Ugh, I was doing some grocery shopping with my son at the nearby mall when I saw a banner over the fried chicken place: it said that for one day only you can have unlimited fried chicken for $5. Sides and drinks costs extra (potatoes, coleslaw, bread, etc) so I figure its probably going to be closer to $7-9 overall.

The question is, should I do it? :shock:

On the outside: You shouldn't do it. That probably wouldn't be healthy.

On the inside: Yes! Do it! Do it now!

How's their fried chicken?

If its great stuff - go for it. If it is mediocre - why bother?
 
Something tells me that the quality of the raw ingredients will not be of the highest quality. If you want battery-farm, antibiotic-injected, steroid-grown chicken, go for it. You get what you pay for, so what do you think $5 worth of unlimited quantity fried chicken is likely to be like?
 
For $5? Go for it, there is no downside.

Good question. I havent eaten there in years. Their batter is almost nonexistent- more like a thin flour coating to make the skin crunchy, but the insides are pretty juicy.
 
Do you really need to ask? :mrgreen:

Do you get to graze there the entire day for $5?

Why wouldn't you? Of course!
 
I have found the unlimited things like that tend to be bad ideas!
 
It's fried chicken. So yes.

Several places around here will sell you an 8 piece fried chicken for $5. I partake in that on occasion.

This could be a "one-meal lifesaver" for many families! If they don't have to eat it there, I'd say Go for It, take it home, make your own mashed potatoes, and enjoy! :thumbs:

Absolutely, if you like that fine feeling of an overstuffed stomach.

They don't use steroids on chickens any more. Fryers have been selectively bred to grow fast enough that steroids would be a waste of money.

I can't imagine that the merchant would allow you to fill any container to consume at a later time. Makes no business sense. Besides, Americans need to stop eating "by the pound!" Look at the breakdown of customers at many "all you can eat" troughs. We are over a population that is over 50% obese and there is a Diabetes 2 epidemic! Cost everyone in the long run..
 
For anything but Bojangles, I'd lay that $5 down in a nano.
 
If its good food...sure. All you can eat is an offering...not a challenge. 2-3 pieces of good chicken for 5 bucks would be a decent enough deal.

Sorry, but if someone offers me a buffet or an eat all you can entree, I take it as a challenge. :mrgreen:

I probably could, but I'm not going to do that. Just bad form, imo.

You obviously have never heard of cholesterol, hypertension, heart attacks, strokes.

If PoS is healthy with normal BP. It probably is okay once in a while.

If he is not in good shape...stay away.


Have you ever seen what KFC (for example) puts in their chicken? It's disgusting.

The following is for just 1 piece of KFC original recipe chicken breast on the bone:

1200 mgs sodium (you shouldn't have much more than 2,000 per day - and that is too high unless you are taking in LOTS of potassium)

120 mg cholesterol (300 max per day - if you are healthy. 200 if you are not).

God knows what else is in that tasty slop.

You are no man but a remorseless eating machine. :2razz:

 
Fried chicken is my one weakness in a relatively healthy diet.. One day of gluttony won't burst your veins/heart etc..

You would die faster drinking to much water than eating too much chicken ( at a sit down eat)

Yes I know "Show me your source..."

Drinking Water Too Fast May Mean Water Intoxication (Hyponatremia)

I will admit,, if I ever go to a all you can eat event.. I eat an average amount.. never over stuff myself.. Probably Thanksgiving/Christmas are my worst eat too much days..

Except that a year or so ago, they finally completed a long-term study (granted, it was based on self-reported consumption, etc.). They found that people who ate less than 3g of sodium a day and more than 7g a day had the worst heart-related outcomes. 3g-7g, significantly more than they had been recommending, seemed to produce the best overall outcome.

I agree with the above . I have seen this kind of chicken deal years ago and it was discovered the graded of the birds was not what you want.
