      it says something very interesting that the chik-fil-faithful swear up and down it’s the tastiest thing ever when it’s weak soggy breaded no spice bland ass whitemeat with a fuckin’ pickle.

      makes me wonder if they’ve either never had decent chicken, or are just lying because this one chicken vendor stans for xtians lol

        I personally can’t think of any other fast food chicken sandwich that’s as good or better. Maybe Popeyes chicken sandwich if you want something crispier.

          Yeah I don’t understand the people who claim Chick-fil-a is bland.

          Soggy, sure, sometimes. All fried food can be soggy, if you go on a bad day and you get a piece that’s been sitting for too long.

          No spice, sure. Spice is relatively subjective. They do have the spicy sandwich which I think is better than the plain, but that’s my opinion, other people may not agree.

          White meat, yeah, they use white meat. I like white meat, when it’s done well, but again, that’s subjective.

          Bland though, I just can’t fathom. The way Chick-fil-a prepares their chicken before frying is a wet brine. Chemically, there is no way for wet-brined chicken to come out bland. Either osmosis takes place and salt gets inside the meat, or osmosis doesn’t happen because the salt was already there. And Chick-fil-a’s quality standards are stringent, so a particular franchise couldn’t get away with skipping that step, at least not for long. So you can call Chick-fil-a many things, but if someone calls it bland, I question if they’ve actually eaten there.

            AND YET IT IS. It’s only excitement is the pickle and fighting traffic lol.

        Dude home made fried chicken is ALWAYS better. Once a batch size gets too large it always sucks. Give it a try you wont look back.

          Commercial fryers keep a higher, more consistent temperature, which is ideal for frying food. As long as the cook knows what they’re doing, keeps the oil fresh, etc., you will always get a better result from a restaurant fryer (not talking about CFA anymore).
