are your favorite sides?

@EatWell I like a wing and all or part of a breast and I don't care for any of their sides. Just the chicken.
