We preferred Church's as well, Imelda, 'cause it's so crispy. But several years ago, a group of local Palestinian gentlemen began opening convenient stores called Brothers', the type of store that has gas pumps outside. They all also sell fried chicken that they make on the premises. Not only is it as good as Church's, but the pieces are much bigger; the last couple times we got Church's chicken, we could not believe how small the pieces were. I wondered where they got such tiny chickens -- no lie! Brothers' chicken is delicious too, really crispy and cheaper than the chains are. They sell different size assortments but we usually get enough to have leftovers, so we get 4 breasts and 4 thighs; when Brian goes to pick some up, they usually fry them while he waits so they come home nice and hot. They taste really good cold as well, whereas I never found Church's as good the next day, as something would change in their crispy crust.
It's funny as Brian always claims he prefers white meat and I prefer dark, even though we both eat both. But the last couple of times we've gotten fried chicken, he has eaten one, once two, of the thighs, as he "thought they were breasts." The thighs are big but I just laugh at him as if he's not that keen on dark meat, why doesn't he stop eating the thigh once he bites into it! He says it takes him a bit to realize it and by then, he has eaten too much to put it back in the box. One time, he ate two of my thighs! Of course, I then claimed two of his breasts!! The man obviously likes them both!!
