UK folks, I hope you all picked one of these up when they were selling them recently.

Only chicken place we have around here and I quite like it. Heard that americans consider it bottom of the barrel tho, which makes me feel sad, but also curious to try stuff like popeyes and chick fil a.
In my experience, sometimes KFC outside America (ie. China, Malaysia) tastes better than KFC in America.

I get it every once(a few times a year) in a while because I have a particular love for their chicken tenders.

Yeah it sounds like US KFC is trash.

Worst KFC I've had was in China, but it was still edible. Here in Thailand they have spicy wings that are fantastic. They have a hint of lime along with the spice.

Not really. Had KFC in England once and once in Germany, and it wasn't very good.
Fun fact: There are only 8! KFC restaurants in the whole kingdom of Sweden.

How is Church's Chicken? Nearest one is 20 miles away, so I've never been, but always curious.

KFC is solid when it's made right. I tried Popeye's for the first time last year and was disappointed with how little meat even the chicken breast had. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I really wanted to like it.

In Louisiana, everyone eats Raising Canes. I see some people at Popeyes but I have no idea how any of the KFC's are staying open. There is never anyone over there.

Yes.

Do people even take a moment to let a question marinate in their head a moment before they post? Yes there are better places but of course people and yes people right on Era here eat at KFC.

I can do any other fast food but nothing gives me diarrhea consistently like KFC. Not exactly sure why.
More evidence (and outside of a taco bell thread or chipotle thread even!) that people here have the digestive system of toddlers.

Japan!
KFC is a Christmas tradition for some reason here in Japan. Not many other options. No popeyes or the like. If I want fried chicken though I usually get from a conbini. KFC is a bit pricey.

Yes but not as much anymore since my wife got sick from eating there. The pot pie is actually pretty good, so is Nashville hot flavor. I prefer Popeyes but it's too far from my house.

I prefer KFC to Popeyes. Tried Popeyes once like ten years ago, though, so maybe I should give it another shot.

Haven't had their fried chicken in like 10 years because Popeyes was introduced to me.

But every now and then I get a spicy zinger sandwhich

Actually that reminds me, I had KFC at an airport in Dubai during a flight transfer, and they put this amazing spicy seasoning all over the fries and popcorn chicken. Shit was mental! Basically made up for them inexplicably taking like 30 minutes to prepare it and almost making me miss my connection. You definitely do not want to be breaking into a jog on a travelator whilst cramming popcorn chicken into your face with the oil still scalding hot.

Yeah like once a month I get a craving for it and then I'm over it for a few more weeks. We don't have Popeyes or Chic-fila or any other decent fried chicken franchises in Australia though so it's not like I can go anywhere else.
This, but also it's the most convenient to reach fast food place near work.

I got KFC a bunch this summer 'cause it was $4. I was disgustingly broke. Do what you have to. But the distance b/w Popeye's and KFC is an ocean wide.

Nope

I rarely eat fried chicken anymore, but ever since I found out Chic fil A was a bastion of bigots, I switched to Xaxbys. KFC is nasty as fuck in the US. It's not as bad in Europe but I still very rarely go there. Maybe once a year

UK so there is no popeyes. I sometimes go in for a zinger burger or thigh and some beans

I really miss KFC's crispy strips, those things were superb and I went to KFC tons when they had them. Mini fillets are garbage

You could have bought an entire chicken for $5 or so when it's on sale at the grocery store. KFC is fucking ridiculously expensive for what it offers.

This would require an oven or stove. Ingredients to prepare the chicken so it's seasoned. Store to make it last longer than the day I bought it. The time to do it. These are all weird assumptions you made for no reason.

Popeyes is overrated. Don't @ me.

Enjoy that greasy ass mess you call food then, :p

Popeye's kicks the shit out of KFC every day of the week. No debate, no contest.

I can count how many times I've been to KFC, in my entire life, on one hand. I haven't had it in years. Every time I think about going, I remember just how greasy, soggy and over salted their food is.

Just had Chinese KFC 30 minutes ago, will back this up. I also found a random crinkle-cut fry in my fries so I think they might be throwing in some microwaveables in there or something.

They don't even have biscuits on the menu 🤦‍♂️

Like at least two times per year I go on a bender and eat an absurd amount of tenders for like three days. That about does it for me to not eat it for another six months.

Your biscuits are an american only thing. You'd be naive to think that all fast food places around the world don't have regionalised menus.

I travel around the world pretty regularly and I'm aware of regional menus. Church's (Texas outside the states) still has biscuits 🤷‍♂️
