there are a lot of fast food restaurants that are famous for their chickens. I think I have tried most of them but I still haven't tried Popeye's [ i might soon ] . My personal favorite would be KFC's and well, the spicy one in Jollibee. I also like my mom's cooking, and my friend, I really don't know how she does it but sure is finger lickin good like in KFC. Can you cook fried chicken the same taste as in restaurants? can you please teach me how? thank you.

I would sure like to know the secret recipe used in KFC. I really like KFC, but most of the restaurants near me have closed. there are none nearby. I have had popeyes, when they first opened they were good, now they are just mediocre. I fry chicken from time to time, but it does not come near KFC. My mother can fry chicken really well. I need to find out what she uses on it. I do not eat the skin, I take it off, but the flavor of the chicken is still good.

I definately cannot make fried chicken good like most of the restaurants. I know popeyes is decent if you like it like a fast food kind of place like KFC. Another good fast food chicken is Church's Chicken, have you ever tried them before. They're pretty good. But as for cooking it yourself good luck.

My family likes POopeye's chicken better than KFC. I think it's because there is less coating. WE usually have to get the sparkles to put on it too. You have to find the right one too. Some chicken places with the franchises do better than others. The KFC near us is terrible as far as we are concerned. They really put way too much coating on their chicken. I like some coating but some time there is just more coating than chicken.

We eat Popeyes once in a while. But we are more of a KFC family. I wish I could cook the chicken like the restaurants. But alas, I cannot. It would be a money saver. Wonder if there is a recipe online.

I love KFC chicken as well I can't cook chicken like the restaurants but i wish i knew their secrets.We will never find out.You can try a few shake and bakes.They come in different flavours.Just add your chicken into a bag and the mixture,which is included in the box,shake it until well coated and then take out of bag and cook in oven.

I know there are a lot of places out there that make and serve chicken and some are better than others,my personal favorite has always been KFC because they have some of the best chicken that you can find anywhere,especially there original which is the only kind I will eat,and whenever my mom wants chicken she always picks up a bucket from KFC and brings it home,along with sides such as macaroni and cheese,baked beans,and cold slaw,and my brother used to work at KFC so I would go up and wait for him to get off some days,and he was able to give me a discount so I always got me a two piece leg and thigh meal with double macaroni and cheese and a biscuit,but I never would eat the biscuit because I do not really like their biscuits,and I do not know of anyone who can fix fried chicken as good as KFC's but if they could they could probably make some money.

hmnnn...want to know how? You need some cooking lessons from me. Well the secret for tasty chicken is to squeez some lemon and salt on it and let is set for 30 minutes. If possible you must inject it with lemon and salt too so the taste would go into its very meat. After thirty minutes, coat it with flour sprinkled with salt and pepper to taste, then dip it in egg and coat it with breading. the secret to a tasty and delicious fried chicken is to deep fry it. Try it now and tell me if it's true.

No. I cannot cook chicken anywhere near the way KFC does. I wish I could, it would save me a fortune when I buy it for my children. KFC is the best around. I think I could just eat the batter/skin on its own. I am not a fan of chicken, but the spices on that chicken are delicious. Yes finger licking good. Now I know whats for my dinner tonight. I do not cook on friday (it is my night of now) so im going to KFC.
