It's not only good, it's very affordable. Always clutch at $4.99 at Food Lion.

Also Walmart's fried chicken is surprisingly good and family sized.

Walmart popcorn chicken is guaranteed to be soggy and gross if you ever have to have it delivered.

Should I ask how you returned them after borrowing them?

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.

There was some supermarket chain in Wisconsin I would get fried chicken from. Normally I wouldn't get fried chicken from a supermarket. I like Walmart's rotisserie chickens but I am hesitant to try the fried chicken as it always has a ton of humidity on the lid and I don't normally go there early enough to get it from the actual deli.

My mother gets fried chicken from the local Jewel/Osco deli. It's decent. Personally I prefer Brown's, but the only one not infested by poos is nearly 20 miles away.

It's pretty good, but I'd rather go to a reputable fried chicken establishment since it always tastes better there.

my Winn Dixie's fried chicken is as good as any I've had but I've never been to any small businesses known for having the best fried chicken

It can be, but it has to be as fresh as possible. They all use some all encompassing spice mix so it hits those fried chicken notes really well. But for the love of god, do not eat the old soggy stuff, it is HORRIBLE.

North Texas reporting in. Albertsons will do a $5.99 bucket of legs, wings and thighs (10 count) and it's damn good. Cheap Chicken Monday ftw.
