Jays Krispy Fried Chicken Review, Sikeston, MO
Once you’ve done “throwed rolls” (Lamberts) you’re left with few choices in Sikeston. Jay’s Krispy Fried Chicken is one of them, and they’ve been around a long time. Also heard they have a buffet, so you know I’m down (up) for that. Rolled in, ordered at the counter. “Do you want a breast or wings?” […]

KFC Georgia and Nashville Chicken Review – Nationwide
I’ve always been impressed at the vertical/horizontal menu expansions at Yum Brands restaurants (Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC).

Miss Dots Chicken Review, Tuscaloosa, AL
I’ll wander off the beaten path to try a place I’ve heard about it. It’s a crap shoot. But for a couple years I’ve been infatuated with “sourthern style” fried chicken, and did a fast food comparison tour across the south for chicken tenders, and I’ve written a number of pieces on gas station chicken.
