Church’s Fried Chicken Arrives in Midtown

DSC09835
DSC09749I love fried chicken… and can you blame me?  I won’t step anywhere near a McDonalds, but KFC or Popeyes? You probably aren’t going to want to get in my way.  I don’t know why that is.  Oh wait- yes I do.  Fried chicken is amazing.  And, if you are as big a fried chicken fan as me you might be interested in knowing that a branch of Church’s Chicken recently opened inside that mini food court on 8th Avenue between 44+45th.

I’ll admit, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at Church’s.  I was always a KFC fan growing up, a Popeye’s fan later in life (after spending so much time in New Orleans), and I had a brief flirtation with Bojangles in 1986.  But never Church’s.  Anybody a big fan?  Feel free to sound off in the comments.  I’m curious if this new addition to the Midtown Lunch’ing landscape is something to get excited about…

  • Based on some of the feedback that I have gathered from this site, I have been trying to convince an investor group to open a Korean style fried chicken (ie: Bonchon Chicken) in Midtown.

    Do you think you would go for after work chicken and beer? If anyone has suggested locations, please let me know. I am thinking somewhere in the 50’s btw 6th Ave and Madison?

  • Bossman found himself in Newark, NJ of all places last evening. Lo and behold behind the Pru Center he wandered into a Bojangles and proceeded to devour the crunchiest- crusted, moistest-interior leg and thigh he has ever had. The coating wasn’t quite as up front with the spices as some of the others but it has a nice followthrough of heat in the mouth. The biscuit was a little dry (and ginormous) and the dirty rice was standard but the chicken was sublime. In the words of my new favorite flogger that shit was “the shizz!”

    His lily-white ass stood out like a sore thumb but he didn’t care, the $3 crack ho’s, soap sellers and panhandlers only served to provide ambiance. How many places do you get a dinner show with your $5.99 combo?

    Damned you ML, Bossman will never be able to pass one by again without partaking.

    You left out his next line though:
