I see the chicken size post, and match you this pathetic excuse of ‘food’. US penny for scale.

    I’ve tried several Popeyes locations and I’ve gotten half cooked chicken every time. I’m not a fan of gooey, medium rare chicken. I wish frying chicken at home wasn’t such a messy pain in the ass.

      Wish granted! Air fryer fried chicken

      Personally, I use sous vide to cook the seasoned chicken at 155F for 90 minutes, then coat it in batter/oil mix, roll it in seasoned panko and put it in the air fryer at 450F for 10-15 minutes. No pot of oil or grease splattered all over the stove. Chicken is tender, juicy, well-seasoned, has a crispy, crunchy crust, and is never raw at the bone.

        Thank you! I have been thinking about an air fryer, it’s just so big and I have so little counter/cupboard space. I might have to sacrifice the microwave to make room 😆 I don’t even have room to think about a sous vide. Is the air fryer hard to clean? It looks hard to clean.

          Not much harder to clean than a pot. You just pull out the basket fully and wash it. I haven’t felt the need to clean the heating element part thoroughly but I imagine that’s not gonna be harder to do than you would have to with an oven.

      I’ve eaten at Popeye’s three times, and gotten food poisoning from them three times. Don’t let it be said I can’t take a hint. 🤮

      It’s such a shame, because I’ve always liked his cartoons.
