Kfc has a nostalgic original recipe that I will crave maybe once a year. The pot pie I think is actually the best thing there.

Other than those things, popeyes is better in almost every category.

Yes and I don't understand how this statement could even be controversial

Bucket is greater packaging than a box, but that's it.

KFC original recipe is a unique flavor. If you like it, there's no other place to get it.

I'm usually more in the mood for Popeyes spicy. Or a CFA sandwich.

it's those 11 original herbs and spices!

Quote:

Sanders' Original Recipe of "11 herbs and spices" is one of the most famous trade secrets in the catering industry.[6][7] Franchisee Dave Thomas, better known as the founder of Wendy's, argued that the secret recipe concept was successful because "everybody wants in on a secret" and former KFC owner John Y. Brown, Jr. called it "a brilliant marketing ploy."[8][9] The New York Times described the recipe as one of the company's most valuable assets.[6] The recipe is not patented, because patents are published in detail and come with an expiration date, whereas trade secrets can remain the intellectual property of their holders in perpetuity.[10]

KFC uses its Original Recipe as a means to differentiate its product from its competitors.[11] Early franchisee Pete Harman credited the chain's popularity to the recipe and the product, and John Y. Brown cites the "incredibly tasty, almost addictive" product as the basis of KFC's staying power.[12] On the other hand, Allen Adamson, managing director of brand consultancy Landor, remains unconvinced about the contribution of the secret formula aspect.[13] He argues: "The story may still be part of these companies' folklore, but I'd be surprised if more than 2 percent buy the brand because of it."[13]

In reference to the original recipe, the official Twitter account of KFC follows only eleven other accounts: Six public figures (ranging from politics to sport) named Herb as well as the five members of the Spice Girls.[14]

I believe the guy that first noticed and drew attention to it got free KFC for a year or something like that.

Wow!

I find that KFC's breast (when you get a legit big enough and good enough piece) can be > Popeye's breast.

Flame broiled chicken is a different discussion. I'd take a Pollo-Loco over KFC or Popeye's, most days. Unfortunately, both locations that were near me are now Starbucks, 10 years apart.

i dont care for vinegar i just put a little salt on em and once in a while hot sauce. today i opted for just salt. i did get a fat mountain dew and there were a couple hush puppies in the mix as well as crispies. i love LJS have my whole life never understood the prevailing negative sentiments
