I think I'll stick with smaller portions on a regular basis, with some exercise thrown in for good measure!!\n\nTo celebrate my return to regular eating, I decided to go for some fast food!! For some reason, I had a craving for some chicken...\n\nThis was the first time eating chicken from this franchise. Like many people, our default fast-food chicken place would be KFC. The more adventurous folk go for Popeye's (my personal fave). \n\nThis location is situated in a little plaza which has a few fast-food choices. The strip mall also has a Starbucks, a shwarma place and Quesada Mexican grill. There's even a gas bar if you want something from the convenient store! \n\nAnyway, I had the 2-pc. chicken meal for $7.99, which normally consisted of coleslaw, a can of pop, and their famous taters. Apparently there are both small and large sized chicken pieces, and the combo usually gets 2 LG pieces. They only had small, so they gave me 3 smalls instead of 2 large. I also ordered a small gravy, which was $1.50 or something, extra. The cashier, a nice elderly lady, must have read my mind, because she said they would substitute the gravy for the slaw!! SWEET!\n\nSo, to summarize, I left the place with a bulging box of fried chicken on a bed of breaded potato wedges with gravy and pop on the side!! \n\nThe food: definitely not as greasy as KFC and more lightly seasoned than the KFC Original recipe. There is definitely less of a kick to this chicken than those from Popeye's, but that's not a dig on the taste. The chicken tasted good, without weighing me down with too much breading. The taters were VERY GOOD. I don't recall another fast food joint that makes them like this. \n\nAll in all, a satisfyingly good lunch devoid of any vegetables whatsoever!!! BONUS!\n\n:D"^^ .
