I went for the $4.99 for 8 pieces of chicken deal at Popeyes on Earth Day.  (Ahhhh I am so behind on my post.)  I went to the Covina location after class since it was on the way http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  For some reason, I thought there wouldn't be that many people there.  I was wrong, way wrong!



There were people, lots of people.  People waiting in line, people waiting inside, people waiting outside, just tons of people.  I patiently stood in line.




After standing in line for 15 minutes or so, I placed my order.  What?  ONLY one $4.99 special per person?  But the guy in front of me just ordered 4 of them.  So the manager decided to limit the special to one per person since they were afraid they might run out of chicken.  That's not fair.  Only if I was there 5 minutes earlier.



So I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited.... for 1 hour and 30 minutes.  FOR 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES!!!!  90 minutes of my precious time for 8 pieces of Popeyes chicken.  It better be damn good.


Popeyes Bonafide Chicken ($4.99)

Yes, the Popeyes Bonafide Chicken was good.  I got 1/2 spicy and 1/2 regular.  They made their spicy chicken pretty spicy.  The chicken was so crispy on the outside and tender & juicy on the inside.  I had a piece of breast meat and it was just perfectly fried.

So the chicken was good, but was it worth 90 minutes of waiting good?  Hell no.  I don't think I'll ever do that again.  I rather just pay the extra $7 next time.
