Anyone try Banquet frozen fried chicken?

Huge box. Mr X likes chicken, and I no longer slave over frying it from scratch. It was expensive. There better be two breasts in the box

1. used to when I was a kid

it was cheaper than take out, but I don't know if that is true any more. they used to have a "southern" style that was probably just extra black pepper, but it was ok.

2. As a kid I was no stranger to Banquet chicken.

We didn't have a lot of money, but every once in a while Mom would splurge on a box. Man, it came out of the oven so crispy. My Mom didn't like the white meat, so I got to have the breast. One year our oven broke, so we could only cook on the stove top. When we finally got it fixed, we celebrated with the Banquet chicken. To this day I'll occasionally buy one of their chicken dinners just to have a couple of pieces.

5. Acceptable. . barely. I buy fried chicken from the deli counter at my King

Soopers if i am in the mood, and can get great sides. Cheaper than KFC and better.

NEVER get the safeway deli fried chicken!

9. Not bad, but

try Shake-and-Bake.

11. The pieces are very small, the chickens were probably not fully fledged

when they were slaughtered. It will satisfy that fried chicken craving, it's not bad, it's just not great.

Honestly? I'd probably get KFC or a local alternative (we've got a great one) and just keep a box of Banquet for emergencies, like when you're snowed in and really craving fried chicken.

12. I would buy it

as a treat when I moved into my 1st apartment. Not bad for frozen but what did I know. Haven't had it in probably 40 years.
