    why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?

    Delivery, most likely.

        Yeah, most fast food places here have delivery options now, usually partnered through UberEats or GrubHub or one of those apps. At least in the cities, they do.

        Otherwise, they also will typically let you order online so you can schedule it to be ready when you get there to pick it up, yourself.

          even here in the boonies we have doordash now… just as expensive as in the city, and just as cold whenif you get it.

          and i think you can still pay a one-way taxi fare and have them pick up an order and deliver. it has to be ready, waiting and already paid for–they won’t wait. this is the cheaper option, because you’re paying menu prices. not third-party ‘app’ prices plus bullshit fees and surcharges. fare is about 5 bucks anywhere in town.

          My point is KfC chicken really isn’t the best choice these days

            I agree, I’m not a big fan of most of their menu these days. Though, their Famous Bowls always hit hard.

            They’re graded like any other restaurant.

              To each there own I suppose. I personally won’t do that. At least not in the US.

          I went to a Krispy Krunchy Chicken at a gas station while travelling a few months ago… Gas station chicken has no business being that good.

            Omg especially when they let it sit and it’s extra spicy!

          A gas station several miles away makes amazing tasting food. I’m sure the fried chicken is fried in the cheapest transfat oil, but I’ve largely moved away from meat. I still eat it but I feel better when I restrict it. They also have baked chicken, meatloaf, etc and the veggies are slamming. And it’s not always cheaper anymore, to do it yourself, unless you catch a free ride that day and exchange your time.

            Bike, walk, pay too much in time, money, effort, etc, or make friends and catch your rides when you can, understanding it may come at a mutual inconvenience.

            Walking or asking a friend if they have time, usually at a cost of some gas.
