I have to admit that when I go for fast food chicken, I am a sucker for KFC. Now, I know after they changed their oil, many people say that it does not stack up against the old version, but it can still be really good at times.
What I Got: 3-piece meal (spicy) with jalapeno poppers, cole slaw and a biscuit. $5.99
There was drama at the drive thru as I would think that in a 3-piece meal you would get a breast and two dark. Nope, they gave me all legs. My favorite piece of chicken is the thigh, but legs are okay as well. I would’ve been pretty P.O.’ed if I didn’t have a buy one, get one coupon and paid this amount for all legs. For the record, I think a 10-piece dark was $6.99 (on special).
As far as the taste, I enjoyed the spicy version a lot more than the original version. Not only was it spicier, but the breading was different as well. I think that it could’ve been a little spicier, so maybe they should call this zesty chicken. The pieces were average sized and I didn’t think they were small like KFC Grilled Chicken.
The cole slaw was bad and I think that I tossed it before I took the pic. You know the story: water, bland, and barely any recognizable vegetables.
The jalapeno poppers tasted the same as the out-of-the-box frozen kinds. There was nothing special here, but they added more spicy fried goodness to the meal.
I wouldn’t serve my biscuit to my worst blogging enemy. If you are wondering, “is he talking about me?” Probably, probably…
Would I Buy It Again? Full price, no. With a BOGO coupon, sure. I haven’t been to Church’s for quite some time and I enjoyed it more than I thought that I would. However, when I get the itch for fast food chicken, KFC Original Recipe still gets the nod.

I actually out of the 3 major chicken chains around here…KFC, Popeye’s, and Church’s, Church’s comes in dead last.
And, yes, they should change it from “biscuit” to “brick”.
Chicken is the ONLY thing I buy at Church’s lol and I am their worst enemy lol I always go when they are busy and wait till I see them drop fresh chicken, I watch closely and when its ready to come out of the hot oil, I step in line to place my order hahaha

Haha, drumsticks are my favorite! They are just made to pick up and eat! Sometimes, I just ask them to give me all legs…
I remember the last time I had Church’s.. I don’t remember the chicken being flavorful at all… it was all very bland. It was cheap though.
I just order chicken & sides for myself & co-workers @ my job. Once we bit into the chicken we discovered the chicken was spoiled. It was disgusting, smell and made me sick. I contacted the manager right away & had he send the delivery guy back to witness the uncooked chicken…… We will never order there again.
Church’s chicken tastes like dog crap. I know because I once ate crap – it came in a Church’s box.
