I remember KFC as a kid and I thought it was decent the few times I had it, but then…I was a kid in a very rural area and we didn’t eat out very often.
Then I had some in the late 90s and I thought it was so disgusting, I never went back. The co-workers I went there with (I forget why we even went since there were better options - maybe it was about trying to get something really fast) all compared what we got to rat meat…
I’ve been vegetarian the past 20+ years so obviously it’s a no-go now anyway, but I think it’s been pretty bad for a very long time.
The late-90s/early-2000s seems to be when the drop-off was. If I’m getting fast food fried chicken these days I’m going for Popeye’s or Church’s. But the “knows ball” move with fried chicken is to get it from a local grocery store. The G&W a couple of blocks from my house has legitimately good fried chicken.
