Popeye’s isn’t good in my local area. But I’d guess it’s the staff working there. I have even waited for a fresh batch. But I have had decent Popeye’s before.
For spicy chicken I got spoiled and tried some Gus’s Fried Chicken in Memphis on a trip there a few years back. It was great and I got to watch back in the kitchen from where I sat

Consistency of quality is totally lacking. Ditto for Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. Consistency is the Achilles Heel of many chicken franchises, |

Memphis. Also serve your chicken on a slice of white bread. Tried deep fried green tomato for the first time ever there as well

Open kettle fry in a deep fryer set at 340 F. (170 C.) throughout, and fry for 13 minutes.

The above recipe would likely also serve as a launching pad (starting base) for the cloning KFC Extra Crispy.

underpressure, might you outline the 'dredge' process in a bit more detail. It sounds interesting.
