I've never understood the love for Chikfila. Maybe it's just been the ones I've been to, but the chicken fingers and nuggets seemed average at best. Now Popeye's, I'll gladly go to every once in a while with the understanding that I'll likely need to take a nap after. Their biscuits are a meal in itself, probably containing 4-6 sticks of butter, but damned if it isn't delicious.

The Chick-fil-a chicken tenders taste okay enough on their own, but they really don't taste like the nuggets or the chicken on the sandwich. Like it's a different coating, different seasoning. Not sure why. I like Popeye's just fine, but Church's Chicken! Now that's some tasty stuff. :-) I am five minutes from either Popeye's or Chick-fil-a, but the nearest Church's is hours away.

  Its all the same coating, but the strips are dark meat and the filet/nuggets are white meat. At least they were when I worked there.

    Back when I worked there (mid-late 90's) the chick-n-strips were actually marinated in the same stuff as the Chargrilled chicken sandwich. Both items are no longer on the menu, and were vastly superior to their offerings today, IMHO.

I like Chick-fil-A's wafers. They are so tasty. Its the main reason why I would go there.

>I've never understood the love for Chikfila. It's almost.. almost, like people have different taste and texture preferences. To be fair, many people hate Chipotle because it's "not real Mexican food" but love Taco Bell, and probably just as many enjoy food from either place just because it's a certain kind of food. Not everybody is going for something that's a 100% perfect fit to what it's marketed as.

  I guess I don't understand the preference for bland mushy chicken.

Waffle fries, and pickle brine on the sandwiches. And they keep their restaurants clean. And frosted lemonade.
