Fried chicken is a dish consisting of chicken pieces usually from broiler chickens which have been floured or battered and then pan-fried, deep fried, or pressure fried. The breading adds a crisp coating or crust to the exterior of the chicken. What separates fried chicken from other fried forms of chicken is that generally the chicken is cut at the joints, and the bones and skin are left intact. Crisp well-seasoned skin, rendered of excess fat, is a hallmark of well-made fried chicken.
The fried chicken I will be reviewing today is from a popular fast food chain called Popeyes. I’ll start off by saying that the chicken was very greasy. It was a bit messy to eat and keep your hands clean. But other than that, the chicken was well seasoned and the texture of the skin was perfect.
