All we need now is Kooky to tell us the best fried chicken comes from somewhere in Park Slope or New Jersey and we'll be good here.

A make it yourself chicken biscuit with Lee's strips is better than a Chick-Fil-A biscuit. And I love Chick-Fil-A biscuits.

Ahem...
We found a place in Vernon, NJ that does honey-dipped fried chicken, we hit it up yesterday on our way back from NYC. Can't think of any places in the Albany,NY area that does chicken livers/gizzards, usually ended up making them myself.

False. Lee's bunk *** probably doesn't even have cheese.

Strips are NEVER better than other chicken parts. Get this through your teen heads.

Man, Lee's was good when I was a child. But it was what I grew up eating and didn't know any better, so this news hurts.

I plan on hitting up a surviving Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken in Middlesboro upon my return home on November 24th.

Indeed, Lee's gizzards remain da bomb.

Zaxby's tastes like eating a salt package with each chicken tender.

But have you ever gotten the fish at Lee's?

KFC isn't even worthy of mention, please.

Sandwiches/Breakfast: CFA (I'll accept Wendy's Spicy)
Real Chicken: Popeyes
Tenders (if you're a woman or have children): Cane's

As far as chains go, Pretty much everywhere else can get pumped & should try cow foods.

Lmao you and your boomer *** chicken takes keep getting worse.

Fish at Lee's? Dude! Let me tell you. After 30+ years hanging around Lee's in TN and KY, and maybe once or twice in FL, I honestly had absolutely zero, ZERO, idea Lee's ever offered fish. Hell, last visit to Lee's buffet a couple years ago, perhaps 2017 with ex brother in-law in Middlesboro, we raided all the chicken offerings. Protein overdose.

The Wednesday 3-piece special was the bomb and a weekly visit back in the 90's and 00's. Now we drive by Lee's on the way to Popeye's when the monthly urge hits.

Fish on Fridays. Maybe just during Lent but it was pretty good, hell of a lot better than LJS.

yeah, here's this post from Bardstown.

Presently at Lee's in Middlesburo. Gizzards = killer as usual. Dumplings are above average.

And they offer fish every Friday night.

Lee's is delicious. The one in Harrodsburg always kills it for lunch, especially on Fridays when the buffet has catfish.

Stopped in at that one about 3 weeks ago in the evening. They gave me an entire to go box full of livers because the lady saw how happy I was they had them. She went Oprah on the livers. I ate them for the next couple of days.

Best livers I ever had. I am an expert.

Every time I talk about chicken, a white man pulls the Southand Sav-A-Lot out his ***.

There's a post on Lex sub of Reddit megahyping their chicken. It's about to get gentrified all to hell.
