I jus don’t know who’s better....

Popeyes by a mile.....Spicy, dark meat with lots of hot sauce!  Crap, now I want some for dinner!

None of the above. 

Popeye's chicken is better, but KFC has the taters & gravy

Care to elaborate?

Cajun food is always better!

KFC... just not the KFC in Howell.

Don’t eat either one... fast food fried chicken is crap.

Ill give you my mommas fried chicken recipe. Epic fried chicken ain’t rocket surgery.  Mom used to make this for Sunday dinner. She started it on Friday night. 

Brine your chicken pieces overnight in a mix of brown sugar, and kosher salt, and water. 

Remove from brine, and soak it in buttermilk overnight. 

After that, dredge it in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 

Fry it in peanut oil in a cast iron skillet at 375 until it gets a nice scald on it. It won’t be fully cooked through at his point. Take it out of the oil, and place it on a wire rack, put it in the oven at 350 while you cook the rest of the bird. In about 20 mins, it’ll be cooked through. 

You’ll thank me later...

I go for biscuits and their pot pie... [emoji106]

Popeyes by far.  Better breading, less greasy chicken.  Spicy/Mild choice is great.  Side choices are better at Popeyes too.  Fries are better.  Also - 2 words:  Cajun Sparkle.  If you haven't tried that stuff, do it!

The only thing I like more from KFC is the Mashed Potato Bowl with popcorn chicken, corn, and gravy...  But 1 dish does not a winner make.

Neither, I pretty much don't eat any fast food. Homemade fried chicken all the way. 

Homemade is always best, of course... but if you have a sudden fried chicken craving one night, you might not have the time or the patience for all that brining, soaking, breading and frying (cuz that's a helluva lot of waiting!...). In those cases, Popeye's is a quick, quilty pleasure. It has my vote!

And a bunch of famous chefs appear to agree: https://firstwefeast.com/eat/2016/01/chefs-love-popeyes

 

Popeyes no question.  KFC is too greasy and its not what it used to be like everything else these days. Popeyes has a lot more sides to choose from as well and there's one 5 min from me.

Hood chicken shacks are the way to go.

If you aren't at least a little bit scared and looking over both shoulders during the purchase, you aren't getting the good stuff. 

Chick-Fil-A. It drives certain political persuasions wild.

I actually find the fried chicken from Acme to be better than KFC! I like Popeyes but they seem to vary significantly in quality from location to location. I actually think the chicken sandwiches from Wendy's are better than Chick-Fil-A. The problem with hood chicken is more often than I like it leaves you praying to the porcelain throne, either top or bottom with some bacteria growth of an undetermined origin!

Yep.  The Popeye's in Eatontown is like that.  Chicken 50/50 chance you will get a good meal.  everything else is overcooked.  The spicy curly fries are the cat's ass though.

The thing is, you douse it enough Yi Pin hot sauce packets that it begins to work as a disinfectant!

^^^ This. Acme fried chicken is the best in this area and I've tried them all.

KFC and Popeyes are about equal. Church's I found better, but you really take your life in your hands going to one of them. I think I have had it twice but both times were good. In NJ Chicken Galore has all 3 of them beat, but I am sure there is better than Chicken Galore too. Chicken & More in Howell used to be the best.

2nd bojangles 

it's like Trump vs. Hillary with Trump being Popeyes.....in a landslide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you like fresh meaty crispy chicken then get popeyes.

If you like rubbery tasteless microwaved chicken thats tougher than a dogs chew toy and like your chicken from Chernobyl farms then KFC.  

I'd have to say Popeye's between the two.  Everytime I go to KFC they're out of whatever I want.

I must agree with @Displaced Texan.  Most fast food is crap.  I must try his Mother's recipe.

I got my best cookin' girls on it!

You must have something there, I know Texas and those people can back their Boasting!

Thanks for sharing....

 

Re OP

I like both for a take out meal, once in a while. The sides are better at Popeyes, though.

Royal farms is pretty damn good .

I like the sides that both places offer, but prefer the chicken more at Popeyes. I wish Roy Rogers was still around or one that is close by.
