Anonymous · 2026-07-01 16:27 [#4130][report] Maybe in other parts of the US, but in the northeast? Not really. Acme and Safeway are okay but more expensive than they need to be. WAKEFERN stores are always too salty. Delhaize stores are in the same boat as Acme/Safeway (probably other Albertsons stores, too) but greasier. Walmart is the fucking worst. Whole Foods and Sprouts are some northern wypipo shit and therefore overpriced and undertasty. I don't know if Met Fresh or Wegmans chicken are any good. By the time I started shipping at those stores, I already swore off supermarket stuff. The only halfway decent supermarket chicken anywhere from Delaware to Maine were Pathmark and Superfresh but they all closed (although a new one reopened in Brooklyn last year but I've no idea if it's as good as it used to be). Is fried chicken any good from Southern stores? I'm not even gonna bother asking about the Midwest or the West Coast. And since I see your getting a decent deal from an Albertsons store using Just4U, I say buy it and soon because it gets progressively shittier as it sits out. They pulled the first batch an hour ago and they might be pulling the second batch soon if you've got a popular one.

If you have a Save Mart where you live, I recommend theirs. It's worth the difference in price, the flavor is much better.

Which of the two you got was consistent by location. Even in the South, the fried chicken at Kroger is trash.
Anonymous · 2026-07-03 20:20 [#4297][report] >>20189 all fried chicken is basically the same. the difference is in how long it is allowed to sit before you buy it and how they keep it warm until it sells. this is also why kfc popeyes bojangles and the rest vary wildly from store to store and visit to visit. unless you know the chicken is being fried immediately before it it served the grocery store fried chicken is ALWAYS the best value. yes its probably been sitting for 2 hours but nobody else is selling 8 pieces for $10.

Anonymous · 2026-07-08 00:57 [#5223][report] >>20189 If your local grocery store fast food department is anything like the one I worked at, then it entirely depends on who is working that day. Everything typically comes in frozen, pre-breaded and uncooked. The deep fryers are set to a specific temperature and the uncooked chicken pieces are put in for a pre-specified amount of time, taken out, internal temperature confirmed to ensure they are cooked, then placed in the hot case. Sometimes employees get busy or forget to push the start button and you get overcooked/burnt chicken. The chicken pieces are considered "fresh" if they have been in the hot case for less than 2 h, and are only "required" to be replaced if they've been in for 4+ hours. I put required in quotes because it is rare that they actually get replaced every 4 hours; if there's still a lot of fried chicken left at like 5 pm and the batch is from 11 am, it would be unlikely that anybody put a new batch in. Not uncommon for fried chicken made at 11am to be sold at 7pm. Problem is at that point, it takes 10 minutes and 30 seconds to cook a bag of fried chicken in the fryer and that's often too long for most customers to wait so the employees often figure it's better to not waste food if nobody's going to buy it which is why it sometimes sits out for so long - at least there's something in the hot case. I've heard some customers say that when it's fresh it's better than anything from any of the fast food chicken places and when it's been sitting around all day it's inedible. It depends entirely on who is working and how "by the book" they are.
