Kroger, or Tom Thumb on occasion. Worked to long at Churches and later Popeyes to ever consider doing it at home.
12 hour marinating is good for infusing a flavor throughout the meat(Churches), a cayenne pepper rub is good for adding spices to the crust(Popeyes).
Process pieces in the following order. Thighs, Legs, Breasts, Wings - helps get everything done at the same time.
Pieces goes in seasoned flour, then liquid, then back to seasoned flour, then into the oil. About 350° for 15minutes starting time after last piece added IIRC.
Sorry for no exact seasoning mixtures. They were a package to maintain recipe secrecy. Though the process might help though.

hm, the local Winn-Dixie has outstanding FC, and a very good wing bar (well. Nowadays, the lunch lady there will stuff a bucket of wings for $10).

Two key elements for good fried yardbird. Buttermilk is required. After the second dip in flour, let the pieces sit for 20 mins. Then fry.
I was starting to wonder where the buttermilk was. Thanks @kelbro.
Kentucky Fried Chicken or Costco Broiled Chicken. Can’t remember the last time we actually fried chicken.
@TexOkie Shaver I totally respect everything about you. Except for this. Branch out or refrain. Whilst both KFC and Costco have their time and place the world has so much more to offer.
SWMBO must be obeyed. She hates frying chicken and making gravy.

Just last night my wife and I were talking about fried chicken and I realized that I've never had it. I've had KFC and Chick-Fil-A but never a genuine proper plate of fried chicken.
Go ahead. Call me a fool Yankee.

No, no...I've never had cannoli.
Nobody mentioned marinading the chicken pieces in hot sauce? Maybe that's a Tennessee thing.
Get a rope!
Blueberry?
I just asked the wife if we could have fried chicken, mashed taters and gravy and baked beans. Her reply? Sure, Kentucky Fried Chicken is just up the street. You weren’t asking me to cook it were you?

Fried chicken is something I recall fondly from the days of my youth .. once a month we'd have Colonel Sanders ..
Last time I tried KFC the initials had been re-purposed with UP - it was greasy awful. Haven't the courage to try again. I'd love to find some tips here,

I’ve found that the quality varies greatly from store to store. We have one that is two miles south that is horrible. Another one two miles north is great. It’s truly a case of YMMV.
The best store bought fried chicken I’ve ever had was AQ Chicken in Springdale AR. Even then we found times it was horrible. There just doesn’t seem to be any consistency anymore.
