Why are you ordering online from a grocery store? Just go there and inspect it yourself.

I mean if you need a shot before going to the grocery store. I think you have bigger problems.

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.

The Albertsons fried chicken has long had a reputation for being god tier. The kroger fried chicken is shit and mostly bones. All are better than KFC though.

I've tried it from two different grocery stores, and both times it tasted rotten. Tbqh, grocery store chicken in general tastes rotten to me.

the ralphs near me is pretty good but the vons is ALWAYS way overcooked i should call the store about it. maybe its because the vons doesn't get as much traffic so it stays out too long

Why not instacart it so you can also get groceries at the same time. Then you'll have food for now and later and potentially less overall service fees. Or pay for an grocery delivery service that many supermarkets now offer.

I don't know if it's just the one near me, but Safeway's fried chicken is mid at best. It's not very well seasoned, and overly salty. If you have a Save Mart where you live, I recommend theirs. It's worth the difference in price, the flavor is much better.

Lol no. It never is. The best ones are only ever mediocre. The only good thing about them is you're technically getting a better price per piece of chicken.

I used to get Roadies Chicken from a mini-mart occasionally. It was good. Last time I went in there, I noticed a new sign on the sign that misspelled it as "Rodies" chicken. Sure enough, when I went in, it was full of poojeets. Another good thing ruined.

Sometimes the breading is too salty so it depends where you go, but its a way more reasonable price than something like KFC or bojangles.

my experience is they tend to lack salt for my preference (or at least the grocery store fried chicken I've had). I usually get a batch, take them home, add salt, make a gravy and dip them in

>Pathmark
This anon knows ball.
They been outta business for 10+years but I still ream bout that fried chicken that I grew up on. Pathmark fried chicken was the goat and no one else has ever come close. ShopRite and stop&shop suck. Fast food sucks.

That's a damn good deal but the quality will vary widely between which store. Winn Dixie has great fried chicken. Publix has great wings and fantastic popcorn chicken but their bone-in fried chicken is middling.

Publix usually has pretty good fried chicken. Winn-Dixie had either God tier fried chicken or Popeye's reject chicken. Nothing in-between. Which of the two you got was consistent by location. Even in the South, the fried chicken at Kroger is trash.

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.

I buy rotisserie chicken from my local supermarket occasionally and per kilogram it's...cheaper than raw whole chicken from the same supermarket.
How is that possible?

actually at my local piggly wiggly when I lived in wisconsin the fried chicken was universally pretty great, but they got all their chicken from the chicken farm that was just outside of town.
