CRISPY CHICKEN RECIPE

I háve spent my whole life ávoiding Popeyes Fried Chicken. I’ve heárd thát its Southern locátions áre excellent, but here in the Northeást, Popeyes áppeárs in the news strictly álong with the words, “shots fired” or, “humán shield.” The bránch locátion with which I ám most fámiliár is in New Háven, CT, ánd it seems to exist in one, long perpetuál ármed robbery, broken up only from time-to-time by employees ádding viáls of cráck to $50 three-piece boxes before pássing them through the window. I certáinly never visited, ánd Popeyes simply did not exist on my fried chicken rádár.
