U due have a .If I am going to eat chicken, it will not be from a fast food joint.
I haven't had Lee's Famous Recipe since I was a teen back in the late 80's. Enjoyed their extra crispy back then. Anyone know if they've kept their chicken the same the last 30 years? I don't really live near or go to the areas much where the few stores are located in Louisville. I might make a special trip if it's the same crispy goodness from my childhood. Unfortunately most places always screw with what works and change things.Lee's founder, Lee Cummings, was the nephew of Colonel Sanders. KFC has lost it's flavor but Lee's is very reminiscent of KFC when it was still Kentucky Fried Chicken. Have to agree with starchief5 though, tough to choose because quality is so inconsistent between stores.
Still pretty good at the ones here in ohio but i don’t think they have extra crispy. i like their potato wedges. they’ve removed livers and gizzards from their menu.I haven't had Lee's Famous Recipe since I was a teen back in the late 80's.

Got some bad news for ya.My favourite restaurant in Lexington is Kenny Rogers Roasters just behind Dowahare’s but I haven’t been there in over 30 years
It's really good. Whenever we come back to East TN to visit, we take a trip back over to Asheville to eat there.Sounds interesting.
Yep. Difference in fried chicken and chicken parts.Canes, Zaxby’s, and Chick Fil A (and Slim Chickens? Don’t know that one) aren’t in the same category as the others.
Poll is tainted.
Hey buddy. Ever tried wild turkey gizzards? If you like chicken gizzards, you’d love those.Yep. Difference in fried chicken and chicken parts.
Damn. Memory unlocked. It was good stuff.Back in the 90’s I guess when Hardee’s sold fried chicken, it was the best with Lee’s right behind. Now not only is the chicken gone but Hardee’s too.
Lee’s soft opening sounds downright sexual to me.
I know where I'm having lunch this weekend! I've been getting my Lee's fix when I'm in Harrodsburg. Glad there's one back here in Lexington again!!
I 100% believe you when you say thisMy favourite restaurant in Lexington is Kenny Rogers Roasters just behind Dowahare’s but I haven’t been there in over 30 years
Was a recent discovery for me as well - glad to share that bit of trivia.Never heard that before.
Hardees is gone? Someone must have forgotten to tell the folks who run the one where I live. 😂Back in the 90’s I guess when Hardee’s sold fried chicken, it was the best with Lee’s right behind. Now not only is the chicken gone but Hardee’s too.
Sad to report the Rooster Run general store is closed. Not sure if it was due to Covid or retirement though.Gas station chicken is usually more consistent than 90% of that list, and better. Dodge's over in Muldraugh was excellent. I haven't been over that way in years, though. Rooster Run in Bardstown had some great chicken.
Yep. It was a Hwy 245 fixture for years. I think after Joe died, the family wasn't interested in keeping it going.Sad to report the Rooster Run general store is closed. Not sure if it was due to Covid or retirement though.
Where do you live? I live in Louisville and the one in JTown is closed and I am not sure about the one on FernValley Rd. I am never out that way anymore. Not sure about any othersHardees is gone? Someone must have forgotten to tell the folks who run the one where I live. 😂
