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.

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.

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

NEVER get the safeway deli fried chicken!

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.

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.
