I had L.A. Chicken tonight for the 2nd time. Prior, I've had my fair share of KFC, Church's, Uncle Willy's, Chicken World, and Popeye's.

I must say, L.A. Chicken is really good; however, it lacks consistency. The first time I had it about a month ago, the chicken wasn't salty, but the batch I've had tonight, it was very salty. To the point, where you're screwed if your meal wasn't accompanied with a beverage.

Anyway, their chicken is moist, the meat is not salty, so I don't believe that it's brine. The coating of the chicken is where their seasoning takes place. It was OVER-SEASONED for my second visit, so a bit of a thumbs down in that regard. The coating is light and crispy. The pieces were big. All in all, it's good. I personally won't rate that it's better than Church's cause both of them excel in different areas where the other one lacks. For example, Church's chicken is brine so it's more juicy, but LA has a crispier coating, but is less moist. They are both on even grounds in my books.

Popeye's still reigns supreme in my opinion.
