I guess you can still call it good but they switched to Tyson on the East Coast like 10 years ago and yeah it's bland and generic.
KFC in North America could learn a thing or two from KFC in China. It's their McDonald's.
Twenty years ago? Probably?
Ten years ago? Doubtful
But the past few years have seen most of the fast food fried chicken places go hard on chicken sandwiches. And even mcdonald's has stepped up their game to being actually pretty decent.
Mostly chikfila just coasts on their recognition from 20 years ago and the zealots who refuse to try anything else.
Incidentally you can tell which universe a person is from by how they spell Chik-fil-a
You spell it the way it was spelled in my original universe
Fast food also varies so much across the US. I talked up Chick-fil-A so much after having it in Texas, and then when I brought my girlfriend to one in Florida it was garbage.
Dave's Hot Chicken would like a word with you.
Well if there was one within a thousand miles of me Maybe it could
It's also pretty expensive
Popeye's is better. I've had Chick-fil-A once (bought for me) and it was exactly what it looked like: a chicken sandwich. It was a bit bland and watery.
Let me guess, someone bought it for you, let it sit in a bag for an hour, and then gave it to you...and you judge the entire franchise off this one experience
That's a fucking weird guess. No. It was a client on site and Chick-fil-A was about 5 minutes gotten the road. It would be weird for my client to have ordered mine an hour before the fifteen people I was training.
My question is...why the fuck are you so defensive of a mediocre fast food chain?
Because it's good chicken, and I think it's hilarious that the groupthink has extended to where people are pretending it's not, because that's better politics.
Sorry but no, I've had a good amount of chicken sandwiches and it is decidedly mediocre and honestly no better than Wendy's. You seem to think it's not group think on the part of people raving about a mediocre chicken sandwich. That is a bit silly, don't you think?
I recall asking why they thought it was so good and most of them said it was the sauces that you can get. I think one or two people mentioned the service. The sauces were okay but nothing special. I can't comment on the service but that is not something I generally care about for fast food outside of making sure my order is right.
One thing I do like is that they have (the option of) whole grain buns... I've been unable to find that elsewhere.
If juicy=flavorful then sure, it's flavorful. I look for more though.
