I was at Family Dollar buying milk and cat food. I remembered a couple

I decided to look in the freezer case. Sure enough! Boxes of frozen
Banquet "fried chicken pieces". No, I did not buy it. But yes, it is
still available.

Better than no fried chicken!!

Back in the late 1960's, that was a regular dinner every couple of
weeks. We've since learned about better foods.

I buy it a a couple of times a year. The Banquet frozen stuff is for

I forgot to mention the price! At the Family Dollar: $7 a box. Six to
eight "assorted pieces" of chicken. Uh huh. The only hot and spicy
I see is Banquet chicken wings. I don't buy those, either.

I don't buy it anymore, haven't for years, but I liked it fine at the time.

For frozen, I like Tyson's Crispy Chicken Strips. These are real chicken strips (not ground up and formed) from breast meat. There sometimes is too much breading in spots, but it's easy to take off as you eat it.

LIke all frozen foods, it gets worse every year. None of them are
worth a damn, anymore. The last example I saw was TGIFs regular hot
wings. The sauce is no longer on the wings, it's in a separate pkt
and you gotta put it on the wings. Cheap bastids.

I used to eat stuff like that when I was young. Cigarette smoking renders
some folks incapable of discerning between good food and crappy food, and
all the shades in between; it did me. Heck, well into the 1980s, I was all
over frozen breaded/battered fish, and I'd soak it in RealLemon. I'm sure
I'd still enjoy Mrs. Paul's/Gorton's/etc. but not with bottled lemon juice.
Some frozen prepared things are pretty good. I haven't tasted Stouffer's
lasagne in years, but I doubt it has changed, and I buy frozen pizzas.
Heck, the Palermo's Ultra Thins are really good, and a few others are pretty
good.

Besides, the standard for self made food--where you do more than merely stick
something into the oven--should be much higher, and a big part of that is
good ingredients.

Back when we were eating that stuff, we never had to worry about calories at
all but I imagine there are a bunch in both.

I'd rather get the deli fried chicken. It tastes better and I don't have to spend an hour at home baking it.

Oh, does it take an hour? I had no idea! I figured it was just heat &
eat. I'm with you on the fried chicken from the deli! I buy it at
Publix a couple of times a year. It's nice to be able to pick and
choose the pieces, too.

I had to google since it's been so long...google-fu says 350 degrees for 50 minutes. It seems to me that you could roast chicken in that amount of time (perhaps at a higher temp)

Most of those frozen foods need about an hour in the oven just to thaw
and heat through... a frozen pizza needs about 20 minutes in the oven
to thaw and then another 10 minutes to brown. If I wanted fried
chicken I'd buy it at a deli; faster, no muss, no fuss, and costs
less. I don't much like fried/breaded chicken, but I'll sometimes buy
rotisserie chickens at the deli... the deli in the little market in
town often has rotisserie chicken on sale: 2fer $5... eat one for
dinner and put one in the fridge, I like cold chicken, my cats much
prefer cold chicken... the carcasses go out in the yard for the
critters.

At least until recently, most of their shit was full of soon to be illegal

The Banquet Turkey frozen meal is low calorie and good with the
fat/carb/protein percentage. I used to eat those when on a diet. I
have one in my freezer right now waiting for the urge to hit me. It's
sliced turkey with gravy and dressing, mashed potatoes and peas.

At my grocery store deli, their fried chicken is very good. For some
reason though, it tastes like crap once you cool it and then reheat
it. That's the time to turn it into buffalo whole chicken pieces.

230 calories, 7.1/32/13.1 is more than 61% calories from carbohydrate.
That's low calorie, and if one of them is satisfying, OK, but that
proportion is the high carb/low fat balance that has made folks in the
USA fatter every year. For weight loss, a better proportion would be
32/7.1/13.1 fat/carb/protein.

Not if you've ever been inside one of their plants.

I was working for RCA's David Sarnoff Research Center in the late 1970s,
creating real-time process control systems, when RCA decided to
diversify, and bought Hertz, a carpet company, and Banquet. I was
assigned for a while to a Banquet project.

After my first visit to a Banquet plant in Pennsylvania, I didn't eat
chicken for two years.

I've never seen a 2-fer $5 rotisserie chicken deal in a regular grocery
store. What I remember is more like $6 for *one* rotisserie chicken. A
quick peek at the local Publix site shows rotisserie chicken at "Market
Price". That means you *might* have to pay for it in gold. LOL

Maybe the proprietors at Sheldon's little market are raising their own
chickens.

That's why I just buy the number of pieces I want at the Publix deli. I
don't have to buy a whole fried chicken. They sell boxes of it (hot or
cold) containing specific pieces.

Or you can wait a few minutes and choose however many pieces you'd
prefer right out of the fryer. Get there around noon and you'll find
people on their lunch break lined up buying fried chicken & some side
dishes.

I've never seen them that cheap either. The cheapest for one that I find are
at Costco for 4.99 and they are consistently delicious. They usually go for
5.99 to 6.99 at the other grocery stores, and not really all that good
either.

Why do you think I said you might have to pay for the chicken in gold?
Gold bars found from a Spanish shipwreck off the coast, perhaps? It's a

LOL Did they even *sell* rotisserie chicken in grocery stores in 1987?
Seems to me rotisserie chickens are a fairly recent (say in the last
decade) addition. Most grocery stores didn't have the cooking
facilities to be frying or rotisserieing chickens.

Then again, he's mentioned salad bars being in most grocery stores. I
haven't seen a salad bar in a grocery store since the 1990's. I'm sure
*some* supermarkets have them...
