Deep-frying pretty much any food guarantees that it will be crave-worthy and delicious. However, there's something especially magical about what happens to chicken when you drop it into some bubbling oil. When executed just right, the poultry emerges juicy and flavorful on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside. Let's face it: Few dishes scream 'comfort food' quite as loudly.
Because a bone-in fried chicken bucket or meal typically comes with several different parts of the bird, I made sure to order a combo from both KFC and Popeyes that included a leg, breast, thigh, and wing. The size and type of chicken varies between each piece, so I wanted to see if KFC and Popeyes could achieve a consistent flavor and texture throughout the whole meal.
The taste: Savory, rich, and super comforting. Popeyes' chicken was right on the nose in terms of flavor. Each piece of chicken was perfectly salted from the breading to the bone, and that blend of Louisiana spices gave the flavor a really pleasant depth and savoriness. The breading was also remarkably crispy, even an hour after I picked up my order. Meanwhile, the interior of all the chicken pieces was juicy and perfectly cooked. I had trouble finding any fault with this delightful poultry.
