Where can i get some good (not kfc) fried chicken in the lower mainland? something closer to popeyes..some fried biscuits and shit too

L.A. Chicken by Cambie Rd. & No.5. Only get the chicken though everything else sucks.

Boonie's apparently has fried chicken too but haven't tried it yet.

I was reading one of the daily rags a couple days ago, and one of the articles had mentioned that Refuel Restaurant has really good fried chicken...

It comes at a price though... like $18 for a two piece dinner.

I'm still interested in trying it one of these days though. :D

LA chicken is good but damn its expensive!
3 piece meal cost over 13 bucks after tax.
comes with a coleslaw, fries and gravy or you can substitute the coleslaw for a drink.

churches chicken gets my vote overall.

I'm wondering if their relocated somewhere else

hell yeah. i ate there tons of times.
they were a really weird lees chicken tho.
korean food, japanese food, beer, and lees chicken.

now its a korean restaurant that still serves chicken, but its more korean style.
still good but different. doesnt say lees anywhere anymore but i think they kept the recipe or something lol

PoCo on the corner of Prairie and Coast Meridian. Get the spicy/crispy, fries, gravy and onion nuggets. There are also a few more locations in Abby and Chilliwack.

You know how Church's is mostly owned/operated by Flips? Well, Lee's is the same but for Koreans. Lee...Korean..... :rofl:

Couple of other interesting facts:

Church's and Popeye's merged in '89.
Lee's founder, Lee Cummings was Colonel Sanders nephew and help start KFC with him.

Cool beans... although based on the info that the new restaurant that replaced the Burnaby location, Happy Day Metro House, still has the same fried chicken, I think I'll probably just schedule a visit there sometime. :)

I looked up the info, and back in '89, Popeyes as the 3rd largest fried chicken chain, actually bought out Church's, who were the 2nd largest.

But the parent company actually sold of Church's again in 2004, so the two are no longer related.

I go to that churches chicken once or twice a week for lunch. 2 spicy chicken burgers with no tomato but a slice of cheese. I go to the rogers and buy the pv bluerays while I wait lol

I don't think church's ever had pieces at $0.50 each. Back about 7-10 years ago, they had the regular 10 piece dark meat for $9.99, so a buck a piece. That's the cheapest i can recall and i goto churches regularly since i lease them the land they operate on.:D

[twitchyzero]

Church's is still pretty good in my books.

i remember a bit over 10 years back their 10 pcs were $12
i just had a 4 piece 2 days ago with small fries and the total was $9.

lol it doesn't bother me too much when places jack their prices up..by when they seem to buy smaller drumsticks too :(

anyone prefer drumsticks ove thighs? i always try to ask for drumstiks only..sometimes they are anal and wont let ya.

This is exactly why I never get their combos and why I always just get the 10 piece + gravy + fries for $19. Or just the 10 piece for $14 or whatever it is. Way more worth it.

No.

Price of fried chicken has been over $1 per piece for a LONG time. There's like no way you saw 30 pieces for $15 a couple years ago.

Using the Church's Chicken coupons in the Entertainment Book isn't bad... can get six pieces and fries for like $8.

Church's
I don't really like KFC... but would much rather have that then Honey's.... haha

Thanks for being the guinea pig haha... Honey's crossed off my list!

am the only one that thinks la chicken is gross?

my post from last page
worst fried chicken I have ever ate rofl

Really? I am really curious to know where you think IS the best fried chicken?... I would love to try it if it's heads and shoulders better than LA's! :accepted:

I have had the (mis)fortune of devouring both LA Chicken AND Church's on the same day ... and seriously it's like night and day ... I didn't even feel like touching the Church's after I ate the LA's! :heckno:

[xilley]

NEITHER, it is WAY better than both of those!
That being said, Church's > KFC any day of the week! (Except in China, KFC is delicious) :joy:

you sure its Authentic KFC? :troll:

[Obsideon]

Actually... damn now that I think about it I don't doubt it's not lol!... maybe that's why it's so good ... well only the Spicy Wings anyway! :megusta:
... but they are the biggest food chain in China (yes bigger than McDonalds) and comparatively it's actually not cheap ... a bowl of noodles there is like $1.25 ... whereas a 2 piece with fries at KFC is like $6.50 ... KFC is high-end food there lol ...

[donjalapeno]

just had two twoonie tuesdays from KFC...wasnt that bad...kinda feel sick and wtf is with it not being $2 bucks anymore? now its 3.XX

judging by the amount of extra chicken LA chicken is giving away their gonna go down under soon lol

[unit]

if you're about to go under the last thing you start doing is giving food away.
im pretty sure they're just fine.

[donjalapeno]

soon


chicken is their main selling product

a peice of chicken ( lets say a upper thigh) to them roughly costs 1.20-2 bucks ( including flour, breading, eggs , spices etc). Couple posts up someone claimed they gave them 4 extra pieces so lets say each chicken costs rougly 1.50 to them. 1.50 x 4 = 6 bucks! ( equals to the price of their 2 piece combo)

and thats not calculating the labour that went into prepping the chicken and what not.

say they give out 20 peices of chicken away for free a week that equals to 120 bucks a month and in time that will definitely hurt. Judging by their prices looks as if their profit margins isnt that big either.

[supafamous]

I doubt they got business problems - it's so low budget and lately when I've been there it's been booming with business, much more so than in years past.

In any case, my brother and I are willing to buy the place and keep it going if that's what it takes to keep their chicken flowing down our gullets.

your estimation is astronomical. i could honestly make 4 pieces of fried chicken in my home kitchen for half that price. just this week i bought a 9 pack of chicken thighs from pricesmart for $5. including breading, eggs, etc... thats still probably around $6. and im not buying in bulk from suppliers like they are.

also, they usually give extras during slower hours, because those pieces represent their surplus and included their waste calculation (every restaurant calculates about 10% for waste). its their strategy for using what would have been wasted to keep their customers loyal, and it works.

and its not like they just up and started giving away chicken last week. they've been doing it for (many) years and they're still right there.

[Cassijon]

the cost of chicken (let's say upper thigh) for a restaurant is roughly 0.25-0.60 per piece.

[fliptuner]

I get about 22 boneless, skinless thighs for $18 at Costco ($0.81/pc). With the bone in and skin on, it'll be a bit cheaper.

Yeah, I've had it a few times... because they had a group buy voucher a few months back where you get $13 worth of stuff for $6.

For six bucks, I get six pieces plus an order each of onion rings and fried zucchini sticks... not bad.

The chicken itself isn't bad... so in general, comparing it with KFC and Church's, i would say:

Size of pieces:
1. Church's
2. Chicken World
3. KFC

Tastiness:
1. KFC
2. Chicken World
3. Church's

Culverin: What do you do with the left over oil?

Depends what I end up frying. If it's like store bought hashbrowns, fries or gyoza, then the oil last longer. Ditto with anything in beer batter.

But when you start doing chicken, or like pub style wings night at home, then you might only be able to get 1 session out of it. The flour gets in there an burns. I'm still looking for a filter I can hook up to it and stretch my oil out for 2-3 sessions.

Was given a discount on a 3 piece meal at Churches. Meal was supposed to be like 10 bucks taxed in, but came out to 7.90. Guess it was because I was wearing my Toyota uniform since everyone there knows one of the service advisors from his church.

**************************************

Zabu Chicken

1635 Robson St., Vancouver

604-602-0021

$40 for chicken for two with beer, tax and tip

Cuisine: Korean

During a 10-hour stopover in Seoul last month, I went on a whirlwind culinary tour with an expat food blogger. We hoofed it to a street vendor for freshly steamed kimchi buns, made a mad dash through narrow cobblestone alleys to snack on hand-shaped dumplings stuffed with pork, crushed tofu and sweet potato noodles, then sat down to 12 quick-fire courses at a gourmet Buddhist temple restaurant. Sadly, one local taste sensation we didn’t have time to try was the city’s famous KFC – the other kind.

“You’ve never had Korean fried chicken?” my guide exclaimed, as we devoured deep-fried shitake mushrooms brushed with a sweetly sour chili glaze, the monks’ refined vegan variation.

No, I hadn’t. But upon returning to Vancouver, I made it my mission to find some of this crisp, papery skinned, American-inspired bird that has flown the coop and fluttered full circle, recently ascending as one of the trendiest comfort foods in New York and Los Angeles.

A cross between Southern fried chicken and Buffalo wings, Korean fried chicken (yangnyeom dak) acquires its distinctive crunch from a par-frying technique that renders the fat from the skin, making it thinner and less greasy. Although recipes vary, the chicken is usually dredged in a fine-flour batter, fried for 10 minutes at a relatively low heat and shaken vigorously in a wire strainer to smooth out the coating’s nubs and crags. After being quickly cooled, it is plunged back into the deep fryer until evenly browned and tossed in sauce, which is absorbed through the lean crust without getting soggy.

The search led to Happy Day Metro House, a garishly lit outpost on Kingsway near Boundary Road. Seated at a spacious purple booth while being serenaded by Korean pop and Katy Perry, a friend and I were slightly disappointed to discover that this suburban dive doesn’t provide the customary complements of pickled radish (their wilted broccoli banchan looked awfully sad) or Korean beer (we made do with draft glasses of Okanagan Spring lager). Happy Day does, however, offer massively mounded plates of “real potato chips” (imagine the spiraled “hurricanes” at Richmond Night Market, plucked off their wooden skewers and heavily salted).

After perusing a confusing menu (three menus, actually) with 20-odd fried chicken dishes overlapping in several sections, we eventually settled on spicy drumsticks and a combo platter of boneless white and dark meat with mustard sauce on the side.

“On the side?” an otherwise aloof waitress asked quizzically. Lesson learned: Don’t ignore a server’s subtle hints when dining in unfamiliar territory.

There was nothing wrong with our long juicy tenders buried under slivered green onions. Or the mustard sauce, a magnificently sinus-tingling, minced garlic slurry. Pale golden breading was thicker than expected, leading us to wonder if the chicken had been fried only once – or perhaps brined and steamed before frying (the method David Chang uses for his rarefied Korean fried poulet rouge at Momofuku Noodle Bar.)

But when reheating the leftover pieces (still crisp and moist two days later), I couldn’t help thinking that we had missed a potentially explosive KFC moment by not eating them sizzling hot right out of the fryer, all tangled up in sticky scallion clumps. If you go, order your chicken as the server suggests – although you can safely skip the spicy drumsticks (more delicately fried, but heavy-handedly smeared in goopy, fermented-chili gochujang).

A modern snack food not served in traditional restaurants, Korean fried chicken is still a stealthy target in Greater Vancouver. Zabu Chicken was the only other place I could find it.

Painted in wall-to-wall black and pulsing with bubbly pop music, this rowdy student hangout in the West End’s little Korea Town is more of a late-night bar than restaurant. But it does offer take-out, plenty of Korean beer (including a shattered bottle of Hite that one very tipsy urban soldier dropped at our feet) and extremely addictive, crackly crusted, lightly sauced KFC.

While Zabu’s “freshest, not frozen” chicken can be ordered in various portions of wings and sticks, I suggest the “original,” a whole chicken hacked into bite-sized pieces with all its flavourful thigh meat and finely crusted back bones that are such fun to scrape and chomp. Especially when tossed in Zabu’s finger-licking soy garlic sauce, a mildly sweet honey-garlic glaze ignited by savoury umami. And served with a refreshing side dish of pickled radish.

Mission deliciously accomplished.

^ I've had Zabu Chicken countless of times. It's great, but overpriced. The owner told me that it's double fried.

Let's be honest here.

Anything Korean here in North America is overpriced. Don't even deny it because it's true.
You mean in Vancouver? Korean food in the States is cheap (Seattle, LA, SF).

The chipotle burger was just alright. The Spicy thigh sandwich is miles better IMO

[corollagtSr5]

The restaurant called "happy day" in the globe and mail is the old Lee's chicken. I like zabu chicken, but it is over priced. Also the spicy thigh sandwich is very delicious. Better than chipotle chicken breast sandwich.

That's because Korean food lacks any kind of creativity and nowhere what one could even consider a 'cuisine" because all they did was rob ideas from the Chinese, Japanese and now North American styles of cooking.

You sound very opinionated... too bad your opinion is retarded. A country's cuisine is a reflection of it's history and trade with other countries. Pretty obvious Korean food is going to be influenced by the Chinese and Japanese and vice versa.

[red_sir]

My favourite fried chicken is the yangnyeom style chicken at Honey's on North Road. They have their good day and bad days, but on a good day it's amazing!

[sonick]

That's because Korean food lacks any kind of creativity.

This is somewhat true. I've heard first-hand stories of Koreans going to Costco and eating the hot dog CONDIMENTS as a meal as 'ghetto kimchi'

On second thought, I guess it is pretty creative to make a meal out of hot dog condiments.

Got the 10pcs for $13.99.

Chicken itself was pretty good. It was crispy, juicy and you couldn't really taste the oil.

This is definitely different than the ones you get from church's/kfc. I'm not sure how to describe it.

it isn't the best that I've ever had but it is certainly good. They deep fry it on order so you know it's always fresh.

Also ordered to zucchini sticks for 2 dollars (with taxes). I'm a sucker for these and they taste the same they do anywhere (reminded me of church's when they still had them).

I would give it a solid 8/10.

it isn't the best that I've ever had but it is certainly good. They deep fry it on order so you know it's always fresh.

Also ordered to zucchini sticks for 2 dollars (with taxes). I'm a sucker for these and they taste the same they do anywhere (reminded me of church's when they still had them).

I would give it a solid 8/10.
So is it better than Church's?

Found the Max's Chicken location on a drive home from East Van today. It's just past the intersection of Kingsway and Tyne. From the looks of it, they'll be opening in the next few weeks.
Just took a look at the website and it looks like chinese-style fried chicken (Ja Ji Gai), which isn't as good as southern-style fried chicken.

It's tough to say.

Their pieces are bigger than church's but they need more seasoning/better seasoning.

The oil they use is much better than church's though as you don't feel like death after eating it.

In some areas, they are better but in some they are worse. I wish they offered a spicy option though.

[racerman88]

Been wanting to try them for a while now. Maybe I'll add a little tabasco or Frank's red hot sauce to the chicken for some kick

[twitchyzero]

i pass by chicken world every day..gonna give them a try some time lol

[Expresso]

Just tried out the spicy thigh burger at Church's. OMG. That was so good.

Tried one today and it was pretty tasty! Didn't look like much though, but tasted good!

I just had a fresh one. Had to wait 8 minutes for the thigh. Fresh spicy thigh sandwich is mindblowing.

Went to try L.A Chicken today.

Ordered a 2pc combo, which included thigh + breast, fries, gravy and a drink. Total was $8, which I found a bit expensive. Had the choice of crispy or original, and picked one each. The original was better IMO, had more of the "chicken" taste. The crispy was a bit spicy and it was quite bland. The fries were bland as well, but the gravy was good !

Food - 5/10
Price - 5/10
Service - 8.5/10

Church's would cost more than that.

[Paradise240]

Church's would cost more than that.

I'm sure it would, but IMO, it was still a bit high for me.

Went to Chicken World today. It was made fresh and it was HOT. Taste was better then L.A Chicken, and I would easily put it above them. But, compared to Churches it's still below in the taste category. Price was fair, $8 for 5pc and I found the chicken to be larger then those of L.A chicken. Plus, the lady was very nice and friendly.

IMO, Churches > CW > L.A, dunno about KFC, as I haven't had it in awhile.

[Alphamale]

^Interesting, I found that L.A. was much better than CW by far...

In regards to the chicken shoot out, you can read my friend's review here:

[sonick]

lol that was pretty funny.

[LenovoTurbo]

Went to Chicken World today to see what's it about after seeing CRS's and other peoples posts.

Chicken was fried fresh, waited around 10 minutes or so.

http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af329/Reevitup/2012-03-06_14-21-23_868.jpg

It is juicy, no doubt about that. There is something different from KFC/Churches...it was a bit bland. Maybe it was just one of those bad days?

For now, i think Churches > Chicken World.

[roastpuff]

Has anyone ever tried the bucket of buttermilk fried chicken at St. Augustine's? The best fried chicken I have ever had though it is more expensive than the other places listed here.

Just had this and didn't find it that great. $16 is an ok price considering it's a sit-down place and you get the following:

2 wings + 2 drumsticks - both the batter and meat are kind of bland
onion rings - batter too thick, hard, and salty for my taste
gravy - bit salty
coleslaw - OK, nothing special

^ thats horrid presentation imo....waste of fresh rosemary

[bcrdukes]

^
LOL! I saw that and was like :heckno:

Not sure what to think of St. Augsitine's. They have a bit of an identity crisis - a dive bar or a wannabe upscale pub on The Drive.

[donjalapeno]

its more of a pub than anything....i wouldnt go there to eat dinner id go to have a couple beers and a appy

[unit]

i was just at charlatan today, its pretty reasonable for drinks.
food is just your average, but girls are a little above.

[Culverin]

1. The fried chicken was pretty good. Not as good as home, but I think better than the KFC and churches by a bit.
2. Gravy was ok, a touch salty, but not overly so.
3. Onion rings were WAY too salty.
4. Coleslaw was total meh. Not gross, but not good either.

For $16, it's actually pretty good considering you're getting this at a pub.

The rosemary isn't wasted. It's been deep fried.
Eat it along with your chicken. It's good.
And I for one am happy that they have decent food as well as an extensive beer collection. I mean, it's not like they are charging a lot more for their beer to have decent food there.

I'd even go so far to say that their poutine and pizza was well above expectations.

"wasted rosemary"
thats funny. rosemary grows on huge bushes and is extremely plentiful.

[akira112]

Max's on Kingsway is now open, anyone tried?

even though its used mostly for the aroma, it tastes bitter as fuck alone and it gives you the worst stomach ache ever.

i love using it for roast lamb and chicken then take it out when the roast is done but would never eat it alone it tastes like pine leaves.

[gloors]

Oo when did it open. I might go try it tmr

[corollagtSr5]

I've tried Max's chicken. They only sell it as a whole chicken for $14. They deep fry the entire chicken. The brine they use has lemon/lime in it. To me it just tastes like those whole roasted chicken you get at walmart/superstore but deep fried, but its 5.99 at the super market. It could have been like that because I didn't eat it at the restaurant, and got take out.

Yeah, there's a house down the street from my place that has an entire front hedge of Rosemary. I don't need to grow my own! lol

[CorneringArtist]

Wasted my time going to try Max's Chicken today. I show up at noon, they're supposedly open for dinner only despite their menu showing all day breakfast.

:rukidding:

[AVS_Racing]

I went to Chicken World on tues and bought 10 piece for dinner and it was pretty disappointing, I was expecting fresh fried chicken but instead I just got pieces that were from the heated tray. :rukidding: I don't know if it had anything to do with being on a Tuesday so everyone just went to KFC.

Anyways the chicken turned out to be pretty dry on the inside :heckno:, but the skin was very crispy even though it wasn't fresh fried and not oily like churches/kfc, the zucchini sticks were pretty good though, was fried when we ordered and was still crispy by the time I got home and not oily.

What size zucchini did you order? And approximately how big was it?

[xilley]

just had churches, so fucking guuud.

[AVS_Racing]

Theres sizes for zucchini? I think there's only 1 size cuz it wasn't pictured on the menu so I asked the guy if they had it and he said yes like $ 2 for 4-8 pieces depending on size, and I got like 8 pieces, each piece was like the size of a potato wedge, more than I expected
