Their original recipe chicken breasts are so damn good.
Hard to screw up mashed/gravy and coleslaw too. Tiger Fan recommended Popeye's. Tried it and I wasn't impressed.

I like the chicken well enough and I do love that sodium bomb KFC gravy more than I'd ever want to admit.Their original recipe chicken breasts are so damn good.
It's just that other places are better and I don't see how there's room for them in places with other options. Especially with no decent sandwich or breakfast.

I have never seen anyone cut up, boil or mash potatoes in a KFC. I have seen them adding water to potato powder however.Their original recipe chicken breasts are so damn good.

Not going to search...cause I don't care enough.
But yeah, some here did make claims that they would lose money over their stance on things.

There was a time when Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich was pretty dang spicy and the best in the land. Like 15 years ago. But they changed the recipe I guess, because it is really tame now. Chickfila is much better.

I moved to within 1 mile of one of these places and I've only been there about 10 times in 2 years. That's not because I wouldn't want it it's just because I know it's not good to have all the time. The chicken fingers are off the handle.
For what it's worth I'm far far far from a holy roller. That said I respect CFA. Only because they practice what they preach. You want to play the Jesus card then you should be closed on Sundays. I respect them for that alone.

If they really wanted to play the Jesus card they should give all of their food/money away.

My first order when they open is gonna be "One of everything."
Do they have Franch dressing for a nugget-dipping sauce?

Polynesian sauce FTW. The chick-fil-a sauce isn't bad. Not a fan of any of the others.

What do you mean by "from scratch"? Everything comes pre packaged, except a couple ingredients on the salads. The fries are frozen, the chicken breasts come pre processed (no whole chickens used). All they do is thaw them completely and bread them in store. The are brined in pickle juice too.Willie Neslon said:You will love Chicfil-a.

The fries are cut from real potato and then frozen. Everything else is from scratch. yes they bring in the chicken, of course.What do you mean by "from scratch"?

Awesome....they fry them in peanut oil. They don't get "bad" until they are stone cold. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Interesting definition. The lemonade is as close to "from scratch" that they have IMO. All the buns, components to the deserts, salads, dressings, sauces etc are pre done. Though they do wait to add chicken to salads at order time. Yes, I worked at one of these places when I was in high school. The chicken meat is actual chicken breast though...not processed like other "patty" type chicken sandwiches.The fries are cut from real potato and then frozen.

Yeah, all they use is salt, so seasoning varies from batch to batch....easily fixable at consumption though.

Fries being crispy and PIPING HOT are more important than them being overly flavorful.

Go at lunch time. It will appear to be an hour long line but it will only take 5 minutes to get through. Guaranteed hot fries during that time. Sometimes in the late afternoon, they are luke warm <_<

Seriously? I've never had a waffle fry at CFA that wasn't piping hot. Don't you eat in one of the pews inside? And even if I did, a simple "Hey this isn't quite right" and suddenly 6 alter boys, 4 nuns and 2 clergyman come running out to assist.

Damn good posting. It sure did. Sadly, it's an industry epidemic. The Big Mac should be called the "Slightly bigger than a normal cheeseburger Mac" now.
And don't even get me started on the SLOP at BK. Not only is it hideous food, but the burgers keep shrinking year after year.

LolI could eat there every day just for the food - but this really seals the deal for me. The robotic responses make it so easy to mess with them. Getting a refill and the girl at the next register was just standing there with no customers. So I look over and say "Thank you" for no reason and she smiles and says "my pleasure." The girl getting my refill says "Oh, was that regular or caffeine free?" and I respond "regular" and then look over at the girl with no customers "Thank you" she responds "my pleasure" but now looks more likeThen when the first girl hands me my refill I say "OK" and she says "my pleas-" I look over at the other girl - she won't look at me.

I think the fries are very overrated.
They aren't bad...just not nearly as good as some gush about them.
Breakfast (chicken minis) is definitely good.
The new grilled nuggets aren't that terrible either.

Like Cappy said the fries are easily the most inconsistent item on the menu. They can be fantastic or crap if they've sat out too long. That's not often though as they know what they are doing.

Please use every time you use the phrase "from scratch". It's clearly a unique definition for you. There's a reason the Merita bread truck shows up at our Chick-fil-a daily and why there are so many preservatives (around 15) in their sandwiches. That's all I can tell you. I feel
for even going down this path, so you can have the last word.

Oh....and I agree with everyone on breakfast...fantastic! Going right now!
