The Clubhouse seems to be missing a thread about the Colonel's legacy, and I cannot accept that, even if his franchise has strayed from his vision:

The Motherfucking Colonel Himself posted:

"They prostituted every goddamn thing I had. I had the greatest gravy in the world and those sons of bitches they dragged it out and extended it and watered it down that I'm so goddamn mad."

"My God, that gravy is horrible. They buy tap water for 15 to 20 cents a thousand gallons and then they mix it with flour and starch and end up with pure wallpaper paste. And I know wallpaper paste, by God, because I've seen my mother make it...they add some sludge and sell it for 65 or 75 cents a pint. There's no nutrition in it and they ought not to be allowed to sell it... [The] crispy recipe is nothing in the world but a drat fried doughball stuck on some chicken."

Popeyes may have usurped the Colonel's leadership in the fast food fried chicken game, but KFC will probably never die. Talk about Japanese Christmas orders and the surprisingly tasty Buffalo Chicken Little sandwich ITT. Harland Sanders would want you too, and as the rare twentieth century Kentuckian who nobody can ever remember using racial slurs, I think he's earned it.

I like the chicken, especially the extra crispy, but most of the sides are glue and their biscuits are bricks.

Nashville Hot Chicken is a stupid hipster Man Vs Food made up thing. It is objectively bad. Too spicy to get any kind of balance of aromas or depth, the overuse of chili or paprika interferes with proper crust formation and it just creates a red mud on the outside which also makes the chicken retain too much temperature insulation and burn your mouth. and your dessert for suffering through all this is a white piece of bread

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
KFC in the UK did something to their fries that turned them from something borderline acceptable to "just chuck them in the bin if they're part of your meal". They also changed their logistics chain which meant that almost every restaurant in the country ran out of chicken for a week or two while they switched distributors

Actual hot chicken in Nashville owns, but let’s never forget that the origin story is that it was created to punish a philandering husband.

Pretty much everybody not in Nashville gets it wrong though. Hint: if your “Nashville hot chicken” has sauce on it, it isn’t Nashville hot chicken. (I AM LOOKING AT YOU COLONEL.)

KFC was maybe still good fast food chicken 20+ years ago or whatever, but it's pure trash now.

Apparently the original stuff from when the colonel was still alive & kicking was fantastic.

Yeah real Nashville hot chicken is genuinely good and has a unique flavor profile that isn't just "die motherfucker" unless you order one of the top heat levels they have as a joke.

Copycat hot chicken is almost always pure poo poo. Hell, hot chicken in Nashville sold by a place that isn't a hot chicken place specifically will probably taste like rear end too.

chiming in to say this is objectively incorrect. Hot chicken was first made by a black woman in the 1930s, and then that Prince family opened a chicken shack. White people even came to get it during segregation, which of course was A Big Thing. Prince's is still around, though the primary location (aka in a zero tourist part of town) had a fire a year ago and hasn't reopened yet. Luckily they have other locations. But the 45+ minute wait is worth it, because oh my god is it good.

Now, the trend of white restaurateurs making everything "hot chicken" is pretty hipster and maybe even a form of gentrification, considering its history. but most hot chicken outside of Nashville is not even close to the real thing anyway.

Also have no idea what you're talking about with "proper crust formation" because the lard- or oil-based sauce goes on after the chicken is fried. also that bread soaked in hot orange grease is loving delicious

I think your problem is you just don't like hot chicken, which is ok, but get the history right at least

They've probably had "hot chicken" in the same way most Americans have had "Chinese" food.

I don't eat Panda Express and then call Chinese food garbage for dipshits.

The Smokey Mountain BBQ sauce is worlds better than Nashville Hot. It's still on the website but last time I stopped in my KFC they'd taken it off the menu.

KFC has that peach Mt. Dew which is FIRE.

Popcorn chicken is hard to get wrong. Likewise, the chicken littles are pretty decent!

I find myself drawn every few months to the KFC chicken pie. I’m under no illusions that it’s not just like kept under a heat lamp or whatever but as part of the whole $5 fill up thing I’m a fan of the price point. Plus, you get a cookie.

I haven’t had KFC in ages but I was reminded that there’s one in town that people have hated for 15+ years because—assuming they even have chicken that day—the service is glacial and the staff completely indifferent about anything. Everyone in the area knows about it and the reviews are all over the internet but it’s always busy so I guess through sheer force of will it’s established itself as the heel kfc and that kinda rules tbf
