Yesterday around lunch I decided to try KFC’s Kentucky Fried Wings. Now I liked their old hot wings because if they cooked it right it was a good mix of flavor, heat, and not being burnt (sometimes their wings would be mummified). Now don’t get me wrong, I like the local KFC. Their service is spotty, a little slow, but the people are nice, and they will try and make things right. I placed an order for their new wings unsauced because who wants fried wings drenched in sauce when you can have the little cups to pour over them? Anyways I signed up for DoorDash, put my order in and then waited. Since the KFC is literally less than a mile away (remember my Cal Ripken like streak of not driving or wearing shoes?), add to that free delivery, and it was a no brainer. Well 30 minutes later I received my food.
My wings were covered in their honey BBQ sauce (remember the service is spotty), the DoorDash driver was wearing a KFC shirt which means she works at my KFC, and it is a pretty good racket to get out of the restaurant for a couple of minutes, drop off food, and earned a tip without ever talking to the customer. The wings were ok, it’s still the same wings but covered in sauce, and for the price I would stick to WingStop for a couple of dollars more. If I would rate the wings based on the wing spots here withing a 10 mile radius it would be:
WinCo (the local grocery store) - same amount of wings, half the price, and their salt & vinegar wings are really good.
WingStop - I really like being able to order all flats.
Pizza Hut - Surprisingly not bad
KFC - You would think a place that serves chicken would be higher
Domino’s - You’re better off buying frozen wings and cooking them yourself
(Small town problems. Now if we were talking Mexican Food, we easily have some of the best spots in the state)
There is a mom & pop BBQ spot I haven’t tried but they are on the DoorDash list so I might give them a try next week if I decide to give another go at eating fast food. Alright Pixlpeeps have a good one and WASH YOUR HANDS!
That’s all for now,more tomorrow!

Wingstop is my favorite for wings, but we have some excellent local deals on wings at local businesses here that approach the quality. I pretty much only get garlic parmesan wings.
But damn, if Domino's is lower than Pizza Hut (not a huge fan; they're ok but lowest on my area's totem pole) on your list, I'm staying away from those.
Oh I am with you on Garlic Parmesian. Those are my go to when I do order from WingStop.
Yeah the Domino wings here are really bad. I tried them once because they were running a special and it was just a mess of burnt tiny wings that stuck to the box.
I like chicken, but I'm kind of particular about fast food chicken. I don't hate chicken wings, but I never crave them so I won't ever get them on my own volition. Not really a big fan of places like KFC, Church's, or Popeye's. But I do like Chicken Express and Zaxby's. I used to eat Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich all the time, but the Wendy's near where I work kind of sucks so I don't go there much anymore. But in the past, Wendy's has been one of my favorite fast food places. But as I get older, I like fast food less and less in general.
I don't think we have a Zaxby's in California, but I have seen the commercials thanks to out of market football games. I love Popeye's and Church's but I can't eat it all the time. Those were my big weekend chicken spots in college.
Man I wish we had a Wendy's nearby. The nearest one is outside my 10 mile radius.
I have a rule to only go to a wing place that has mango habanero. Not saying they're the only ones I like (though they are very tasty), just that it's a sign the place has their shit together.
I dig it food rules. I have some of my own that I like to follow, like if I go to a Hawaiian spot I always order the Chicken Katsu. If they mess that up I know the rest of their food is garbage and I won't eat there again.
Not wearing shoes and eating wings. Sound like a Paleo lifestyle. You're letting someone else deliver it to you. That's not Paleo though. You need to walk down there and throw a rock to make them give you the wings. Now that's Paleo. (don't mind me, I've just been reading about the Paleo diet and stumbled across the lifestyle, which i didn't know anything about until yesterday. The things humans do. I think it deserves a reality show.).
I just Google'd it and holy cow how did I not know this was a thing? People sure do love their fad diets and heck yeah it deserves a reality TV show.
yeah actually Pizza Hut's wings are not bad at all. I think I tried Little Caesar's once though and they were terrible.
Ooh Little Caesars has wings. I'm always the one that goes after Hot & Ready pies but I might give them a shot to see where they stand.
