I have to start this by saying that I could spit tie a bird before I could ride a two wheeler and that's a fact. Chicken *is* what's for dinner in my house...we even joke about the question "what's for dinner? <<---answer, or the REAL question is "How do you want your chicken?" I am a KFC person, really, when it comes to parts, Royal Farms ain't too shabby either, and to be quite honest, that "other" place got my breakfast business anytime I was buying breakfast out as I thought their breakfast chicken biscuits could not be beat, and their sweet tea is the quintessential Southern Sweet Tea, if that's how you're taking it. Being mid Atlantic born and raised, we know the essential difference between North and South iced tea varieties, and we are schooled in both, thankyouverymuch. I ate there roughly three or four times a week. I can tell you now it was $6.12 for my chosen breakfast (2 chicken biscuits, and a large sweet tea, no lemon, I could never finish both biscuits, and would wind up just eating the chicken part of the other, or being generous with a friend who didn't have breakfast that morning) and that's up from the five bucks it used to be fifteen years ago when I discovered it was my favorite breakfast.

Then the dust up happened...

I can now safely say that I won't be able to tell you the incremental changes in those biscuits or the chicken they sandwiched because I won't be buying ANYTHING from them until they STOP using their money to hurt gay people. No I am not gay. No that does not matter. Cloaking HATE in the fold of religion matters a wee bit more, sue me.

So all this chicken talk got me wanting some chicken.

I got to doing some research and discovered that Popeye's donates ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE MONEY THEY ALLOCATE FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Welp, that settled it. Time for the taste of New Orleans. Dad tells me that they have spicy chicken and that scared me a bit, a la the spicy chicken filet at Wendy's that is sad and disappointing at once and you wished you'd bought the regular filet soon after biting into that mess...again I KNOW my chicken, so I decided to get the mixed box. Well, that was the only mistake, and the not spicy chicken wasn't too shabby, but their spicy chicken? IT ROCKED MY FUCKING WORLD. I thought this was because of the dust up, because of my roots with chicken, but the leftovers do not lie.

Give your kitchen and your conscience a rest, and LOVE THAT SPICY CHICKEN FROM POPEYE'S. Really.
