Our Kroger has better fried chicken than KFC at a much more reasonable price.
the BEST deals on supermarket fried chicken around us is if you can hit the store at around 4 p.m. because the deli is power making friend chicken and chicken strips for the dinner rush they take the pieces in the hot box, package them and put them in the cooler at half price now, the packs can get odd-all dark meat or a 'frankenchicken' (equivalent to a whole chicken piece wise but 3 breasts, 1 thigh, 3 drums , 1 wing-whatever they toss together). i've also gotten 2 piece packs for less than $2 each (freeze up fine-great for easy grab and go lunch). i've noticed they do the same thing with their premade deli sandwiches-go after the dinner hour and they have that day's on sale for half price while they are making up the next days to put in the cooler for the morning staff to set out.
pricing now is so strange-some things i never would have thought to not make from scratch, if i time it out at some stores i can get it for much less.
