Popeye's is "cajun" fried chicken vs. KFC "southern" fried chicken. When I get Popeye's, I always order it spicy. The breading is lighter than KFC's. I don't know what they fry Popeye's chicken in, but everything they serve seems incredibly unhealthy. They biscuits (which are great) are super buttery. I don't know if they still sell do this, but they used to sell their fries by weight. A large was 1 lb. After a big meal at Popeye's, you kind of feel like your blood has turned to sludge and you are sweating out grease.
