So what The Stockyard's secret?
They fry their chicken in cast iron skillets, I will not pay for anything that's deep fried.

I have not tried the Stockyard. Must try.
When I want good fried chicken I go to Chick N Joy.
In Scarborough at Morningside and Kingston Rd(S/W corner) in the Tim Horton's / No Frills / McDonald's plaza.
I've never tried Popeyes. How does it compare to KFC? (which I loathe and find dripping with grease)
I'd prefer a fried chicken that is crispy and not dripping with grease. Yeah yeah, I know it's FRIED chicken, but I hate the soggy kind.
Give this a try.Any of these places downtown? I'm in TO for a few days.
+1 imo KFC does not taste the same as it did in the 90's and 80's. It use to be so tasty back then. Now there's a strange after taste that gross's me out. Maybe they changed the oil but i cant eat there anymore. Plus seems like KFC pieces are much smaller now then in the 90's. Popeye's are bigger and tastes much better. KFC really lost their way and Popeye's got more popular.Popeye's reminds me of what KFC was 20 years ago, golden delicious fried chicken with crispy brown crust.
They did change the oil and pieces are definitely smaller. I still enjoy KFC, but it's not as good as it once was.Maybe they changed the oil but i cant eat there anymore. Plus seems like KFC pieces are much smaller now then in the 90's.
The wife and I went to Popeyes last week. It was literally dropping with grease, far too much to enjoy.I've never tried Popeyes. How does it compare to KFC? (which I loathe and find dripping with grease)

I do not like KFC any more. Wife always feels sick after. We only go there for the Taco Bell part of the menu now a days.Chick N Joy has Monday and Tuesday 2 piece + fries specials. Also sides specials. Chick N Joy allows you to sub fries with a side.
Take the Tim Hortons/ No Frills exit from mall and drive to mall across road East of Morningside. KFC is there and as Tue 2 piece + fries special.
lol ... If you stopped at the Morningside/Lawrence/Kingston Rd location you must remember the old wooden floor when it was across the street where the bank is now.Been going to Chick N Joy since the 70s, always picked up a bucket when heading for a weekend fishing. Excellent.
Got their t-shirt.Pollos Hermanos in New Mexico. I heard it's pretty addictive.
Agreed. Chick N Joy blows Popeye's, Mary Brown's, Church's, KFC out of water IMHO. Problem is that Chick N Joy is east end fare (Scarborough, Pickering, and Whitby locations). Now that I am a west end boy, will have to give Stockyards a try...... but I would give Chick N Joy the edge.
